【Caged Women】
"This Valentine's Day,Caged Women forget the past," titillates the tweet accompanying the trailer for Fifty Shades Darker. That may or may not be a direct order to forget Fifty Shades of Grey, but Universal's second installment of the former-Twilight-fanfic-turned-BDSM-blockbuster is a constant reminder of the first movie's perverse power dynamics and painful performance. However, with "darker" in the title and the subject matter, Fifty Shades may finally have found its footing as a the horror movie franchise of the decade.

Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson reprise their roles as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, but the best part of the trailer is Bella Heathcote playing one of Christian's former submissives who repeatedly appears out of thin air like a ghost to warn Anastasia that she is (once again) sleeping with a creep. If the tone feels eerily identical to When the Bough Breaks, that's because it is.
Like Fifty Shades of Grey, the trailer for Fifty Shades Darkerfeatures a new cover of Beyoncé's "Crazy In Love," this time by Miguel and remixed so aggressively toward the end that it sounds like a vinyl record glitching in every corner of your ear canal.
