The trailer for Christian Alvart’s Pandorum is now online. I’ve got a weakness for creepy space movies (as in they make me feel very, very small. Like little girl small), and this one certainly looks like it could offer up some serious scares. Then again, it’s also a genre very easily screwed up, and while the atmosphere of this thing looks promising, the word on it hasn’t been particularly encouraging. Here’s the plot synopsis to go along with the trailer above:

Two astronauts awaken in a hyper-sleep chamber aboard a seemingly abandoned spacecraft. It’s pitch black, they are disoriented, and the only sound is a low rumble and creak from the belly of the spacecraft. They can’t remember anything – who are they, what is their mission? The only way out of the chamber is a dark and narrow airshaft. Corporal Bower (Foster), the younger of the two, crawls inside, while the other, Lt. Payton (Quaid), stays behind for guidance on a radio transmitter. As Bower ventures deeper and deeper into the ship, he begins to uncover a terrifying reality. Slowly the spacecraft’s shocking and deadly secrets come unraveled, and the astronauts realize that the survival of mankind hinges on their actions.

Anybody game?
