1. ANTICHRIST (Australian Theatrical Poster)
Distributor: IFC Films
Tagline: When nature turns evil, true terror awaits.
Comments: The poster's shock value easily makes it more memorable, but I chose this foreign Antichrist one-sheet as my top pick for far better reasons than that. I should mention that most of the posters attached to this film were quite nice, but this one is most special. The scissors here represent several elements; by having the faces on either side we understand that these 2 are being pulled apart, the scissors themselves are a key tool in the film, and the blood and its placement, well... that's for you to find out. Some onlookers might be turned off, if this is the case then it's done its job because if you can't handle this poster you shouldn't see the film. The best posters for me always tend to be the ones that understand their audiences, respect the film they represent and do so in a way that reflects or at very least serves as an extension of the film. Kudos go to artist Jeremy Saunders.
