[Trailer.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRhUId3gtoE)

Looks like a movie I’d enjoy. Seems pretty original too.

It does seem original! I am intrigued…except I am a big wussy and don’t like horror at all so I most likely won’t see it. But it’ll be interesting to read reviews.

We saw the previews and laughed ourselves sick. So, I guess not.

It looks terrible, IMO.

The premise has promise. The trailer doesn’t look like it delivers.

I saw the trailer yesterday and I think it looks pretty good for what it is. I’ll be seeing it because my bf’s son is my horror movie buddy; that’s our “thing”. He initially saw a commercial for it and asked to see it. I read about it online and the reviews weren’t good but I figured I’d grin and bear it like I do all the other stupid movies that pass for horror these days. The only thing I dread is all the dumbass texters that will no doubt be in the theatre.

The [parody](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5liTryEjqyA) of the trailer.

I guess it’s a sign of a successful marketing campaign when you have people parodying your trailer.

It looks terrible, and to me, it looks like they basically just stole the idea from the [top all-time post](http://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/29kd1x/my_dead_girlfriend_keeps_messaging_me_on_facebook/) on [/r/nosleep](http://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep) (it’s not in the original post, but the poster made later follow ups that involved “someone” taking photos from just outside his window at night).

Based on the shorter trailers they play before youtube vids, I thought it seemed interesting…but after I saw the parody I looked for the full trailer, and I’m a little more meh. I think I might watch it just out of curiosity, but it does look a little silly…that blender!

Sweet zombie jesus, did this movie suck!!! Five exclamation points, the sure sign of the diseased mind!!! Caused by viewing this “movie”. I must have been a terrible person in some previous life, because every movie I’ve seen this year has sucked. Every. Single. One.

Unfriended. Sucked.  
Get Hard. Sucked.  
The Lazarus Effect. Sucked.  
The Gambler. Sucked.

And what’s worse? I didn’t WANT to see any of them! I got dragged there by my “loving” family. I’m starting to think they’re trying to induce an aneurysm.
