Disgusting Horror Film Posters

[Ijustwannateach]

I suppose that to some extent, I have only myself to blame in going to see Silent Hill for being exposed to the disgusting, explicit trailers for whatever piece of @#$@ movie is soon to be released showing such wonders as a baby sticking its hand in a running blender.

But what did the poor, innocent bystanders (including children of all ages) who are merely shopping in a mall showing this movie do to deserve being exposed to posters of this movie, including the dismembered baby sitting next to the blender and its bloody, pulpy contents?

What sense is there in censoring cigarette smoke and alcohol on TV when this stuff is allowed to sprawl across two story posters in malls?

This is one of the few occasions when sensible censorship would probably be a good idea....

I saw the trailer for this one (not sure the name but it's a Thai movie) on the weekend before Superman Returns (crap btw).

The movie looks really cheap and lame, with some kind of Buddhist reincarnation theme going on like every other generic Thai ghost movie .I nearly burst out laughing when the baby went in the blender , all though you don't really see much on the trailer.

I fully agree! The other day I was sitting in a restaurant in Pattaya and as usual the TV was turned on. PCN had a detailed report about some condo jumper or whatever it was (sound was off) with blood all over the screen straight in my face. Reassured my decision not having any TV whatsoever at home...

Saw the trailer with the blender with my kid when I took her to see Superman, not the sort of thing a 7 year old needed to see!!!!

I think the movie was called Colic. I also went to see Superman( loved it). The Colic movie did look a bit mad. Apparently its about a baby seeing ghosts or something.

I love horror films.

It was awful, went with my hubbie and daughter to watch Pirates of the Carribean this past Tuesday and saw this trailer, I didn't have enough hands to cover both my ears and eyes!!!!!!

Well I don't find it appropriate for children especially the ads around

town, there have been times when it's even more gory than this current baby flick. Can't they make more romantic comedies or something???

Don't forget, this is a country where you get " Nightmare on Elm Street" or " The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" on at 16.00 and Bambi on at 02.00 in the morning.

I will raise my hand and agree as well. It is so bad with the trailers before childrens movies that my son hates going to the cinema because he is so afraid of the trailers.

Someone actually wrote into the Phuket Gazette recently asking why they show these things before childrens films and the answer was that BKK decides what to show. The paper contacted SFX in BKK and they gave some suitably lame explanation. I guess they just don't care.

No different from walking into the bus station and being greeted by the "wreck hall of fame"...

My missus is going to the cinema to see this today with a girlfriend of hers. Both of them are extremely excited and looking forward to watching it.

No doubt I'll get the rundown on it tonight.

Not exactly my cup of tea though...
