'Dark Matter' Trailer Reveals It's a Serial Killer Movie
February 28, 2008 Comments
At what point in the film will Dark Matter turn from a fish-out-of-water drama, following a Chinese cosmology prodigy's inability to conform to a university's political hierarchy, to a serial-killer-on-the-loose story? If the trailer gives us any indication, somewhere around the last quarter, when the rapid-fire cuts, mad flailing, and negative images start up. I have to admit, making it seem like I might see an immigrant go on a murderous rampage does make me want to see the film more, but couldn't they find a way to imply he might be a ghost too, or that he and Aidan Quinn are actually the same person? That kind of stuff really amps me up.
