I’m at a loss for words.

The first poster for Shutter, which you can see above, got some nice notices from some parts. I myself find the idea behind the poster appealing, and the final image does give out a certain creepy vibe. It also connects perfectly with the film’s story, which involves ghostly images appearing in common photographs.
And yet, I [...]

Ok, now this is interesting. Via Shock Till You Drop and JoBlo we have two posters for the Ruins. Both quite similar, but in one we have a hand coming out of the ground and in the other we have a human head.[...]

ShockTillYouDrop has a look at the poster for Book of Blood made for the Berlin film festival. I like the idea of it. The Books of Blood were a series of books written by Clive Baker composed of several horror short stories. The very first story in the first book is about a man that [...]

Zombies are awesome. Cowgirl in a bikini? Also awesome. Samurai swords? Even more awesome. So a poster for a movie that combines all those things has to be almost incomprehensibly awesome, right?

As you can see above, that poster turns out to be rather dull. That image would probably make for a fine cover photo for [...]

For such low key movie (from a marketing push and budget perspective) Funny Games sure has had a lot of posters. Three might not seem like much, but this is the type of film that I would expect to normally have just one US poster.
And what is more interesting, the third poster is very [...]

Ok, so here are a couple of horror movie posters that I’m not too fond of.

First, the poster for the remake of Prom Night, which goes for the classic “girl in distress close-up.” Now, you can do some interesting posters with that basic concept, but this is not one of them. For starters, by cutting [...]

Although there were a fair number of horror movies released during 2007, there was a definite lack of creative and economic success. Still, there were a few posters worth remembering.
Back to the Grindhouse

Looming large over all other 07 horror movies was Grindhouse, the Tarantino/Rodriguez collaboration that became a favorite topic of Internet conversation. Unfortunately all [...]

Diary of the Dead is the newest zombie film from the genre’s master George Romero. One big difference between this film and Romero’s previous efforts is the use of handheld cameras operated by the character’s to tell the story, a style similar to the one used in Blair Witch and, more recently, in Cloverfield. The [...]

I really liked the very creepy first poster for Midnight Meat Train, but I guess they thought that having a bunch of bloody hooks in a subway train was too gory. Or perhaps too literal an interpretation of the title (although I must remind people that no actual meat [...]
