Has there ever been a movie that specifically, intentionally

Didn't that Adam Sandler movie end up with him as a superhero at the end?

I know when Audition was first reviewed in America, critics thought it was a Japanese drama/romance movie until half-way through. But I don't know how much of that misdirection was marketing.

I thought Fight Club was going to be more like Bloodsport when I went to see it.

Split

I thought A Beautiful Mind was going to be a spy thriller

I thought Prometheus was going to be a prequel to Alien.

Magic Magic was advertisement as a slasher film. Though it was really a psychological drama about a bitch on drugs.

That's closer to what I mean, then, that's cool. I did mean to watch that a while back, but yeah. More like that, but backwards. Like some dumb teen comedy that turns into a slasher.

Actually, it's a wonder that didn't happen in the early 2000's, considering how many fucking teen movies there were and that they still did slashers.

I think what you thinking of is genre-shift movies.

>>84120140
That sounds about right but somehow I've missed that existing. What are good examples?

That one dog movie where all the commercials were of a dream sequence and the actual movie was super dark

From Dusk Till Dawn
Sunshine
Miracle Mile

Kangaroo Jack
Bridge to Terabithia

Well that's just poor marketing

Seen the other ones but never heard of this. Sounds very interesting, thanks.

inb4 reddit, but I thought Cabin in the Woods was a legit horror movie when it came out. I mean it WAS, but still

Bridge to Terabithia was marketed as a shitty kids CGI fantasy movie but that was only a small scene where they are pretending and the rest of the movie is feels central.

Mulholland Drive seems like a romance/thriler movie but it's actually, ehh, not really.

I feel really sorry for whoever had to cut together a trailer for Mulholland Drive.

>>84121174
Sunshine was marketed as shit goes wrong in space, the vaguely horror element towards the end doesn't change that
If it was marketed as the next 2001 or something maybe

it was a good film anon, don't be afraid to like what you like, man

plus its fitting for the thread, too, as it was a big switch up from a normal teens-in-a-cabin slasher
