If you follow New Mutant on Twitter. You'll see that they post really short videos almost every month to get people hyped. The video below combines some of these short videos with the trailer itself.
As you can see it all plays out like a fairly common horror movie. A really awesome one, because the people in the asylum have superpowers. Don't worry about Disney needing to advertise the movie, it will take over a year until the government approves the deal between Disney and Fox. So it is Fox who will be promoting this movie. As good and interesting as these clips and trailer seem to be, it's disappointing to see that we have not seen these Mutants use their powers. I know that there was a trailer shown in a Convention in Brasil that did show them using their powers and I hope it will be released online soon.
As a horror movie, New Mutants seems great. As a comic book movie, not so much. There is no internet buzz, no general excitement about this movie. If I wouldn't follow New Mutants on Twitter I would never have seen these cool clips, and their Tweeter page only has around 7.500 followers, for example IT as a successful horror movie has 148,000 followers and Deadpool as a comic book movie from the same studio has 717,000 thousand followers. Perhaps Fox are waiting until the hype for movies such as Star Wars and Black Panther to be over to promote this movie. It makes sense to promote it harder when it's the next comic book movie over the horizon.
But I think people are so hyped about X-Men and Mutants generally joining the MCU that this movie will fall through the cracks. I really hope not, I like these genre experimentation comic book movies and a comic book movie that is a horror movie sounds great. Are you excited about this movie?
