Review: (#1) While the design tries to seem haunting, it’s ultimately overly simplistic, lacking in compelling details, and has no depth.

(#2-#6) Employing the same aesthetic of the normal design, these character posters don’t do enough to create individuality between them.

Trailer Rating: C+ / B-

Review: (#1) Trying to convey a sense of foreboding while setting up the interest for the film’s content is a challenge for some movies and this one is no exception. The premise is a shade confusing and there’s nothing of genuine excitement on display.

(#2) Giving the audience more information about the story, this design does a far better job creating interest in the viewer. The design elements are fascinating and the mystery is kept well concealed, which aids in making the film more compelling.

Oscar Prospects:

The film gets an Oscar-qualifying run, but is releasing way too late in the cycle to be much of a threat.
