Its a 2008 film called Frozen Flesh. I saw this poster with quotes all over it. Sounds like a damn good horror film. Then I saw the film. Or rather I forward through the film. Wow. What a load of shit. The film is on Youtube. Just scan though it to know what I mean.  |

This reminds me of that fake Sony movie critic who gave bad movies stellar reviews.

The Cedar Pine Dispatch? Rapturous quotes from media sources you never heard of is a sure sign that you are looking at the poster of a Very Bad Movie. Even the movie's director is the source of one of those quotes.

Lol this reminds me when the studio behind Never Back Down used a fake IMDb review to advertise their movie.

Frogs (1972):
Looking at those posters, especially the second one, viewers in 1972 must have thought this one was about giant man-eating frogs. Nope. Just regular frogs in the film and they don't even attack anyone, let alone eat. They are simply supervisors to other genuinely threatening animals such as snakes and alligators.

The poster for 1976 King Kong called it “The most exciting original motion picture event of all time.” The only accurate thing in that statement is it being a motion picture.

That DVD artwork, sure is a piece of work, and then some. I picked it up, only because of exactly that, years ago, and while not what I would describe as a so-bad-its-hilarious kind of b-movie, it did have some amusing and very funny moments, and yeah, but credits to whoever came up with those riduculous looking posters. I do not remember the title, but it was a Sean Penn movie, released not so many years ago. I think he was dressed up, like Robert Smith of the Cure, and the scandinavian DVD artwork, were full on, with praise about how "hilarious" and "funny" it was. Turned out to be one of the most depressing, slow moving and boring movies, I have ever witnessed. Hated it, and maybe more, because I went in, hoping for something rather good or pleasant, but got anything but that, instead. Then, as a rule, I have tried my best to go by, is that any norwegian movie, full of praise and high ratings by critics, specially put onto the DVD/Blu-ray cover, is at "best", a mediocre or very boring waste of time. Most of the other time, it is almost unwatchable, and painful, compared to swedish and danish films.

"Absolutely terrifying. A horror masterpiece." - Justin French, director of Frozen Flesh
I'm glad he liked his own movie

That is the one, and yeah, while I am not sure if the artwork is the exact same, I did notice that there were some raving or glowing reviews of the film. I remember I saw it with my dad, and early in, he just said something like: "A movie, made only for the specially interested" or something close.

I know this film was critically acclaimed but the poster seems extremely overhyped:  A "miracle of a movie"... Seriously? I wonder how it will be (or will it be) remembered in 10 years. |
