That is in fact the poster. That was the image used in the trailers, as well, and it's impressive at how blatant it is. Also, the movie is a shot-for-shot remake of a spanish movie called Rec, so if you knew that, you knew how it ended, anyway.

Ah, Women In Refridgerators. Now THAT is a term I haven't seen in a minute. Yeah, for those that don't know the story, it's literally named after a comic where the hero's wife is killed off-screen, and is stuffed into a fridge. It's absurd, and its now used to describe women who are killed off unceremoniously to "heighten the tension", as if there aren't a hundred different ways they could do that. Gotta love writers, sometimes.

I haven't seen either movie (I was aware though that Quarantine was just a remake that doesn't feel necessary at all) but at face value I don't see the poster as being spoilery. It's just of a woman screaming presumably being grabbed by something, but it doesn't really tell me if she's going to die or whatever. Although, the taglines do come off as giving away that she and no one else will live, and if that is what happens then the image choice is redundant.


As for the term, I only ever saw it for the first time around discussion about TLoU 2 prior to its release, and I've never seen it since. LOL

Well, you'd be surprised, then, Moony. Because the term is common enough to have its own Wikipedia page. And yes, that is just as insane as it sounds. It's up there with "Jumping the Shark" (referring to an event in a piece of media that is so beyond the pale, the media in question never recovers) in media discourse. It's legit an important term to know in such discussions, especially when we're talking about empowering female characters. Thanks, Gail Simone, famed writer of Wonder Woman (not the original, obviously, but she's the longest-running female writer for that character).

Okay this has to be a comedy movie of some sort right? You can't just drop a second trailer that starts with child Jack Black saying "as a child I yearned for the mines" and not be a self-aware comedy to some extent. XD
