I think Barbarian is a fantastic example of how hiding a major twist element can result in incredible word of mouth. It just takes a good movie and a little faith to pull it off.

they don’t make trailers the way they used to anymore. remember when it had that one voice. it was always the same guy lol. i think this new tactic is giving into brain rot.

I don't think companion is the same case as abigail. in companion, it's said in the first 10-15 minutes it's shown that iris is a robot, but even before that, (1/2)

the marketing for nosferatu was so good. seeing orloks reveal in the theatres was so cool especially not seeing anything beforehand.

the first trailer I saw for companion was the table scene with the candle and I was intrigued, saw the spolier trailer two days before going to an early screening and it pmo so bad 😫

I don't watch trailers anymore exactly because of this. But now they do those 5 second teasers and it's even harder to avoid those spoilers.

Abigail would have been SO much better without the spoiler

Esp when you can tell that the dialogue for Companion was filllllled with foreshadowing jabs. So disappointing

Abigail is tough. People who would go see it as a kidnapping thriller would hate the twist. But people who enjoy vampire horror would love to be surprised, but would they go see a thriller?

I think this is why I have no interest in watching movies, I feel like I already know what’ll happen and don’t feel the need to watch it immediately

It wasn’t quite as bad as Abigail, but still such a bummer. The teaser was perfect and then the trailer dropped the ball

this is why i absolutely loved the longlegs teaser. there was literally nothing that spoiled it, but it kept that eerie feeling to it

because a lot of people don’t go to movies anymore if they don’t know exactly what it’s about.

I agree but it can be so frustrating when an initial trailer or piece of marketing is so perfect (as with the first trailer for Companion) and then you see a second one that completely ruins it

There’s also a second twist on companion that’s obvious immediately because of the first twist being revealed in the trailer 😭

(I work in film) I’m ngl I liked the spoiler bc there’s so many plot twists in the film that the initial spoiler felt like being in on a scheme and helped the carry the other twists 4 me personally
