See that's how you sell a film. I've known absolutely nothing about this film until now and I'm sold based on this poster alone.

In this chilling and inventive documentary, executive produced by Errol Morris and Werner Herzog, the unrepentant former members of Indonesian death squads are challenged to re-enact some of their many murders in the style of the American movies they love.

:stare: Yep, between the poster and that description I'm watching the poo poo out of that movie.

I kind of thought so too, but it looks like he didn't become a producer until the film was essentially finished and he's just "the money" to get it distributed.

Maybe yeah, but the trailer looks like it hits the right balance of horrifying and real with strangely beautiful and poetic. The death squad guys really seem like they have no clue that what they did/are doing is scary and evil, and some of the footage from the more propagandist short films (like the screen source of that poster) is very nicely-done.

I think it's time for a laurel grading system. When I see more than three sets of laurels I know it's going to be things like "Little Italy Open Air Film Festival" or "Winnipeg Real to Reel."

EDIT: When I saw that little dog poster first thing I thought is "THAT IS NOT A LAMB!" :colbert:

This one is pretty amazing. I feel like usually when people try to do something like this it looks overwrought, but this one pulls it off really well. That snow globe imagery is so good. drat, I'd totally hang that on my wall.

Edit: The artist is apparently not very consistent...

I first interpreted this as Walt is a tiny Mario-Kart go-kart and it was the best poster I had ever seen.

I'm 90% sure that's a mock-up poster that was done before they settled on this design:


The final release poster isn't much different:


Apparently it was Jon Peters, one of the films producers, who absolutely insisted they keep this logo as the only poster advertizing the film got. They even used it on the newspaper ads:


I love the way they carried it over for the second movie.

The white portion of the poster looks a little weird; turns out it was supposed to be reflective.

If the guy de-emphasized Catwoman's boobs and made her ears more visible and replaced the font with something less grungy and more modern, it could be decent. I'd put in an inverted photoprint of eyes on either side and completely redo the buildings (also in B&W photoprint) so the whole thing looked like Bane and his mask (as well as playing up the grungy realism of Nolan's Gotham and the pseudo-populist rhetoric of Bane in contrast to the slickness of Batman and Catwoman), so you could have Bane looking over the city, then Selina Kyle silhouettes, then finally Batman at the center.

From the minds that brought you Rover the Rock Star and Good Boy, Bluegrass Beagle! comes a heartwarming tale of slightly offputting CGI lip synching and people with far too much money casting their pet dog in a film! Animal welfare groups are calling it "demeaning and cruel" and "offensively bad". Coming soon to a theater near you!

I'm amused by the implication that they really, really wanted to call this movie "Dog Idol" but sadly couldn't get legal clearance.

Hesitation is defeat.
One of the funniest things about this poster (aside from being a Jaws ripoff) is that the monster featured doesn't actually look like a graboid. Still, I like the rent-up earth texturing. The spread at the top is really strange though. Next to it is the obligatory Mondo version, also starring one of the Children of the Corn.



As with the Tremors movies, the posters/box art have only one direction to go with increasing sequel number (but I still loved Tremors 2 as a kid):



Tremors 3 is truly among the most magical of professional artworks for a direct-to-video film. So that's...wait, there's a Tremors 4? :gonk:
