Blood Simple remake trailer online
Filmstalker — ... . Blood Simple was a strong and intelligent thriller that had a really stylistic turn to it, and yes, there were some comedic elements to it but they were adult and kept very much in tone with the film. Here I it seems they've been pulled right out and made almost slapstick. It's a confusing trailer from Sina through Twitch and RowThree , apologies there are no direct links for either of the source articles, and it's right here for you to have a look at and attempt some sense from. Good luck there.
