Is it just me, or is the trailer for "The Strangers" pretty damn scary?

Granted, I've been fooled by good trailers before, but this trailer seems pretty scary to me...

Sorry, I can't link to the trailer, as video is forbidden here at work.

1. Yeah, but I just know I'll be disappointed...

Sigh.

2. The last trailer I saw that was really scary

Was the first trailer to the movie "The Descent" - it created a very dark and claustrophobic feel, I thought.

But, the next trailer sucked so bad and the reviews were pretty bad as well, so I never went to see it.

3. It's the masks

Masks are always scary.

Hate to sound like an old fuddy-duddy, but something about this movie has me very concerned that it will inspire copycat murders in real life. It's obvious from the trailer that three murderers pick on a couple for no reason, probably to see if they can get away with it. I hate to think what sort of ideas it might give killer-wannabes out there. On the other hand, this sort of thing has been going on in the movies since "A Clockwork Orange" if not earlier, so perhaps it's foolish to think a movie might inspire someone to do something they wouldn't anyway.
