Den Thread hier hatte ich übersehen, bin dann vor "The Mummy" im Kino aus dem Nichts mit dem Trailer (bzw. eher Teaser) konfrontiert worden und war direkt angefixt. Diese Art Stoff ist natürlich genau mein Ding. Habe mir dann auch gleich mal den ersten Kurzfilm angeschaut, ziemlich beeindruckend, sowas mit 16 auf die Beine zu stellen...

Ja, diese Art von Horror mag ich auch gern. Freue mich auf den Film.
