Official Movie Poster For “The Strangers” With Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman

Last month Mike shared with us how the trailer for The Strangers (official site) scared the crap out of him.  I have to admit it was a pretty freaky trailer.  One of the most disturbing images from the preview was a shot of Liv Tyler standing in her living room as one of “the strangers” enters the room behind her wearing a mask.  This scene was replicated for the official one-sheet poster for the film which was released exclusively to ShockTillYouDrop.com yesterday (yeah, we don’t get the exclusives just yet).


Despite the haunting image on the poster, I think I actually like the teaser poster for this film better than this one.  That poster had its own disturbing image: Liv Tyler, bloodied and crawling on the ground, searching for escape.  I thought the colors and imagery of that poster worked well together and really drew attention to itself.  This poster seems to be a lot more mainstream, and, hence, a lot more like all the other posters out there.

According to the poster, the film is “inspired” by true events.  I wouldn’t place a lot of stock in that as almost any story could be said to be inspired by true events.  Still, the idea that strangers would attack a couple who are in their own home, isolated, is kind of scary.  If you like scary movies this might be a good choice for you.

The Strangers stars Scott Speedman and Liv Tyler and opens in theaters on May 30, 2008.
