Turistas (2006)
The main problem with this poster is that it really gives no feeling for what the film is about. The title does not conjure up feelings of horror and the tag line of "Go home" is pretty ambiguous. So the image really needs to drive home the fact that this is a horror / thriller. But there is no sense of that here. The international poster for The Hills Have Eyes remake was perhaps too extreme in showing terror on the face of its subject. This one has gone to the opposite extreme, making the terror so subtle that it's pretty much lost. In fact, there isn't much difference between the expression of horror on this girl's face and the expression of wonder on this boy's face.
