Feb 28 2008'Dark Matter' Trailer Reveals It's a Serial Killer Movie
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.

This is to add some extra information, and to maybe clear up some misconceptions you had about the movie.
It seems like this is based on real events of the University of Iowa shooting. It also seems to take from Jo Ann Beard's famous essay "The Fourth State of Matter" which was critically acclaimed. With this in mind, I doubt that he will turn out to be a ghost.
