Either way, I think it's clear from the trailer that people need to stop referring it to a remake of Blood Simple. It's not an adaptation either exactly since it's the same medium...unless you want to say it's adapted to a new time period and culture...but the connection is obviously loose and plot related.

On the other hand, this isn't exactly what I expected and I must admit, the trailer leaves me cold. Very cold. Still, I have to see this, right? How could I not?
