Okay, I've watched this trailer a couple of times and looked over some discussion on other websites, and I think I might know where this movie is going, at least in part.
What I think is happening is that this community of white people brainwashes and possibly lobotomizes black people to use as slaves. I'll detail my evidence for this & go into detail below:

1. Of the three black people seen in this town, two of them are in jobs that would be associated with slaves back during the heyday of slavery (namely groundskeeping and cleaning). None of these people seem happy, and one seems to shake off the brainwashing for a moment to tell the main character to

1. Of the three black people seen in this town, two of them are in jobs that would be associated with slaves back during the heyday of slavery (namely groundskeeping and cleaning). None of these people seem happy, and one seems to shake off the brainwashing for a moment to tell the main character to \"Get out,\" after seeing the flash on a phone camera go off, which along with the nosebleed points to some kind of mental alteration against the will of the black people affected.

2. The mother is a hypnotist, a role which, given how unrealistically effective hypnosis tends to be in fiction, could lead to brainwashing in conjunction with the repeated messages in the trailer; the father is shown getting doctor\'s equipment once the main character is trapped, and given the way the main character is strapped down, it wouldn\'t be far-fetched to suggest that brain surgery was the end result.

3. Growing from the first point, it\'s possible the brainwashing and lobotomization causes the enslaved black people to believe they are actually living in an era where slavery is commonplace, meaning the trance can be broken by modern technology; ergo, this could explain the \"Get out!\" man breaking out of the trance after seeing a smartphone.

4. In terms of the behaviour from the white characters, the scenario seems very reminiscent of a slave auction; under the guise of it being \"Bingo,\" the community seems to gather and hold an auction on who would get the main character as a slave once he was brainwashed, based on the large picture of the main character at the front of this group.

This may all be far off, and there\'s clearly much more social commentary regarding race relations in there (personally I think the girlfriend has to be in on it, but that\'s got little basis at the moment), but I feel this\'ll be some of the main plot points just based off of this first trailer. Thoughts?
