This Trailer Took the Meaning of Catfish to a Whole Other Level
The trailer for Catfish from 2010 gives false pretenses to potential viewers. It tries to present the movie as a horror film when it is anything but that. The footage of the supposed “horrifying” scenes is the scariest thing about this whole ordeal – which says a lot. In just the span of a minute, we’re able to meet the protagonists (two brothers) and learn that one entered an online relationship with somebody he’s never met in person.
The trailer for the new movie “Catfish” looks promising, with two brothers setting out to meet a mystery woman. However, as the trailer progresses, it takes on a more sinister tone, with scary quotes from critics hinting at a surprise ending. It turns out that the movie is not a horror film after all – it’s a documentary. Quite the catfish situation!
