I hate the poster design

I really hate that poster design, the picture that is used for the imdb page. It just looks really ugly, and it makes it look like this is a horror B-movie.

Yeah, I don't like it. It nearly put me off watching it. Good film, though.

I agree. It doesn't do it any justice at all.

Well, it IS a horror B movie, so I'd say the poster suits fine.
What do you expect on a poster for a horror movie with content such as this?
Bambi skipping through a field of daises??????

Did you watch the same movie? It's not a horror B movie at all. It's a psychological thriller.

Well, a turd by any other name........(didn't think much of it and if it was a thriller as you point out, then the "thrills" were few and far between, imo)
Maybe I'm just getting inured and jaded by all this dreck that's being churned out by anyone with a HD videocam and a bunch of college drinking buddies with too much time on their hands. I'm not saying that this movie fits into THAT category, but it does tend to dilute the whole scene a little, wouldn't you say??

Anyway it fit the genre for me, so that's all good.

Cheers
