14 Movie Trailers That Spoiled Awesome Plot Twists

13. From Dusk Till Dawn

Robert Rodriguez's 1996 action-horror cult classic is very much a film of two halves, beginning as a fairly grounded, "realistic" crime thriller about two outlaws (George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino) on the run, before transforming into a full-on vampire flick at the mid-way point.

It's a brilliant surprise if you were lucky enough to watch the movie without being spoiled by the film's trailers, which wantonly gave the vampire reveal away like it was nothing.

Considering the criminals and their hostages don't even arrive at the strip club where all the mayhem kicks off until the 45-minute mark, and the vampires don't make themselves known until an hour of this 108-minute film is over, it definitely crosses the threshold of acceptable spoiling.

You can certainly argue that the movie's posters and other marketing materials don't really make much of an attempt to conceal the reveal either, but given how brilliantly jolting the tonal shift is, the entire marketing strategy should've played things a little more coy.

One can assume giving this twist away was a brazen attempt to strengthen the film's box office potential, but it still only barely recouped its $19 million budget. Oops.
