Review: There aren’t many films that create designs that are so wholly different from one another. (#1) This is the one that seems most intriguing, establishing the media frenzy surrounding the film’s be-horned protagonist and his murderous origin. (#2) A more traditional, tween-targeted design that lacks vision or panache. (#3) Using the somewhat familiar silhouette of a powerful devil, it doesn’t have enough details beyond to make it more than passingly fascinating.

(#4) More familiar to fans of modern horror films, this design is clearly targeting an audience that probably won’t be that interested in the film in the first place. (#5) A little more interesting than the previous design, but still rather barren for anyone wanting an original design. (#6 & #7). This diametric opposites are a fitting pair, touching on the ephemeral light and the Stygian darkness of the film’s combative narrative. They don’t have enough richness of detail to be truly exceptional.

Trailer: B+

Review: Some movies present such unusual narrative threads that the trailers become intriguing without being that original. The story looks like it has some compelling twists and turns, which should be enough to bring an audience of curiosity-seekers fascinated with the unusual possibilities the film could afford.
