What movie benefits SO much from going in blind that it’s not as worth watching if you’ve read a synopsis?

Certain movies are just as great of an experience even if you’ve had it spoiled; if you already knew Arnold was the good terminator the first time you watched T2, it’s still top-tier entertainment. Same for the original Matrix, etc.

What movies are the opposite: The audience starting with a blank slate is 100% necessary?

A recent example would be Barbarian. Having absolutely no idea what comes next is what makes that movie such a ride.
