Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D Review: Is there really a need for a trailer to sell the film? It’s already got a built-in audience. And with this poster, that viewer base isn’t likely to increase in size. It’s just…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: There are some interesting elements in the poster. Namely, everything below Lucy Liu’s picture. Admittedly, this is to sell an otherwise niche film. However, Liu’s image does little to increase the poster’s aesthetic…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: With a tagline like "The war on terror just came home," my suspicions remain confimed. The rest of the poster just looks clumsy. There’s no style or energy, it just features a man…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+; C- Review: This poster, without being gaudy, takes a new approach to the teaser. If you know who’s in the film, you can easily put faces to the hair. The colors are nice except…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B-; C+ Review: A very simple poster that will easily turn off the kinds of viewers who shouldn’t see the film. It doesn’t conjure up horrific images of subdermal infestation, which seems perfect for the…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: I simply don’t get the purpose of this poster. Put the two awkward leads staring dumbfounded at the camera on a washed-out background and add a title. Maybe that’s the point? Make the…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: What gets me about place-filler posters is how hard they try sometimes to make it look engaging. This one doesn’t succeed as everything far too small to understand detail even if it is…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D-; B Review: Where as posters like Rescue Dawn and Balls of Fury have some element of depth to their design, this poster is so beyond banal that it’s instantly forgettable. The producers have until…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: The utterly ridiculous poster is very reminiscent of Dumb and Dumber and the film probably has the same thematic elements. It’s also painfully obvious that everything’s airbrushed and digitially added. Trailer Rating: C…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D Review: So authentic. So passionate. So bland. I’m hopeful there’s a new, more interesting poster that comes along some day, for this poster is indellibly weak. Trailer Rating: B- Review: Werner Herzog’s Vietnam prison…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Although the poster shows us the stalking killer of this horror satire, only the "Here’s Ronnie" tagline points to the film’s themic mélange. Trailer Rating: B Review: This doesn’t promise to be very…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D- Review: This poster too closely resembles the one used to advertise Apocalypse Now. Since the setting is supposedly a wagon train assaulted by rogue Mormons, I’d say the comparison is very loose at best.…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C-; C Review: This poster does very little to suggest a subject to the audience and the pattern around the border is unnecessary and distracting. If the bar code/human property symbolism hadn’t been used previously,…
