Some excellent choices! Dead Alive is such an out there movie, too. Most Jackson fans would be shocked. Heavenly Creatures would probably unnerve them as well.
Horror is my beloved thing as well. And talking bout posters, Asian horrors are truly one of the best. Check this, this, this and this then tell me what you think.
HEAVENLY CREATURES, which Alex mentions, was one of my favourite movies when I was a young teenager. A truly disturbing movie, which basically brought Kate Winslet to the world stage.
Looking forward to your Movie Dirty Dozen on Monday!
Alex, glad you liked most of the posters I chose for this top list;)
"Dead Alive" is a totally crazy gorefest! It was one of my favorite horror flicks when I was a kid and it's still now :)
Alex, I haven't forgotten about your Dirty Dozen Blogfest and I'll post my 12 ALL TIME FAVORITE FILMS tomorrow ;)
Jaccsy, love the first poster and the Phobia ones! I agree they're one of the better, not sure if one of the best though.
Dezz, I loved Heavenly Creatures, too. I've seen it twice ;) Now please back to the topic and share with us, if you have any favorite posters from this genre. :)
well, I didn't comment on the above posters, because you know how I feel about horror movies using children in inappropriate ways.
But when it comes to horrors I guess THE CELL had some amazing posters, showing Jennifer Lopez in stunning costumes. It even inspired one of Madonnas greatest video BEDTIME STORIES (with the flying cubes with circular inset monitors).
I know, Dezz, I know...
The Cell is undeniable visual splendor but its posters aren't that impressive. They had to use their imagination a bit more, just like Tarsem did with the movie ;)
they had some great adds and promos for the movie, especially in the foreign magazines, but you can't see those on the Internet. I remember some of those adds for THE CELL in some Australian magazines I was buying very vividly. But when it comes to Tarsem's THE FALL, I admit that movie could've used some better posters or more diverse ones.
The official poster was pretty awful. The had to pick one of those adds you talk about. This film definitely deserved a much better poster. I somehow liked "The Fall"'s poster... the colors were amazing and I liked the idea of using red flower for the lips and butterfly for the nose :)
yes, the one you're talking about was amazing and very suggestive, but I haven't seen any others for THE FALL,and I wish they had posters for all the magical characters appearing in the movie - the warriors, the princesses...
Haven't seen any others "Fall" posters either. Yes, the characters were magical. The movie... not that much.
