This week’s trailer took storytelling in four different directions: a bunker masking emotional cracks; a haunted attraction hiding a disturbing mystery; the emotional wear-down of Alzheimer’s; and a high-stakes survival story in the ocean.

Here are some of the biggest trailers released this week in movies and TV.
