Finally I got to see some new trailers on the big screen (along with some not so new ones). In order of excitement and anticipation-
Guillermo del Toro’s Mama
One of the few movie trailers for scary movies that actually have scared me. I got goosebumps and freaked out during this trailer. I eagerly am awaiting [...]
