Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Although there is a line of text early in the trailer suggesting that there are some disturbing events in the film, a poster that’s designed more like a horror film does not make…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Color rich, but emotionally lacking, this design takes a risk by not giving a more evocative idea what the film is about and instead relying on facial expressions to tell a story of…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: As childish as the trailer, this poster reminds me of the VHS box covers of those direct-to-video Disney rip-offs. Needless to say that’s not a positive. Trailer Rating: C; D Review: When does…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+ Review: The poster, while only tangentially related to the documentary, is in a classic style that looks fresh and cinematically appropriate. It’s a work of art that moves beyond traditional poster design. Trailer Rating:…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: The poster is a bit more akin to Foolish than it is to Flashbacks. The strips of images featuring charcters is a bit old and the cornflower blue background color feels entirely out…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: The poster looks strikingly like the one used for Funny Games which featured Naomi Watts “crying” in supposed terror. Here, it’s just a morose little Dakota Fanning face and I must admit it’s…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+ Review: Effectively matching the trailer’s bizarreness, the poster is strange, unusual and completely fun. Trailer Rating: B Review: Telling you the entire plot is a costly decision, but considering the style and subject, it…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: The title seems entirely out of place and two of my least favorite poster design elements are present (the festival laurels and the side-by-side film image panes, but the core image sufficiently explains…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: So, the pentagram features prominently in the trailer, but the poster really doesn’t do enough to explain why the film is called house. Granted, the pentagram will draw curious onlookers to its subject,…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: Void of common sense visuals or flashy subtext, a simple poster of Van Damme looking beaten and tired does not make for an enticing image except perhaps to his legions of fans, which…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: It shows us the two leads. That’s it. Nothing special. It’s all there for you to see and it’s not terribly engaging. Trailer Rating: C+ Review: Quirky is probably the least unusual word…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: The poster is hardly appealing. While it does a sufficient job explaining the lead of the film, it lacks any visual panache that often accompanies horror films which is both an asset and…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: The most disturbing aspect of the poster is for anyone who knows anything about bullfighting and that surrounds the sword the matador has pulled out of its sheath within the banner. Otherwise, the…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Drawing the four candidates featured in the film on a piece of paper reminiscent of the drawings kids typically make while they are supposed to be paying attention in class is a clever…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: While it entirely embodies the film’s story, it is neither interesting or involving. Other than a few casual glances wondering what’s going on, most people won’t drop anything to see this. Trailer Rating:…
