John,

The previews that we saw showed things like a car being pulled into the house by a carpet tongue, kids going up to the front door and being knocked off the porch, a kid walking on the sidwalk and it being pushed up to the door. I didn't think the house looked scary based on the commercials, but that is just me.

Honestly the previews I saw didn't have the feel the actual movie has. It seemed more light hearted in the trailers. The actual movie is anything but light hearted, dealing with death and revenge.... It's definitely a mature subject matter. Not for younger kids.

I agree that it is definitely being mis-marketed and I think it would be good if the trailers reflected the actual vibe of the movie instead of playing it off like it's a funny cartoon.
