I have chosen the two films "The Descent" and "The Hills Have Eyes", which are both Horror movies, one from 2005 and the other from 2006. The Descent is a 2005 horror film about a group of friends who go to explore a deep cave in the mountains. When the expedition is about three kilometers underground, a rock collapses and blocks the access tunnel, trapping the group inside the cave. With limited supplies, they try to find a way out, but sooner they face a savage breed of predators The hills have eyes is a 2006 horror film about how a family, whilst traveling in a trailer to California through the New Mexico Desert, is misled by the owner of an isolated gas station and the car crashes and collides with a rock with wrecks the car. Along the night and on the next day, they are attacked by a group of deformed cannibals, created by the atmospheric nuclear tests conducted by USA from 1945 to 1962 in that spot.

Both films start the trailer by having a slow paced storyline explain the basics and foundations of the film, for example in the descent trailer it explains why the group of friends are there and what they are doing, and in the trailer for the hills have eyes its explains what the family are doing and how they get misled aswell as why there are deformed cannibals there.
