There is something to be said for the element of surprise. I made the choice to pass on the Unfriended press screening last week because my wife wanted to see it and it was just more advantageous for everyone to just get a babysitter for a Thursday night showing at my local Regal Cinema. If you’ve read my early Friday morning review of the film, you know that my wife and I were quite impressed with Unfriended, but I digress. The biggest treat that night wasn’t the time allotted to actually eat out together (as opposed to spending that hour driving down to Hollywood for a press screening) or even the unexpected quality of Unfriended. No, the biggest kick I got Thursday night came from the last trailer. It was preceded by the usual horror trailers, the Poltergeist remake, Sinister 2, The Vatican Tapes, etc. But the last one, well it didn’t seem immediately familiar. It was about two young kids that visit their grandparents’ place for the weekend under spooky circumstances. It wasn’t until I spotted Kathryn Hahn as the mother that I realized what was up. With no notice or fanfare, Universal/Comcast Corp. had just dropped the first trailer the movie I am most looking forward to this year, M. Night Shyamalan’s would-be comeback project The Visit. - Source
