Imagine if the marketing for this was us afraid for Abigail being kidnapped. To then in the movie twist it into her being the monster

@jcaashby3 Ай бұрын

Somehow someway I feel someone could have edited the trailer to still be GOOD and interesting without giving away that she is a vampire. When I saw the trailer I was interested but as soon as I saw literally what she was my interest dropped a lot!!

@JokerCrowe Ай бұрын

It's tricky though, because some people would probably be disappointed then, since they were expecting a thriller drama about a kidnapping, and not a monster movie. I think the best way to do it would be to show that there's something "wrong" with the situation, or Abagail, but not explicity say that she's a vampire. But then, I guess people might think it's an "exorcism" movie... Marketing movies is hard. But I still might check it out, despite knowing she's a vampire, so maybe the marketing did it right anyway?

She’s miscast in every movie. sick of the terrible writing. All men are treated like they are dumb and all the women are girl bosses and insufferable.

I wish studios would create/release two different trailers.

Yeah, name it like a Hidden trailer and a Reveal trailer or something? I'd love that idea! It'd bring us back to the early days of late 70s and early 80s teaser trailers, that pretty much revealed nothing but only built suspense instead. Like the teaser trailers for the original Alien and John Carpenter's The Thing. Super intriguing trailers that spoil nothing.

@johnsegura2139 24 күн бұрын

This is from my view, Abigail found a light of hope and realization from Joey that even though she's centuries old, deep down buried inside her is still a 10 year old girl who was turned by his own father and never got to experience what a normal child is nor be loved by a father as any father would normally do. That's why on the last clip where his father arrived who was about to munch on Joey but Abigail stood upfront and realized his daughter through her eyes that she was still a 10year old girl inside despite being immortal for more than centuries. Thus I could understand your sentiment how Abigail suddenly became goody goody because I feel like there're so many cut scenes that could've answered your sentiments as to how she became a last minute protagonist. For me though, as someone who's got a very high standard for movies and series, I'd give this movie an 8, probably because this is by far the only Vamp movie this 2024 but also the only vampire movie within the last 5years that has a story that would leave you intrigued on their vampire back story on how it all began and how it went. I hope this gets chance of a sequel if not a prequel.

As time has gone by my Outlook on spoilers has shifted. I used to not want spoilers, go in mostly blind, and let the movie unfold. But I have found lately that the anxiety or the suspense of worrying about certain plot points horse story lines to tracks from the overall experience of enjoying the movie. Often I will read a full synopsis before going to see a film just so I can not worry about those things and enjoy what the filmmakers have produced for me.

One of the best movie-going experiences I had was In Bruges. I went alone to the theatre not knowing what I wanted to see or even really what was playing. I saw the poster for this starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, and Ralph Fiennes that said "Shoot first, sightsee later" and that was the first I'd heard of the movie. Then Colin Farrell's opening monologue hits over a dark screen and ends with "It's in Belgium" and from that point on, I had a fantastic time.

I think it’s laziness and elitist. It doesn’t want to make you give them your hard earned money. It reals of Neopotism. No thanks. They used to be very vague in the trailers.

The movie was stuck in a difficult position because it would have been great if they didn't reveal the 'plot twist', but they knew it might not have sold tickets if people thought it was just another jump scare kidnap film. I can speak for myself and say I wouldn't have watched it had I not known the girl was a vampire. That would have been a shame because I would have missed experiencing one of the best films I have seen quite a while. The young actress put on one of the best performances I have seen in years.

I wish trailers weren’t so revealing, I agree with you on the point of the less you know the better the experience.

They said this about the movie "Prey" also, it was supposed to be advertised as an historical action movie with something mysterious happening, only revealing the "Predator" about 45 minutes into the movie. It would've been much better for the viewer, but how many people would've gone to see a historical action movie without the "Predator" involved.

@kennethbryant5819 Ай бұрын

That sounds made up. The predator aspects show up almost immediately. The ship is the opening credits.

This does open in my local AMC around my birthday so I'll be having fun on this birthday vacation weekend waching this, Spy Family: Code White and Civil War one day at a time. Actually, first seeing the trailer and I was already interested. Not gonna lie, I'm more surprised that that's the same actress who played Matilda in the Musical version on Netflix, which I liked that movie myself.

@97777777 Ай бұрын

What's interesting is I don't watch trailers so I don't get spoiled and watch reviews to see if I'll be interested in the movie, yet the review is what spoiled the movie.

People who wanna know about a movie before seeing the movie just wanna spoil it for everyone else. It’s best that no one knows what the movie is really about.

This is how I felt about watching From Dusk til Dawn in VHS for the first time. It was a bootleg copy and I have the expectation that it's a pulpy crime film and I was in for a pleasant surprise as the movie progresses forward.

Love your vids Chris but did anyone else feel like this review gave way too much away even though he didn't outright say explicit spoilers? Like he goes *in detail* about the plot, the individual characters and how they interact with each other, etc etc.

@kisumimakino Ай бұрын

I absolutely agree with the trailer thing, it takes away the fun of guessing the mystery behind and surprise of revelation! However it also is the trailer that pokes my inrerest to go into the theatre. I think there is a better way to put the trailer. Maybe hint it in a way that the identity / family background of this little girl is somehow doing with all the things go wrong, but not just straight up telling everyone she is a vampire. I will still buy it cause horror & suspense movies are totally up my ally. Anyway I still enjoyed it! There are some twists that I kinda see it but not see it coming 😂 I especially love how it gradually explores and reveals characters’ backstories and personalities. The mix between scare, gory and laughs is really good. The bloody scenes are fun and satisfying... (just personally I'm not that scared to this kind of graphics, doesn't mean that they are not brutal).

I wish I hadn’t seen the trailer so the twist could be more impactful but still would have watched it for the cast. Kevin Durand and Dan Stevens are always fantastic. Barrera and Newton are also growing on me. Newton moreso since her run in Supernatural
