The trailer for Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters dropped earlier this morning and left us staring to the sky in awe of the electric light show put on display.

After some time to digest, we went through frame-by-frame to pull shots and reflect on what we’ve just seen.

One thing is for certain, it looks as if Feig’s Ghostbusters cherry picks moments to remake, from the Library Ghost to the introduction of Slimer, and even the way the new Ghostbusters are formed.

And yet, Feig manages to keep all that is holy in place by refusing to change the look of the Proton Stream and sound design.

With that said, he does bring his own flair to the look of the film by upgrading the Proton Packs and even introducing Proton Guns and Proton Knuckles (for real).

As I mentioned in the initial piece, the CGI is marginally worrisome, even though the trailer does look pretty damn cool.

Looking through these grabs, you can tell that 3-D was always on Feig’s mind, although it’s unclear if the film was actually shot in 3-D. Whatever the case, there’s enough CG action in this footage to prove that seeing it in 3-D could be an enhancement on the experience.

I guess we’ll find out come July 15th when Sony lets the spooks out all across New York.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
