Trailer roundup: TO JENNIFER, HAMMER OF THE GODS, and V/H/S 2!

Here's a trio of trailers to start your afternoon off right! First up is the latest indie film directed by James Cullen Bressack (MY PURE JOY; HATE CRIME) called TO JENNIFER. This one revolves around a guy named Joey who thinks that his girlfriend of two years (the titular Jennifer) is cheating on him. To prove this, he and his cousin Steven take a road trip to film a video diary that is supposed to culminate in Jennifer getting caught in the act, but most likely ends in disaster since this is a found footage film.

Filmed entirely on an iPhone5, TO JENNIFER is going to eventually hit DVD but will mainly find its audience via iTunes and Zoovision. The official digital release date has yet to be announced, so while you wait on that info, why not give the trailer a look below?


Yep, things most definitely do not go well for Joey if the search for his girlfriend brings him to a crime scene....

Next up is a new Viking epic called HAMMER OF THE GODS coming to us from Magnet Releasing. Set in Viking Britain in 871 AD, the film follows Steinar (Charlie Bewley), a young viking warrior that is sent by his father, the king, on a quest. His mission? To find his estranged brother, who was banished from the kingdom many years before. Steinar’s epic journey across terrifyingly hostile territory gradually sees him emerge as the man his father wants him to be – the ruthless and unforgiving successor to his throne!


Looks watchable but it is so predictable and cliched. Steinar is not on the way to find his bro to make him a king; he's obviously been tasked to go on a quest and kill his crazy bro to become king himself. Plus all the Vikings naturally speak with a bit of an English accent... really makes me pine for the alleged Viking film Mel Gibson is working on. It doesn't look bad, but I'm worried that 90% of the gore will be CGI.

HAMMER OF THE GODS hits Video On Demand & iTunes on May 30th; look for it at select theaters on July 5th!

Finally, here's a trailer that some of you have probably been eagerly anticipating: It's the red band trailer for V/H/S 2 (formerly S/V/H/S)! I STILL haven't watched the first one, but now it looks like I should because this looks pretty bad ass! Give the new red band trailer a quick glance below.


Seriously, this looks really cool, though it's a bit more polished than you'd expect a found-footage anthology shot on "VHS" to be. Looks like we get some crazy suicidal Asians, alien abductions, doggy-cam point of view shots, murders, and monsters, so I'm down with this! Also, a really solid group of indie horror directors collaborated on this, so I have elevated expectations for this new anthology.

V/H/S 2 comes to iTunes & Video on Demand on June 6th (the Vault's 13th anniversary! Yay!) and will screen in select theaters on July 12th!
