"However, sometimes the trailer is much better than the movie."

 

Sadly, this is so true.  I hate when that happens.

 

Against All Odds was one of the worst offenders.what a great, stylish,
interesting trailer.  Unfortunately, it was better than the movie.

The poster for the remake of Night of the Living Dead already reveals that
the main character (Tony Todd) will also change into a zombie eventually.

Trailers should be avoided as much as possible. However, sometimes the
trailer is much better than the movie.

the other night, i watched for the first time, KIND LADY.  ....with the
great ethel barrymore.

 

afterwards, i did a poster search.  boy, am i glad that i didn't read the
poster first.  the poster gives away the plot; the poster ruins the
development of the plot....; would have ruined the first 25minutes, or so.

 

poster link from bruce's site:

POSTERS SHOULD NOT TELL THE STORY!!!!!

 

agree?

 

of course, hitchcock's THE WRONG MAN does this in the title.
