Film Preview: Ghost Town (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: It’s a fitting poster, though not terribly exciting.

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Colorful for sure, but to entice an audience, this image won’t cut it.

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+ Review: The poster is a striking image and was the first thing that drew me to the page.

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: It looks like something Pink Floyd might have once used on an album cover.
