What are some movies that are best experienced going in completely blind? (leminal.space)

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.

Cabin in the Woods

Tucker and Dale vs Evil

I had a friend tell me to watch Tucker and Dale and went in completely blind and I'm so glad I did. Such a hilarious movie, I'm sure the trailer would have ruined all the best one liners.

Why'd you list the same movie twice?

One has mermaids.

Something tells me you would enjoy Zombeavers.
