I feel like everyone has had a movie partially spoiled by a trailer but I also feel like descriptions, movie posters, and even genre tags can be a give away and make a plot twist or scene less impactful.

One movie I vaguely remember watching without any context was the 2021 movie Oxygen. I enjoyed it but I feel like it would have been slightly more predictable if I had looked at the genre tags and that would have effected my enjoyment.

I feel like you need to have a pretty good sense of someone’s tastes to make a “trust me”-style recommendation like this.

      That was definitely a great recommendation for this. I had no idea what I was getting into. I think even if you asked me half way into the movie how it was going to end I wouldn’t have been able to guess it. I also thought it was really well shot and written.

        In the spirit of the thread, I won’t discuss it, but I’m glad you got to see it and it met expectations :)

        Glad you liked it and thanks for the tag.

        Edit: another one is Source Code (2011) - i don’t think it was mentioned in this thread.
