When trailer music goes bad
I've been trying to resist posting about the horrific second Red Ridding Hood trailer. Now, I know in the past I've talked about how the right choice of music in a trailer can make the trailer. The example I've cited before was the use of "The Day The World Went Away" by Nine Inch Nails in the Terminator: Salvation trailer. So you understand, given my love of NIN, how it pains me to witness its abhorrent use in Red Ridding Hood. The music selection in the first trailer, especially the use of Soulsavers as the opener, was well done. This one it's a hot mess. It turns the movie from feeling like a thriller into a campy mess. It completely destroys the tone. It left me with the same bitter taste in my mouth as when I watch a trailer that uses yet another Clint Mansell or John Murphy score.
