Cutting together a half-decent trailer can go a long way toward getting people to give your movie a chance. So while based on the title and the low-rent cast, Mutant Chronicles doesn't promise much, the new trailer is at least entertaining, and promises that nice mix of fun, action, and swords! Lots of swords!

Just keep yourself from saying "Hey, Hellboy's in this, it'll probably be fun!" Because Ron Perlman was also in In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, and if you don't know how that one turned out, you're better off. Anyway, check out the trailer below, originally posted at IGN. Mutant Chronicles comes out April 24, in time to give you something to do between Watchmen and Star Trek.
