Way, way back before mp3s, CDs or cassettes, people used to listen to music on these magic things called "vinyl records." While this was a fine and dandy way to listen to big band music and jazz (save for the skips and pops), parents became afraid when they believed that rock 'n roll bands were using a technique called "Backmasking" to send satanic messages to their kids. Basically they would play records in reverse and pick up messages about Paul McCartney being dead. Now that same idea has been used to cool effect in the trailer for The Devil Inside.
Presumably to celebrate the Halloween holiday, if you go over to the movie's official website and watch the trailer in its entirety a strange thing happens when you reach the end. The whole thing rewinds and you watch the beginning of the trailer in reverse, which plays an eerie message. I'm not going to spoil it for you here, so you'll have to head over there and watch it for yourself. In the movie, set to be released this January, a young girl named Isabella Rossi (Fernanda Andrade) travels to Italy to visit her mother. When Isabella was younger, her mom was possessed by a demon and murdered three people during an exorcism. Wanting to better understand what her mother has been going through, she talks with priests and witnesses real exorcisms, but the truth may be more horrifying than she can possibly imagine.
