…a terrifying thriller in which two crew members wake up on an abandoned spacecraft with no idea who they are, how long they’ve been asleep, or what their mission is. The two soon discover they’re actually not alone — and the reality of their situation is more horrifying than they could have imagined.
Love the whispered bugged-out urgency and ratchet-wrench editing in this preview of Christian Alvart’s Pandorum. It reminds me of the isolated desperation in the perpetual panic attack of John Carpenter’s The Thing. Coming to us from Movieweb via First Showing, it’s the closest thing to a perfect terror trailer I’ve seen all year. I’m expecting Drag Me to Hell to have my nerves in knots this weekend, but I’d really rather be put through the wringer of dread in a movie devoid of jokiness or camp.
Starring Ben Foster, Dennis Quaid, Antje Traue, Cung Le, Norman Reedus and Cam Gigandet, Pandorum is due in theaters September 4th.
