10 Horror Movie Trailers That Gave Away The Entire Plot

5. From Dusk 'Till Dawn

Quarantine movie ending
Miramax Pictures

From Dusk Till Dawn follows a pair of bank robbers who go on the run after one of them kills a bank clerk. To evade the police, the duo take a family hostage and force the father to drive them all across the Mexican border. After passing through, they hide out in a strip club, only to learn the residents are vampires.

What makes this discovery so mind-blowing is that the first half of the movie plays out like a straightforward action drama. There's no hint whatsoever the movie is going to take a supernatural turn. But at the 50-minute mark, vampires pop up and the rest of the movie turns into an undead gorefest.

Of course, anyone who caught any clips of the movie knew what was coming. Not only does the teaser show all sorts of vampiric monsters, it spoils the best shots, kills, and one-liners. If you keep your eyes peeled, you can see one shot depicting several characters escaping from the strip club, during the day... proving that they survived the night. So, not only does the trailer ruin the big surprise, it spoils who made it out alive.
