Fading of the Cries trailer, you guys. Probably the best trailer of all time:

Uh……

UHHHHH…..

This trailer clearly operates by three rules:

  1. They ain’t ready
  2. Motherfuckers need to know
  3. Get your shit

I will tell you one thing:

WE’RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER MIDNIGHT SCREENING ONCE A MONTH WHERE (WHITE) PEOPLE DRESS UP AS THEIR FAVORITE CHARACTERS AND THROW CORN AT THE SCREEN!

Here is the most recent photo taken of Bushwick:

Under the suit, of course, Bushwick is wearing this:

“I will despatch the very essence that nightmares are fabricated…fromuntil it is pried from your decaying flesh.”
–Ironic T-shirt

Oh hi, swords!

Sorry, I know that I am all over the place. But how else am I supposed to be? Did you even watch that thing? It is like Children of the Corn meets the Matrix meets 28 Days Later meets Pan’s Labyrinth meets MacPaint meets A BRAIN HOSPITAL. “How many ambulances do you have? That’s not enough ambulances!” (Thanks for the tip, GeneralDisarray.)

  1. I don’t think I’ve ever switched between thinking something looks awesome and something looks terrible so many times while watching a trailer.

    so confused

  2. Wormtongue, you’re better than this!

  3. Not enough sex scenes.

  4. So, at 0:49… I listened to it 3 times, and I am pretty sure he says “You ruined the Sara Lee. RETURN IT.” And that is the catalyst for whatever else is going on here? God, I hope I’m right…

  5. Henry Rowengartner in the mothafuckin hooooouse!

  6. i really love the bloody hand face thing at 1:26. does that guy do parties? (videogum pizza parties?)

  7. I have SO many questions.

    Namely, did that guy just turn into a flock of crows? And when exactly do they mean by “coming soon”?

  8. I know we all have a lot of fun on this site with people who are our boyfriend, our mayor, our peraenium, etc. So I’d just like to say that Fading of the Cries is definitely my movie.

  9. The production values here are much too high for Tommy Wiseau. But the level of wtf-ery is about right.

  10. You’re swording me apart, Lisa!

  11. Sarah: Do you want me to order a mystic pizza in case there are dead people?
    Mathias: Whatever, I don’t care.
    Sarah: I already ordered a mystic pizza.
    Mathias: Swords! You think about everything.

  12. There is some bizarro floppy sack mask shit going on here! And BRAD DOURIF! He’s the actor you forgot was in every movie you love.
    I try to work his name into conversation at least a couple times a month.

  13. “We have to get out of here!!! Because, bats.”

  14. Also, thanks for reminding me about this. “Excited exclamation of some kind!” -me

  15. 4. (Stare into camera)

  16. Also, who gave these people access to the Christopher Dane Owens “Shine On Me” outtakes? And why did they decide to lower the contrast and brightness and cut them with clips from The Crow. (R.I.P. Brandon Lee. Never Forget.)

  17. It’s called Fading of the Cries? What? “the journey home will begin for some ; one is set on destruction”? … this looks and reads like a poorly translated Japanese video game trailer.

  18. I used to know a girl. She had a dozen runes of Sara Lee. One guy found out about, dispatched the very essence nightmares are fabricated from on her so bad she ended up in a brain hospital on Guerrero Street.

  19. Wow, just like Harry Potter, the Kid in King Arthur’s Court franchise keeps getting darker, weirder and better (only minus the better).

    That was the kid from that at the beginning, right?

  20. “Uwe Boll presents Tommy Wiseau’s This Isn’t Twilight, or: The Room 2: Except Outside”

  21. Don’t worry you guys. The director also directed 24: The DVD Board Game. Quite possibly my favorite DVD board game based around a show starring Keifer Sutherland.

  22. Part of this seems like a sequel to Radiohead’s “Just” video. All the people laying on the ground, nobody is sure why…

  23. Alright, quibble. It states, “Darkness is unleashed.” Implying that by opening a door, darkness is dispersed from adjoining room into adjoining room, sort of like heat (cold is the absence of heat, or a wider dispersion of thermal molecules).

    But we know that it is light that functions similar to heat, not darkness. Light disperses from a given source. Darkness is default.

    On that principle alone, the movie is unwatchable, right?

  24. A. Always
    B. Be
    C. turning into Crows

  25. 2:07 looks like an outtake from Nick Arcade (90?s kids game shows whuut!!). Watch out for that cartoon green screen bat! Do they win a trip to Disney world if they get through that tunnel OK?

  26. This reminds me of “Ink,” which was a terrible abomination of a film.

  27. That’s the biggest budget a student film has ever had!

  28. WORKIN ON THEM TEETH!

  29. Well, the results came back. I definitely have sword cancer.

  30. At 1:48, Rookie of the Year. The shit just got real

  31. So someone increased the SyFy Original Pictures budget by about a hundred bucks then?

  32. somehow this Trailer manages to look expensive yet really fucking cheap in a C ME Dance kind of way at the same time.

  33. I can’t believe it stars TJ Wiseau too. That’s crazy.

  34. Somebody thought the scene from Stephen King’s the Gunslinger–where Rolland kills wave after wave of the fanatical townsfolk of Tull–was awesome, but that it would be even more awesome if Roland had used a sword. Also–can we please get Adobe Aftereffects the fuck away from the talentless hacks of the world. It’s just too damn easy to make shitty special effects, only FASTER!

  35. Uhmm….. I actually kinda like the visuals from this. And I hate Uwe Boll’s films.

  36. Okay so this thread is about 50 comments deep. Has no one made that t-shirt yet? You lisas are tearing me apart.

  37. Brad Dourif = I am so fucking in. <3<3<3 He can do no wrong.

  38. Haaaaaa! I like that they are not so much running away from the ketchup-covered twisty heads and clean t-shirt wearing zombies as JOGGING away from them. “Come on! We have to get out of here! Slowly, but steadily! Don’t raise your knees so high!”

  39. Also come on, gothic wizard bad guys are not so evil-looking when threatening others in your mom’s living room. With the decorative lamps and polished end tables.
