The first trailer and poster for the adaptation of Thomas Berger’s noir thriller Meeting Evil has gone online. If you’ve ever wanted to see Samuel L.

The movie itself doesn’t look terrible, but it certainly feels like straight-to-DVD fare. The acting is fine, but the trailer pretty much shows the entire movie and I wasn’t thrilled by the results.
Hit the jump to check the trailer out for yourself. Directed by Chris Fisher (S. Darko), the film also stars Leslie Bibb. Meeting Evil will be available VOD on March 30th and hits theaters on May 4th.

“Luke Wilson plays a real estate salesman who is sent into depressing after being fired from his job.” Do any of the reviewers on collider ever bother to proofread their work before posting? Honestly, most of you are writing at the level of an 8th grader.
You’re nagging is driving me to depressing. Why bother coming to this this sight if it bothers you so?
I kind of liked this movie better when it was called Lake View Terrace Training Day. What’s with the brother’s taking on these negative roles all the time?
