The first official trailer for Academy Award-Winning director Alejandro G. Iñárritu's The Revenant, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy, has been released. Right away, you can easily tell it is an Iñárritu film because his way of shooting is unlike anyone else. The way he follows his actors with the camera makes it feel as if the viewer is right there walking alongside the characters and that is a very unique quality. The music that he uses in this trailer is also reminiscent to that of Birdman, the film that won him the Academy Award last year. It is also interesting to note the film was made using only natural lighting, which is a very difficult thing to do as it makes it much more difficult to manipulate shadows and the light is always unpredictable. The trailer itself doesn't tell us much of the story, but teasers rarely do that. Nonetheless, this is still one of the best trailers I have seen all year. Even though there is not much dialogue in this teaser, there is still great intensity to every scene shown. Will this be the role that finally gives DiCaprio his first Oscar? Only time will tell, but his chances are looking good. The Revenant is scheduled for a limited release on December 25, 2015 followed by a wide release on January 8, 2016.

Growing up, my parents never really censored what my brothers and I saw on TV or at the movies. As a result, I was exposed to many of the great horror films at an extremely young age. Slashers were a constant in our home. Despite how much they scared me, they also fascinated me. Slashers were the norm for...
