We love trailers. Trailers are how studios get us interested in an otherwise not-so-interesting movie. A good trailer leaves us wanting to see a move immediately, even if you know it will be bad. However, what we really love is Honest Trailers, a very cool YouTube show by Screen Junkies that gives you an honest look at what to expect from some of your favourite movies.
No ad to show here.
As the channel puts it:
“In a world full of movies and television, only one channel is keeping them honest — SCREEN JUNKIES! A channel so shameless, we’ll show you this trailer so you can share it with your friends.”
Yup, these trailers are so epic you can’t help but want to see more and more. So we’ve put together our favourite honest trailers with the help of some our friends. These trailers are so honest you might doubt your obsession with some of these movies. Yes Twihards, we are looking you.
