The new horror film The Apparition skirts around an obvious flaw in paranormal horror films: that some viewers just don't believe in ghosts (can something you don't believe in be scary?), by creating a world where the human mind itself creates the horrifying creatures. Check out the first trailer below.
The Apparition stars Ashley Greene (Breaking Dawn part 2) and Sebastian Stan (Gone) star as a couple who are being haunted by a terrifying presence unleashed by a mind experiment. The trailer does a great job of conveying the psychology of fear, a horror movie element that often takes a film to the next level of scary.
Another horror movie, Chernobyl Diaries, arrived in theaters today. The movie follows a group of "extreme tourists" who find themselves trapped at the site of one of the worst nuclear disasters in history.
The Apparition is directed by first-timer Todd Lincoln. Look for the movie in theaters August 24.
