Welcome back to another edition of The Preview Review, where we attempt to unmask beautiful previews hiding terrible films.  This week, we take a look at some upcoming movies through four newly released commercials trailers.  Within them we’ll see some present-day vampire action, truly demented unconditional love in documentary form, and two stories about the unbreakable friendship amongst a group of girls (guess which of the two won’t suck!).

Get all the latest trailer reviews after the jump.
