Whedonesque Mobile : Comments on 11296 : Poster for Nick Brendon's new movie 'The Unholy'.

September 06 2006

Poster for Nick Brendon's new movie 'The Unholy'. It's very striking and genuinely unnerving too.

It's bloody horrible is what it is. Very nice poster for a horror movie, quite classy in its own way (though the tag-line doesn't do much for me, bit meh).

(but what is it with 'verse actors and eyes with stuff in them ? 'The Return' poster has a similar - if less nasty - image of an eye with a hand in the pupil)

At least they spelt the tag line right. (I once saw a direct to DVD movie where they had the grammar wrong on the cover - I bought it, because you know - cheese).

EW! I didnt think anything could be worse than the Saw posters. So gross.

It is striking and unnerving. For me, I think it's the gore covered, pointy finger nails...delightfully creepy.

WOW! I love it!

That is cool. I think one of the the scariest posters I have ever seen is the one for Pet Cementary.

Featuring Tiddles the concrete zombie-cat ! They never should've buried their pets over an old abandoned brick-works. Now they're coming back ... wrong !

Aaargh, run for your lives ;).

The poster itself is interesting, the lettering looks a bit 'Oh, look what I added for the Fark photoshop contest!'.

zeitgeist | September 06, 17:52 CET

It's not the most professional looking poster, I agree, but that adds to its basic charm. I don't much like horror movies, so this poster is a clear 'stay away'-signal, but it's very effective and something that's sure to get noticed.

Can I just say: "eww"

MobileHQ | September 06, 18:16 CET

Striking poster, yes... but that title! Oy! Not nearly as catchy as "Burst Blood Vessel Eye Trauma". That's a title.

mr_shemp | September 06, 18:22 CET

Hahaha. I liked the poster a lot -- I think it's even more striking because the first thing you see is the flashing "Ain't it Cool" animation.

YellowBear | September 06, 18:44 CET

That poster is disgusting but I mean that in a good way.

How long has this movie been delayed? I seem to remember commenting on it here a very long time ago.

dreamlogic | September 06, 20:58 CET

First mention of it here seems to have been in April.

zeitgeist | September 06, 21:42 CET

Looks pretty standard horror-ish.

April, 2005.

dreamlogic | September 07, 00:21 CET

dreamlogic - sorry, yes, left that rather important bit off :)

zeitgeist | September 07, 00:36 CET

Still waiting for it. GO NICK!

Ocular | September 07, 03:08 CET

Ugh, did I mention how amazingly creepy I find this poster? Bloody eyes, bloody writing in eyes, bloody fingers, bloody pointy nails, bloody pointy nails holding an eye open?!??!!

The Ick Factor is off the charts -- good job, you. Whoever y'all are.

There are no words other than ewww (if you count that as a word).

Harmalicious | September 07, 07:06 CET

Looks creepy and in this case that's a good thing. Still waiting for a release.

cheryl | September 07, 07:22 CET

(but what is it with 'verse actors and eyes with stuff in them ?)

One word, Saje, which I believe has been echoed here. And that word is ewwww!

greentara | September 07, 10:18 CET

Both The Return and The Grudge 2 have close up eyes with things in them... what's all that about?

flugufrelsarinn | September 07, 13:07 CET

Thats what Xander's eye looks like under the patch.
