      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
      @JokerCrowe Месяц назад +22

      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?

I’m glad barbarian did the trailers how it did because watching that movie in theaters was some of the most fun I’ve had in a long time watching a horror movie and a lot of it is because I had no idea where the movie was going due to the trailers revealing so little.

      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.

    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.

    For a blind person when we come across a trailer like this, it’s actually a good thing they marketed it this way. My eyes don’t work so I can’t see what is going on on the screen around me so when a trailer comes on that doesn’t tell you anything it’s like OK. What is this? That said I’ve been looking forward to this movie since I heard about it. And I wanna go see it with my aunt.

    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.

  • @vincedude0458

    This movie was so much fun. Probably won't appeal to everyone though. The trailer definitely spoiled the "surprise", but I still enjoyed it. I would have enjoyed it a little more if I didn't see the trailer. I agree with you that some trailers, like Barbarian, are smart enough to give you enough not to spoil it. My advice: if there's a horror movie you're anxious to see in theaters based on buzz, word of mouth, ect,...avoid the trailers/reviews, take a chance, and go see it. Hopefully you'll enjoy something about it. Remember...not all horror movies are created equal. You're gonna see some great ones like the recent Late Night With the Devil...and some bad ones like The Nun 🤣. I did watch some early teaser trailers on RUclips for the new upcoming horror movie Longlegs because I couldn't help myself, and luckily there isn't too much revealed. However, one of the trailers before I watched Abigail in the theater was a longer trailer for Longlegs. I was like "NOPE! UH-UH!" and I just kept my head down the whole time 🤣. I'm hoping that movie is good. It kinda has a creepy Sinister/Se7en vibe to it. Here's to a continued great 2024 for horror fans...CHEERS! 👻😈💀

  • @Innermeismyenemy
    @Innermeismyenemy 23 дня назад

    I imagine if more PR teams followed the lead of No One will save you, and Nope it would benefit the movie more. We knew the trope of the monster, but the subversion and how they handled it, made the movie that much more interesting. It's like seeing a haunted house versus walking through one. You know something of what you will experience, but only when you go through it and see everyone's reactions, do you really enjoy it.

  • @BoinkrNanis

    Ayo! When I saw the trailer my initial thought was "why did they show she was a vampire at all? That just sort of ruined the movie!" like, yup. I dont wanna pay to go see a movie I know whats going to happen like 30 minutes in. Ive noticed lately trailers are giving to much away that it either says that 1, there arnt any decent people working in the industry with any real experience in their jobs, or 2, these studios do not have faith in their projects or trust in the audience.

      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. Often the preview was narrated. People were more motivated to go the movies because movies were much better and there were no other options.

    Kevin Durand always delivers. He can be comedic, he can be intimidating, he can be sleazy, he can be sympathetic. Just a chameleon of an actor who doesn't get enough recognition. Maybe he's selective with his roles, idk. But he is definitely one of the top underrated performers of the last 20 years.

  • @HermeticDan

    You are very right about the marketing/trailer aspect and the suspense/surprise element. I walked into a cinema in Vegas in 1999, knowing nothing about the movie. It was one of the most intense movie experiences I ever had and the rest of Vegas was mwoah in comparison. After that the movie came out in the Netherlands , where I live and everybody knew what it was about and there was a surprise at the ending. And everybody bragged how they saw the ending coming and laughed at me, being so naive. I always was sure I had the better movie experience.
    Of course the movie was the Sixth Sense.

    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.

    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).
