Bloody-Disgusting's WORST Posters of 2007!

Yesterday we showed you our list of Best Posters of 2007, now today you'll find our list of "Worst Posters" to hit theaters this past year. One sheets are an extremely important part of marketing a film and when they don't catch your eye, or don't give you any idea about what you're going to see I consider them a failure. Then there are the ones that are just plain hideous. You'll get a taste of them all inside. My eyes... they're burning!


***WORST POSTERS OF 2007***

ALIENS VS PREDATOR: REQUEIM, this one sheet looks like a medallion or a collector's coin or something. This is probably one of the most retarded images I've ever seen in a theater. It doesnt grab my attention or tell me anything about the movie other than I might get a free collectible at the theater, which I won't; AWAKE, even though we kind of get the idea of what the film is about, it cracks me up that the studio thinks that both Hayden and Alba are that big of names that by sticking their floating heads on a poster people will come see it. Look at Lionsgate's posters for THE EYE, they didn't do that; BLOOD & CHOCOLATE, another version of a floating heads poster, only this one is through her reflection where she's a scary creature. The poster uses bland colors and nothing stands out, it's a just looks like the vomit in my toilet after along night of drinking; BUG, not only are the quotes misrepresentational, but the poster is a rare Lionsgate dud. It's bland, all the blue washes out anything prominant and the poster tells us nothing about the film; DISTURBIA, as simple as crappy, ugly artwork; FIDO, I've never seen such a quote-heavy poster. It looks desperate and the image looks like a cheap t-shirt from Rotten Cotten; HALLOWEEN, yikes, too many images, too much going on and nothing stands out. You can barely even make out what the mask is in the background; HOSTEL: PART II, two interesting posters meshed into one? Interesting concept, but it didn't work. It looks like a cheap Photoshop job; I KNOW WHO KILLED ME, what the F-CK am I looking at? So I'm supposed to want to see this movie because a blue flower has two faces on it? Easily a top 10 worst posters of all time.

I kind of like the FIDO poster. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's the worst.

Sorry, I find it hard to believe that a couple of these are being grilled ... I think the AvP:R poster is the best Alien poster since the original Alien's poster. Also, the Disturbia poster isn't half bad either. Just my two cents.

I Know Who Killed Me, Halloween, and Disturbia are all a hell of a lot better than the Hostel 2 and Frontiers posters from the best of list!

I actually love the AVPR poster haha. I Know Who Killed Me is boring, but once you see the movie and what the blue rose symbolizes, it makes sense.

a rare LG dud? there are 2 others on the list.

hey, I fucking love that AvP:R poster... the two wrapped around the earth is an awesome picture! The rest I agree on, Disturbia especially. The movie was great, but that poster is definitely not attractive to the eyes by any means.

i like the FIDO and HALLOWEEN posters. halloween could have been better but it certainly aint the worst.

halloween should not be on this list

What's Disturbia doing up there? It's a simple yet cool looking poster, and gives you an idea of exactly what the movie is about...

How exactly are those the worst? Come on....

The inclusion of HALLOWEEN is just a cheap shot capitalizing on the dissatisfaction of the fans with the film. There's nothing wrong with that poster whatsoever, and the exclusion of exceedingly dull works like the INVASION poster clearly indicates that feelings about the (vastly underrated) film itself have skewed perspective on the ad campaign.

i like both the avp and halloween posters. i can understand the bug poster being on this list but i thought halloween was one of the better posters this year

the halloween poster looks like a homework assnment done by a 1st grader

Why so much hate on the AvP-R poster? If anything, it's a throwback to the old 80's "world at war" movies. The only poster that's displeasing is BUG. Also, the Fido poster would work if it was a movie about punk rock zombies, not contemporary families having a flesh eater as a pet :-P

Hmmmm halloween avp and ummm awake shouldnt been up there, to me posters should be about giving u an idea, awake does that for me... so does the name... halloween i liek because they take th legenddary mask and tun in into like police paper clippings and ummmavp i gives u a really good idea, althou a bit conceving tsicne ist not the whole actually world!

I'm on the side with those who like the Halloween and AVP posters. I think both are cool. Fun list though. I agree completely with the Fido and Bug posters sucking.

What has happened to Mr.D? Is anything right or good these days?

Halloween Poster deserved to be there, its looks so cheezy and like a bad direct to video (the remake was almost that) they did to much on the poster, the word "worst" goes well with the Halloween Remake.

disturbia is a good poster. and i know who killed me is pretty. horrible movie though.

Blood and Chocolate, Disturbia, I Know Who Killed Me and FIDO are very good IMO. Some people forget that usually there is a reason why a poster is styled in a particular way, for example perhaps FIDO seems crap to most people but it has a lot more work and thought into it than some other posters who merely rely on Photoshop or gore to appeal. Having said that Mr. Disgusting you need to stop telling people what is "good" or "bad" cause 1)i for one disagree with many of your views (TCM:Beginning u gave an almost perfect score!!!) and 2)in the end it is JUST your personal opinion and not a gospel

I guess I should make my own post in the forums for this topic because I totally disagree with the picks. For one thing Rob Zombie's Halloween poster is awesome...I would like to see you make a better one?! Disturbia is also a good poster and I think it shows what the movie is about. The I Know Who Killed Me poster is simple yet pretty good for what the movie is. The other ones arent all that great including the Hostel 2 one (which I am a fan of the film), but there are a couple different ones for that movie.

I quite like the Fido and the Disturbia posters actually. But the others are pretty shit.

The AvP poster is clearly trying to show the battle between them, which will leave us caught in the middle of their war.Don't know much about I Know Who Killed Me, but the poster looks kinda cool.

I completely agree with the person saying that Halloween's inclusion is all about lashing out at a dissatisfying film rather than true dissapointment in the poster. The Invasion poster was FAR worse. Completely. If you want to dog a poster simply because the movie was bad, then we all should be burning The Reaping posters every night before bed. What a steaming flaccid suckfest.
