Holy Crap: The ‘Ink’ Trailer Will Melt Your Face Off

Ink

I don’t usually get blindsided by trailers – we get our fair share of publicity emails, but nothing that blows me away – but every once in a while we get something that looks truly incredible.

Check it out for yourself (in HD!):

Based solely on the trailer, it looks like Dario Argento hit up a double feature of Dark City followed by Pan’s Labyrinth and decided to make his own fairy tale. The story focuses on the kidnapping of a young girl by a mythical dark being and the group fighting to find her and bring her back. There looks to be a ton of sci-fi elements mixed in with fantasy and a touch of glass-breaking, fist-fighting action sequences.

Ink, directed by Jamin Winans, has its world premiere tomorrow evening at the Santa Barbara Film Festival (yeah, there are other festivals going on besides the Dance), and who knows – the acting might be flat or the story might be overdrawn, but judging from the trailer, I want to see more.

What do you think? Am I right to be floored?

  • You're more than right to be floored. The look and feel mixed with the sci-fi fantasy element looks brilliant. The movie could suck balls and I'd still watch it just for that.
  • Billingtonesque hyperbole aside, the trailer does look pretty cool. Especially for an obviously low budget thriller.
  • the trailer looks pretty wierd, i see what you mean about DArk City connections, i also picked up on a White Noise type of feel. This looks interesting even though the filming looks low budget.
  • white noise?.. more like white nose! ..ammaright?

    (2:06 on trailer if you don't catch my drift..)
  • Zing.
  • Hell yeah!
    I'll be seeing this tomorrow at the world premiere.
  • Wow, very intriguing.
  • Not sure, would have to see more actually have an honest opinion about it.
  • The little thumbnail for this story looks like david lettermen.
  • Alex
    Yeah this trailer looks pretty solid to me....I must admit I seriously jumped a bit at 0:47...did not expect it...maybe cuz I just woke up and was still disoriented when watching this trailer.....or I'm just covering up the fact that I'm a spineless scaredy-cat ::shrugs::
