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.
