I love a good teaser poster, and these three pieces of key art for Vasilis Katsoupis' debut feature deliver a satisfying tease. The film, Inside, is a one man, one room heist film starring Willem Dafoe, who slowly goes crazy after he is locked in an upscale penthouse full of expensive art. The posters were designed by Arsonal, who typically traffick in prestige TV work but occasionally do excellent feature film work; see their one sheets for Tully, or Thoroughbreds. The teasers here, each feature an object with the films title embedded. Note the excess type elements which fade into the posters creamy background offer a trapped/escape motif. I think it is safe to guess that these objects (like the animal posters...

The poster selection this month is a bit uninspiring, but I guess that comes with the territory of awards season—name recognition is at an all-time high. When everyone is talking about The Fabelmans and Glass Onion, they don’t need to wow us with exciting visuals. That’s not to say it wouldn’t be nice if they tried.
Thankfully, a few titles do stand out. Maybe they don’t all possess a strikingly original composition, but a little artistry goes a long way. Don’t blame the designers, though: they’re creating hundreds of comps and spending countless hours on each campaign only to sometimes have the studio pick the safest most boring sketch of the bunch. You do your best with what you’re given.

Case in point: Eo. They could have used a still from the film and went glossy donkey. They could have done something artsy,...

It’s another month devoid of big studio properties hijacking theater screens unless you consider a week-long engagement of Clerks III (September 13) from Lionsgate and Fathom Events fits the bill. Not even Disney wanted to compete with festival season as both Pinocchio (September 8) and Hocus Pocus 2 (September 30) are going straight to Disney+.
So, welcome to the continued free-for-all of untapped potential vying for your hard-earned money at the box office. Maybe one of the posters below will be just enough to entice you into giving their film a chance. That’s the hope anyway.

It’s a simple yet effective tease. Bulldog’s Don’t Worry Darling (opens September 23) seeks to deliver the juxtaposition between an idyllic utopian surface and its darker underbelly of control. So, we get a tiny Florence Pugh and Harry Styles at the bottom, kissing before he leaves for work, and a tiny plane freefalling through the air.

The fall festival season is upon us and that means awards season isn’t too far behind. And if you’re wondering just how crazy the last couple years have gone for cinema, look no further than the fact that I have posters of two TIFF films bowing in theaters this month below: one from the latest installment (beginning September 9) and one from the 2019 edition. Better late than never.
Hopefully that trend continues as more indie titles held for better days start making their entrance into the public sector, either via the big screen or VOD/streaming. But the latter is a very good thing, no matter what some try to tell you. Especially when Disney’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings hits September 3 and inevitably monopolizes half of your hometown’s available screens. Sometimes getting “normalcy” back is overrated. And, frankly, the studios have nothing to...
