Dennis Quaid is Dying for You to See the New ‘Horsemen’ Trailer

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a truly chilling thriller. Focus Features hopes to change that with The Horsemen, borrowing a page from The Bible … and a story similar to Se7en. Check the trailer out.

The Horsemen, starring Dennis Quaid and Ziyi Zhang, focuses on a recently widowed detective that discovers startling connections between himself and suspects in a serial killing spree linked to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The film is Swedish director Jonas Akerlund’s latest effort, having directed the drug film Spun in 2002. It’s hard to know what to think of the trailer. Maybe we’ve been burnt too many times by poor suspense thrillers. We’ll let you decide whether it’s worth wearing blood covered glasses and heading out to theaters for the film. It does remind me of drunken rides in a car four years ago as Metallica’s Four Horsemen blared out of the speakers. Sigh, you never forget that freshman year of college.

The Horsemen debuts in theaters on March 13th. What do you think of The Horsemen trailer? What is Dennis Quaid’s best performance of his career?

    very much of se7en; still, intriguing nonetheless...best dennis quaid??? call it nostalgia, but for the goofy quaid, "innerspace"...for the serious(like) quaid, "the right stuff"...
    child o' the 80's...sorry!
    ff.
  • I'm thinking the same thing. Dennis Quaid, WTF, who passed on this script. It does have se7enish appeal. I just can't get passed Dennis Quaid.
  • Enemy Mine or Dragon Heart Quaid?? Better films. This might be worth a look, does Ziyi get naked?
  • We will look into it. ;)
  • Work, work, work, it is a tough job...lol.
  • Oh I can't wait for this, going to Fandango to preorder Nooow!!!

    It's got Dennis Quaid, one of the most overrated actors ever. It screams they were unable to cast a more famous actor in this one. And on top of that this looks really silly and was made over two years ago. Had it been any good it would have been in theatres ages ago and would not have a limited release. Let's hope this one goes straight to DVD.
