"Cape Fear" trailer released.

Admittedly, I haven't seen the 1991 film by Martin Scorsese starring Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte and Jessica Lange.

So, I'm going into "Cape Fear" totally blind. That's certainly not an issue for me. I judge things as they come, and the preview released Tuesday is equal parts horrifying and electric.

Give the trailer for the upcoming psychological thriller a watch below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

This looks like it's going to be outstanding. The plot sounds captivating, it's clear that it's going to take a very heavy toll on the mind, and the cast is outrageously loaded.

Javier Bardem, Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson teaming up for a TV series is about as good as it can get. All three are legit A-list talents.

Add in the fact Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg are producing, and it's hard to imagine that "Cape Fear" won't be a must-watch series.

It really does feel like entertainment and television are going through a great moment and revival with all the options already out and upcoming.
