10 Horror Movie Trailers That Gave Away The Entire Plot
3. Retreat
In Carl Tibbets' thriller, Retreat, Martin and Kate are a couple who've grown distant after suffering a miscarriage. Hoping to rekindle their marriage, the pair journey to an island and settle in a remote cottage. While there, they discover a mysterious man who reveals a terrifying secret that may very well change the world forever.
On paper, Retreat sounds like it ticks all the right boxes. It has an intriguing premise and a wonderful cast including Cillian Murphy, Thandiwe Newton, and Jamie Bell. But if you were thinking about checking the film out, you have to avoid the teaser at all costs. It doesn't just show the ending or the twist. It's the worst kind of trailer since it spoils the entire movie from start to finish.
Retreat's trailer is so good at covering every facet of the story, it feels like it was strategically designed to ruin the movie. If you watch it, congratulations, you've basically seen the whole thing. Retreat isn't great but if you're curious what happens, check out the preview and save yourself two hours.
