I know I’m stretching here but I’ve got to say, the Transformers teaser is one of the more frightening trailers I’ve seen in a long time. How sad is it that a giant robot toy tie-in can be this effective at building suspense when movies that actually attempt to creep you out aren’t up to the task. Maybe one reason is that this teaser isn’t just comprised of the best parts of the movie, but is a mini-narrative on its own, which allows it to reach a creepy crescendo that more fractured, quick-cutting trailers can’t match.
