Ok,
hands up everyone who gets annoyed by the back of video boxes
that reveal key plot points? Yup quite a few hands there.
Bit
of a nuisance if this is your first time in conatct with the
movie and didn't manage to catch it at the cinema. Take The
Matrix for example, the back of the box reveals what the Matrix
is!
Now
stop me if I'm incorrect but isn't that one of the reasons
to watch the movie, to find out what it is about?
Take
Tremors as well , I have seen thsi movie before but just happened
to glance at it in a bargain bin and what's there on the back
of the box "Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward lead a small group
of people to safety". Imagine if you were watching the
movie and halfway through, right where the group is in peril,
you suddenly remembered the quote on the back of the box.
Talk about ruining the ending.
Take
The Faculty as well, the box tells us what it is that is killing
the kids, but it's at least halfway through the movie before
that is revealed.
And
can you imagine how much of an annoyance it would have been
if The Sixth Sense had published it's twist on the back of
the box, there wouldn't have been any reason to watch that
at all!
