For the second straight week, a major horror movie remake that has garnered good reviews (at least, horror-wise) has failed to parlay that acclaim into significant box office returns.

The film caused a bit of a stir at Sundance this year, but despite the disturbing content, the new trailer shows quite a flair for quirky dark humor. For my money, McKee (May, Red, The Woods) has yet to miss, so I'm certainly looking forward to what he has to offer this time around.
