I thought he was very good in "The Aviator" and excellent in "The Departed", but when he shows up for the first time in a trench coat, I can't help but think he looks like a ten year old boy playing dress up. I hope Scorsese nixes his plans to have him play Teddy Roosevelt and Frank Sinatra. I’ll probably see this, and I’m no DiCaprio hater.

I hope that since Martin is a little new to the horror genre that he doesn't resort to jump scares to give the viewers goose bumps. It's funny but after seeing the trailer I was reminded of your recent post about why don't more big time directors try their hand at horror. I’m really looking forward to this flick.

This trailer really does just that ... wonder if the finished product will be equally horrific. One can hope ...

At least we know Scorsese won't sugarcoat it. I hope the trailers and reviewers don't give it away.

Is this really Scorsese's first attempt at this genre? What about his Cape Fear remake?
