| Jason | 02-26-2007 12:35 [E,W] | | Can they do this?? I was surprised to see this poster on the site, and not in a good way. | | Vinny | 02-26-2007 13:25 [E,W] | | why make this movie poster? It's interesting, but overall a pointless way to advertise this movie being that its not going to be seen by many. A pointlessly risky ad. | | V.M. Smith | 02-26-2007 14:09 [E,W] | I think it's kinda funny, why, I can't explain, but I get a real kick out of this. I would never have this on my wall or anything but It's kinda kinky in an out of this world, H.P. Lovecraft kinda way.

The juxtoposition of the beautiful female figure with that grotesque head is intriguing but the fact that they used the female nude to grab your attention and sell the movie, is a really, really cheap trick and I think it takes the 'shock value' too far. As a female, I am a bit put off by this image, I think it is demeaning...was probably designed by a male. Because of this, I have less respect for this key art as well as the film they are intending to sell, so as a result, I would say it is not successful....caught my attention, but for all the wrong reasons. | | Zinj | 02-27-2007 17:10 [E,W] | | Top poster, make me think of the old EU horror poster from the '80, welcome back. | | dman420 | 02-27-2007 16:48 [E,W] | | a naked chick and a severed head, is there any better way to advertise a crazy horror flick? | | movierator | 02-27-2007 16:54 [E,W] | Laura, I think you're right. but it's a very tricky subject. It's more than offensive to women. But nobody said anything about the other Hostel poster.
Anyway, I must say this poster is very bizzarely sexy to some. But to others it's a little bit artistic... in a creepy way. A |
