10 Dumb Movie Trailers That Ruined The Film's Ending

10. Quarantine (2008)

An English language remake of critically acclaimed Spanish found-footage horror REC, Quarantine follows a TV reporter assigned to a story about local firefighters.

After a brief tour of the station, the crew are called out to an apartment building where the other local authorities are trying to rescue a sick woman. When that woman turns out to be infected with a strange virus, however, the building is - you guessed it - quarantined, trapping the young journalist inside a huge house of horrors.

What the original did was prove that there was life left in the found-footage sub-genre of horror if done correctly, though John Erick Dowdle's re-imagining lacked a lot of the qualities that Spanish counterparts Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza brought to their film, namely the element of surprise.

It doesn't take an expert to tell you that horror films rely on suspense, though it's hard to get behind a character you already know is done for.

Quarantine's trailer starts well enough, including all the claustrophobia and violence you would expect from a zombie movie set entirely in one building, though it ruins the film completely by ending with protagonist Angela being dragged off helplessly into the darkness.
