Every film fan loves a good trailer. They can be the highlight of a disappointing cinema outing, and the best way to kill an otherwise dull lunch hour in front of the computer. Whether it’s a titillating teaser trailer or crammed full of split second drama and action, we love a good trailer. But we HATE a bad trailer. Why oh why do they let us in on a film’s biggest secrets and important twists before we’ve had the chance to look away? Here’s a look at some of the best, or rather worst, recent examples.

Mad mad mad mad mad mad mad mad mad.

She will play Princess Margaret in new chick flick period drama. Bet you didn’t see that one coming!

‘House’ star ends eight year marriage to Italian prince.

This Indian drama deals with love and loss without the help of a Bollywood soundtrack. Whilst the tensions between British and Indian culture are interesting, some poor performances and overly sentimental flashbacks result in a grief that seems staged.
