Mother Says Turn It Down

If you haven't seen the trailer for the new horror/thriller movie, "The Stepfather," you are truly missing out on a phenomenal film trailer. Not only does the trailer contain ridiculously attractive chicks and TERROR, it contains possibly the single greatest line in the history of trailers.

This under appreciated gem of a teaser was brought to my attention by Eileen Daley, who shared such a visual masterpiece in hopes of endearing me to want to see said film. Upon watching the trailer, I thought to myself, "This is a very high production joke trailer." True to the horrific genre of the film, I soon learned that the movie was real. The line that made me knew it was my destiny to see the movie with her was a very special moment in the trailer.

The youngest son of the family is playing Playstation 3 innocently. The only crime he was guilty of was perhaps exercising the speakers of his television slightly too excessively. Maybe the boy was merely appreciating the audio design of a game he loved, but nonetheless, his mother called out from the kitchen (of course), "John, turn that down." Almost immediately, his malicious step father lunges at him, grabs and crushes his controller ($50 killed), and barks, "Mother said TURN IT DOWN!" Amidst the horror of experiencing such a scene, I giggled quite profusely at the intensity of controlling the decibels of a video game.

Nonetheless, Eileen won tickets to see the Stepfather at the Arclight theater in Los Angeles this Thursday at midnight. The most horrifying thing about this movie is that after it finishes, we have to drive back to Orange, wait until 4:45 and then drive back to L.A. for a 12 hour day of filming. Although the circumstances will contain fewer buzzsaws, scantily clad bimbas (female bimbo), and murderous stepfathers, I believe that my morning and day after will be much more terrifying than this movie. God help us all.
