Most Misleading Films

Cabin in the woods.
From the trailer it looks like a regular slasher/horror with teenagers trapped in a haunted cabin or something similar... the trailer is constructed in a way so the movie looks scary (well, scary-ish, it looks like a dumb slasher). This is why I avoided this for a while after it was released, I thought I'd see nothing new.
Boy is this misleading. The movie itself is more a comedy, a parody of many horror/sf/popculture cliches. I enjoyed it very much but I know several people that were very disappointed as they were expecting something completely different.
