Here are some trailers that caught our eye this week…
Until Dawn
Sony Pictures Entertainment
Trailer Agency: MOCEAN
The trailer for Until Dawn is nothing short of a spine-chilling masterpiece. It teases a wickedly twisted story of teens who stumble upon a house from hell. Time rewinds each night, unleashing grotesque, nightmare-inducing monsters that murder the young people in increasingly horrific ways. Seriously, who even dreams up this stuff?
This trailer doesn’t just scare you—it haunts you with razor-sharp editing, great sound design and innovative graphics. The storytelling grabs you and refuses to let go. Every beat keeps your pulse racing, your heart pounding—and your popcorn flying.
This one drops on April 25. That’s the day you’ll face your fears.
A Working Man
Amazon MGM Studios
Trailer Agency: AV Squad
Jason Statham is back to save the day in a gripping thriller about a man with extraordinary skills who chooses to live an unassuming life—until he’s pulled back into action to take down a sex trafficking ring.
The trailer builds both story and character, hooking you instantly and making you root for the vigilante from the start. The rhythmic, syncopated editing set to Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth” keeps the energy high, matching the intensity of the story. Meanwhile, the glowing graphics boast a stylish, modern flair that enhances the vibe.
A Working Man hits theaters on March 28.
Surviving Black Hawk Down
Netflix
Trailer Agency: Wild Card Creative Group
The story that inspired Ridley Scott’s classic gets the docuseries treatment, and the trailer combines powerful storytelling with stunning visuals.
A haunting music cue adds poignancy to this dark tale, while edgy editing and synchronized match cuts keep the tension palpable. By weaving together perspectives from multiple POVs, the promo creates a compelling and thought-provoking experience that stays with you.
Surviving Black Hawk Down begins streaming on Feb. 10.
Mickey 17
Warner Bros. Pictures
Trailer Agency: Major Major
Bong Joon Ho’s latest visionary film stars Robert Pattinson as a man who volunteers for a futuristic government experiment where he dies daily, only to be replaced by a new version of himself.
Despite that twisted premise, the trailer is surprisingly playful and captivating. The inspired choice of The Animals’ “It’s My Life” energizes an already razor-sharp cut. The clever copywriting hits every note, and the narration makes you wonder what comes next.
Bong Joon Ho’s storytelling and this dynamic promo will have audiences counting down the days until Mickey 17 arrives in theaters on March 7.
The Monkey (Red Band Trailer)
NEON
The chilling trailer for The Monkey is drenched in blood and packed with wildly gruesome deaths—all at the hands of a sinister toy simian. Based on a story by horror master Stephen King and brought to life by Oz Perkins (Longlegs), this film follows the haunting tale of a murderous plaything that terrorized a pair of twin brothers in their childhood—only to return 25 years later to wreak more havoc.
From the opening frame, the clip below grips you with menacing graphics, pulling you into its dark world. The expert editing and pacing deliver two minutes of pure terror. But the boldest choice is holding the music cue for the finale. When it finally hits, your entire body pulses with dread and adrenaline.
The nightmare begins when The Monkey hits theaters on Feb. 21.
