Forget the fact that this movie probably rules and that you've never heard of it despite the fact that it features Roy Scheider and was directed by William Friedkin. Forget that this trailer means there's an entire narrative version floating out in the world somewhere. Forget the killer seventies trailer throaty dub voice, and just bask in the truly brilliant construction of this thing. A series of completely unconnected images, most featuring guns or explosions, underneath a soundtrack that can only be the synth baby of John Carpenter and Goblin, while providing absolutely no information about the plot of the film at all. I could probably watch this shit all day. Now THAT's how you make a fucking trailer!
PS: Apparently it's also a remake of Clouzot's Wages of Fear.

The Guardian - 1990
Could it be? William Friedkin's finest movie (better than the Exorcist even)? Yes, yes it is. This movie has everything; Druids, babies, tree fucking, man fucking, mystery wolves... Everything. Except zombies or vampires or anything really more supernatural than Druids. But it rules, I swear it does.
