My morning subway commute is supposed to be a quiet time. A time to read my horse-racing magazines, zone out with some Jody Watley tunes on my iPod, start fantasizing about what I’ll have for lunch, try to avoid eye contact with the crazy lady. It is not supposed to be a time when Lionsgate Films ambushes me with freakishly disturbing images that send me into the emotional fetal position. For example, its new ad campaign for The Abandoned, featuring a black-and-white picture of a cracked, chapped dollbaby that’s crying a single, sinister tear of blood. What the hell? It is not right. It is not okay. I am alarmed and outraged. (Also, I’m totally gonna go see it when it opens on Feb. 23.)
If you’re brave enough, click here to see the poster, and let me know what you think. I’ll be trying to get an emergency appointment with my therapist.
A) EW
B) What IS this movie???
C) *twitch*
Doesn’t even come CLOSE to the ad for “It’s Alive” years ago…..the claw hanging out of the baby carriage gave my kids nightmares for months.
Not as bad as the Saw 3 poster with the pulled teeth that you pointed out before. I’m eagerly awaiting the day that the kids get tired of these derivative, assembly line horror movies and some quality horror flicks get made again. I watched The Ring four years ago and didn’t have to see another horror movie until The Descent this year.
Love it, Gorgeous poster, can’t wait to get a copy and hang it in my room.
Obviously you have a low creep-out threshold. It’s creepy, but it’s not THAT creepy.
Again Slezak…weren’t you the one grossed out by the Saw III poster? I mean, it’s a scary flick, whaddaya expect? A grandmother and crocheting on a porch watching her grandkids playing with puppies and eating ice cream on a spring afternoon?
Sweet. And it’s rated R! Embrace your dark side, it’s pretty over there.
Good call Slezak! I had the same experience last week riding the DC Metro. I agree that it’s not the most disturbing poster, but I definitely didn’t appreciate being creeped out by it while trying to relax and read my EW!
