The new trailer for Eli Roth's Death Wish, a remake of the 1974 Michael Winner film of the same name, has drawn a mixed response on social media.
Many are excited at the prospect of seeing lead Bruce Willis play a vengeful Chicago surgeon, who decides to take matters into his own hands after the murder of his wife (Elisabeth Shue) and brutal rape of his daughter (Camila Morrone), who is left in a coma.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, given horror fiend Roth's involvement, the film also promises a gory twist on the original: in this version, Willis's character Dr Paul Kersey is a surgeon, who will put his skills to macabre use when exacting his revenge.
For others, however, the trailer, which shows Willis become a vigilante after he is failed by law enforcement, has struck a sour note.
The author Chuck Wendig, known for writing Star Wars novels and comic books, was among those who expressed concern.
