The Assistant. Seriously watch the trailer and then just make up a story it'll be better than waiting two hours for a plot.
A Cure For Wellness
A lot. The one that always comes to mind is Red Eye (2005). The trailer pulled a good switcheroo when I saw the trailer in theaters but the actual movie was meh. Specifically the version where the screen goes dark and Cillian's eye turns red.
2015 Macbeth, I thought it was going to be this dark, intense version of Macbeth and instead it was a weird arthouse piece that changed an important moment in the story.
Sisu. Super fun trailer, but most of the good parts of the movie are in there. Majority of the movie outside the trailer is quietly waiting and setting the mood. Still enjoyed the movie overall but expected more over the top hyper violence with a splash of comedy.
Machete
I'll probably take a hit for this but 2002's Adaptation. (Hell i'm old)
Watch the trailer for yourselves. It's gripping.

The movie was not gripping. It was just ok but that trailer was freaking amazing. Maybe what I needed was just a TEDTalk by Brian Cox and more Under Pressure by Queen. Instead I got about 4 times the Nicholas Cage than the recommended dose.
