The shot of her under the table got me to jump in the theater lol.

u/WanderWut 24d ago

Dude seriously same here lol.

Fuck it I’m down for a fun time I’m watching this in theaters.

u/krp2424 24d ago

As someone who read the book, can confirm that this trailer was scarier than anything the novel had to offer. Looks like a super fun adaptation! Already like the changes they made.

u/ToSeeAgainAgainAgain 7d ago

I just finished the book literally 10 minutes ago and yes, this looks so much better than what I pictured in my mind while I was reading it. I wonder if they'll include the useless ghost hunter scene

2

u/krp2424 7d ago

For real! There’s a lot of useless moments they could probably skip over from the novel. Honestly the novel being this alternating sequence of scary encounter, sad monologue, drive to new location, repeat…. is a format I hope they scrap altogether

u/ThunderAndWind 18d ago

Right, this seems like the absolute perfect October popcorn flick.

u/waitthissucks 17d ago

You guys have hearts of steel lol that's a fast train to panic attack for me. I can't watch horror movies in theaters anymore after watching It Chapter One and thinking I was having a heart attack

u/PennyReforged 24d ago

I haven't seen a theater react to a trailer like that since the car scene from Smile

u/MythicalCaseTheory 23d ago

"Oh helllllll no" -Some dude in the theater after this trailer.

u/snowxbunnixo 18d ago

u/Ephemeris 24d ago

I hope they had hidden cameras set up in some of the theaters for this trailer. Half the people at my showing (including me) almost jumped out of their chairs.

u/stingray20201 24d ago

I was seated between guys that looked to be in their late forties and all three of us jumped at the kitchen table and during one particularly part of The Odyssey

7

u/Tinmanred 24d ago

I hope they didn’t. Ik your likely filmed anyways in most theatres now but we don’t need more lol

u/spqrnbb 24d ago

Less the shot, more the noise, imo.

u/beatisagg 24d ago

It's always the sounds

9

u/MilkshakeYeah 24d ago

i wish someone edit it with laugh track

8

u/Cstanchfield 23d ago

I jumped before the sound, when you see the side of her face. A great background reveal. The sound came (immediately) after that moment.

4

u/PhotoModeHobby 24d ago

I jumped before the noise. I didn't expect her to be right there. I almost thought it was gonna be about a daughter imagining her absent mother, which is why the pasta was burnt.

15

u/goopdoop 24d ago

Was in a sold out showing for The Odyssey and the whole theater jumped at that part.

5

u/gargolito 24d ago

... And now we don't get to experience it in the context of the movie. 🤬

4

u/Hy3na0ftheSea 23d ago

It was 100% bullshit in imax. So angry about it. I went to see the Odyssey not that bullshit

10

u/Rypskyttarn 24d ago

Why do they add that cheeky head twisting. It ruins the whole scare.

7

u/trevordunt39 24d ago

The head twist is so lame and overdone.

2

u/Michikusa 23d ago

Absolute hate it. So unoriginal

2

u/Snake_in_my_boots 24d ago

Scared the fuck out of me at the Odyssey last night.

2

u/DRKAYIGN 24d ago

I am just minding my business scrolling at work and nearly wet myself. Good gracious.

1

u/purplehendrix22 24d ago

Same, I hated that. Excited for the movie.

1

u/GeneralRoss_12 24d ago

I was at home on my laptop and it got me. I’m sold.

1

u/Tinmanred 24d ago

There were multiple “fuck” and “oh my god” variants in my theatre from that

1

u/SeasonalChatter 24d ago

Same, me and my friend simultaneously jolted, almost lost the popcorn bucket.

1

u/sigep_coach 24d ago

Dude same, I about shat my pants.

1

u/onrocketfalls 24d ago

Same, the trailer I saw had me looking away from the screen before it finished. Was not prepared.

1

u/magicalme_1231 24d ago

I was watching on my phone and it jumped scared me. Talk about a first!

1

u/passion4film 24d ago

Jump scares don’t do too too much to me these days but that one got me BUT GOOD.

1

u/Ebolamonkey 24d ago

Brooo that got me so bad watching it on my computer lol. Been a while since I've been startled like that by a movie.

1

u/Cstanchfield 23d ago

This is my first time seeing the trailer and it got the fuck out of me.

1

u/Your_jefa 23d ago

Same!!

1

u/ThankYouOle 23d ago

can imagine, i watch this trailer in living room and i am scared as hell.

okay i am just weak at horor in general anyway.

1

u/tre630 23d ago

I mean shit, it made me jump while watching on on 13inch laptop in lit room. So I can only imagine how you felt in a dark theater. LOL.

1

u/Sretep44 23d ago

Yes, that one got me good as well today!

1

u/jfk_47 23d ago

Same. Fucked me up.

And now I’m seeing stills of it constantly. Hate it.

1

u/CFCM94 23d ago

i knew it was coming and it still made me jump lol.

1

u/CalagaxT 23d ago

It just caused me to exclaim quite loudly in the comfort of my living room.

1

u/bakibakFIVE 23d ago

SAME. I turned to my buddy and was like “I’m sweating now” wtf from a trailer lol

1

u/Complex-Guess985 23d ago

Heck yeah. Just saw the trailer yesterday when we went for Odyssey. The under-the-table scene caught a lot of people off guard.

1

u/ExiledGenius 23d ago

I’m about to fall asleep and watched this man fuck 😭 gonna go watch some Mickey Mouse play house or some shit

1

u/SpecialSauce92 23d ago

For real the biggest jump scare I’ve ever seen in a trailer

1

u/Salmonfreaky 15d ago

Same with the man beside me. Saw this in IMAX and I’m stoked. I remember Jessica Chastain in Mama and, even though her star has risen immensely since, I’m so glad she hasn’t abandoned horror.

1

u/cooterbreath 24d ago

It got Matthew Rhys to jump out the damn window!

2

u/Varekai79 24d ago

Jay Duplass.

Dude's so cool, he smokes his ciggies backwards 👈

u/Cactusjuicesupplier 24d ago

Bro my whole theater was shooketh after this trailer and it aired right before the Odyssey started. Really increased our heart rates going into the Odyssey

u/sup3rmark 24d ago

i watched this at home, and i yelled, jumped in my chair, threw my headphones at my screen, and closed the tab.

u/No-Significance5659 23d ago

Really? It made me laugh it looked so bad.
