Superheroes Vs. Saw? All Right…
This is the trailer for Vs., an indie superhero flick from the guy who directed the amazing-looking The FP. This… this doesn’t look quite so amazing, frankly, but there’s something to be said for a movie about people trying to stop a Jigsaw-from-Saw-like killer as opposed to just watching people graphically die in his traps. Plus, I very much appreciate any superhero movie with the balls to put the heroes in spandex instead of over-designed leather ensembles. Thanks to MacDuff for the tip. (Via First Showing)
