After watching this, I can see why people are pissed at the marketing.
It doesn't even hint at being a vampire movie until the big reveal about halfway through.
Well that's certainly a choice.

It needed some humor…
Instead of call her a vampire, they could have kept calling her a “god damn Dracula”.
Nic Cage should have been the father at the end.
Sounds like they were going for a From Dusk Till Dawn type sudden change of direction.
shareDid from Dusk til Dawn's marketing give away that mid movie change? I imagine it must have been tempting for the marketing people to mention Salma Hayek as a vampire.
shareInteresting question! I actually can't remember.
shareLOL. I found a trailer from the time and it absolutely gave away the fact that vampires show up at that bar they visit.
Trailers spoiling a movies plot is not new I guess.

Good ol' marketing!
shareI thought the blood dripping down her face on the poster might give it away.

Hmm... the trailer kinda gives it away. I don't see any probs with the marketing.
Civil war, on the other hand - that was a definite scam
