Tell me what u think of 'the black dahlia' film poster?
The Black Dahlia Movie Synopsis: A fictionalized tale of obsession, love, corruption, greed and depravity set around the true story of the brutal murder of a fledgling Hollywood starlet that shocked and fascinated the nation in 1947 and remains unsolved today.





The poster is very dramatic and depicts a seemingly dead, pale beauty with a trickle of blood coming out of the side of her mouth. She has a live flower in her hair, her eyes are open and her skin is flawless although she looks more like a manequin than a dead body, set against a black backdrop. The poster is effective in getting attention and the subject gives the viewer a feeeling of dead calm which is eerie and inspires interest in the story.
Reply:Nothing stimulating about a woman with black blood dripping from her mouth. Cornball city. I wish they would've come up with something more drawing to the eye.
Reply:its made of paper that comes from woodit propably has that scarlett joha-thingy on it too.





any help?
Reply:I have seen 3 different posters. In the one looking to the side, the lipstick shows where the cut is going to go. I the other she is dead and blood is running from her mouth and the other shows the whole cast over the Title. I have not seen the movie but the posters suggest it happened a long time ago. They are using a film noir technique AND perhaps this woman did something with her mouth that incured the wrath of a murder. It does not look like murder by stranger because her mouth distortion looks like someone hated her.
