Rating: B- Commentary: It has some great music, but there are some painfully cliched elements in the trailer suggesting a film that doesn’t have nearly as much to say as it should. |
Rating: B- Commentary: Like the trailer, this poster has some terrific elements but doesn’t exactly exude masterful impressions. |

Rating: C+ Commentary: It goes over most of the intricate treacherous things going on in the film, but it may just go too far in doing so. It makes it really hard to find something interesting in a film you already know so much about. |
Rating: B- Commentary: It’s a modestly fitting poster that celebrates the art world while shoring up its faith in sex. |

Rating: C+ Commentary: It’s a horror/thriller cross that seems to skew towards horrific even if emotionally charged. |
Rating: B- Commentary: I don’t even understand the point of the film’s title, but the poster plays into it quite well. |

Rating: C+ Commentary: The trailer sends mixed messages. The music suggests a horror film. The trailer suggests a tense thriller drama. The mixture may just disappoint both types of fans. |

Rating: C Commentary: It hits most of the horror film cliche high and low points, giving away far more information than necessary. It’s the kind of movie that hits theaters, does poor business and finds new life on DVD. |
Rating: None Commentary: None available. |
