A vintage approach to the promotion
Worn and folded, the Sundance Film Festival one-sheet for the Butcher Bros.’ The Violent Kind looks like it was hung up by a horror fan, sold off, thrown into a Hollywood memorabilia collection, then transported around and posted multiple times (perhaps for revival screenings). It looks like it lived. That, or it was used to wipe up a murder scene.
Click below for a hi-res look at the poster which doesn’t offer up much about the plot of the film (which tells of bikers, possession and violence) but is merely a snapshot of what we can presume is a pivotal moment – much like the original artwork that was used for Wes Craven’s The Last House on the Left.
Of course, we fully expect the art will change when The Violent Kind gets any kind of wide release. Why? The MPAA doesn’t like blood on their posters.
