I was very fortunate to be granted a press pass for Cannes this year. With it being my first time at The Big Dance, I took advantage of every opportunity available to me: screenings, interviews, press conferences, functions, and parties! It was particularly fun to wander around the Cannes Film Market, the world’s largest, with thousands of films on show (in various stages of development) all hoping to be picked up for funding and/or release.
What you soon realise is that Cannes is not just for the Hollywood big boys or indie darlings. Every man and his dog is here trying to sell a film. A plethora of movie posters line the booths and market walls, all clamouring for your attention. Some of them are absolute shockers!
I took a few photos of the most hilariously awful. So here, for your viewing pleasure, are the best worst movie posters from Cannes 2014:
.
Wrestlers vs Zombies: Ok, I have to admit, I really do want to see this.
.
Zoombies: I sensing a zombie theme this year.
.
Goal of the Dead: How far can you stretch a genre?…this far!
.
Santa Claws: A film so bad, you wish it had zombies!
.
Krampus – The Christmas Devil: Yes, this is a real movie. Probably better than Santa Claws though.
.
Pups United: Shoot…Me…Now!
.
strong>Squirrels: If you’re going to promote schlock…do it like this. Genius.
.
Manhole: How scary could a manhole possibly be!?!
.
Falcon Rising: How not to sell an action film.
.
Rambo 5: I think they’ve stopped trying.
.
God – The Father: Who are the creative geniuses behind this?
.
The Vanishing Act: Wrong on so many levels. What’s even more frightening….there’s a trailer!
