The trailer flaunts horror conventions in a knowing way (which may account for the comic interpretation by some viewers) but I find it very effective.
Seeing Lucy on the rooftop, looking out over the crime scene, reminds me of Alice Sebold's brilliant novel The Lovely Bones, written from the perspective of a murdered girl.
Oh now that you mention it I'm also getting the same vibes! And now I really want to read The Lovely Bones again.

(Also, 500th post!)

The beales front door gate got loads of shots in the Episodes where Ian found out. Significant.

Thanks for reminding me of The Lovely Bones. I'm sure that was the inspiration for that trailer.

Oh christ, it's a trailer... not meant to be taken seriously in the slightest. For the record, I found it more on the comedic side than the scary side but it didn't take away from the impact.
Really? It's a trailer? I didn't know that, thanks for clearing that up...

Seriously though, why is it some people seem to get annoyed when discussion doesn't fit their view? I just don't see the need for your first sentence, we all know it's a trailer, but surely as fans we should be able to voice our opinions??

It's when those opinions become a bit too serious relative to the weight of the discussion that worries me. And let's not be pedantic about my word choices, Sey, my post was obviously meant in a flippant tone so the fact that I'm stating the obvious is apparent.

Of course you can, Sey, but then again we also have the right to question criticism of something when it clearly appears to be taken out of contact. The trailer is a stylized promo for the show, it's not an actual episode.

I have searched through the entire thread and can't find anyone who thought it was an episode?

Was it supposed to be scary or dark comedy? My aunt and I were ending ourselves. Was it supposed to be just the suspects? I am confused because Mick and Linda were the only ones not on the list there?
Kat and Alfie and Roxy were in the trailer and they are not suspects

Slightly different version with some different angles:

Jane, Ben and Jay (and Jane's car), Whitney.

No Max, no Abi, no Denise.

Max and Abi are the red herring. Jane, Ben and Jay are the bluff. Denise and Lee could've stopped it. Whitney is the culprit.

It's definitely very interesting that of all the Beales, Jane is the one with all of the focus.
