Brittany Murphy Cheats in the 'Across the Hall' Trailer
In February, Brittany Murphy signed on to star in the noir thriller Across the Hall, and now you can check out a trailer for the film above. It's supposed to be a thriller about a man, his fiancee, and his best friend, and it is, but there are also a whole lot of mixed messages thrown in for good measure.
While the plot seems like your typical love triangle -- girl cheats with lover's best friend, lover chooses to kill best friend and live happily ever after -- there's a whole slew of horror techniques that are either misleading or hinting at some big, supernatural twist. The hotel and the room across the hall are described as if they're filled with ghosts or other ghoulish things, instead of just a jealous fiance. Quick cuts merge with eerie voice-overs, but while some sort of big fright seems right around the corner, it never comes.
It's all a big mystery, but at least it looks interesting. The film is slated to hit theaters February 6, 2009.

(Page 1)2. Okay, am I the only one who thought the bellhop looked kinda silly lit from below like that? Sure, they're going for "hell-hop", but jeez, some subtlety, people?

3. Yeah I mean the whole thing looks uber stylized/art directed, but that can be fun sometimes.
