Sanctum - the poster.

chin_grin

So, apologies if there's a thread on this film here already. I did do a search (I swears!).

This is becoming more and more obvious to me so I need to post it. Do you think that the Sanctum poster looks like the HR Gigers alien head? Is this some sort of subconscious programming, or me needing to don my tin foil hat again?

Could it be some pre-prequel marketing ploy by Cameron? (cos he produces Sanctum)

It's blatant though! No, squint...you'll see what I mean then! Please tell me I'm not going insane! :pac:

Nice spot, it bears a remarkable resemblance if it's not by design.

hmm

I think it could be an issue with how the poster image is squeezed for a single frame size. Most times i've seen this its been alot more of a panaroma shape.

I remember it being alot less vertical when I saw a poster on the tube or cinema for it. Might look out tomorrow morning to confirm or not.

Well I originally spotted this when I was staring at the big bus shelter poster. Something to do with the composition and style of it. I just thought it was very obvious......well.....ok....maybe.

I have been thinking this myself,and Googled to see if anyone else had noticed. It was also a bus shelter poster that made me think of this, and the resemblance is pronounced IMO

Thanks for that. It is very interesting, but I think missed my point that it's subliminal advertising for a future 'project'.

This is the alien head.

In my mind I've flipped it right to left and that's the composition of the sanctum poster. So when I mentioned earlier that it 'looks like'. I meant loosely. Not literally (cof certain previous posters I'm looking at you).

But then again it's relative to the person isn't it? I mean I can't decipher magic eye drawings yet I see clearly the alien head as the poster for this film.

Just wanted to see if there were any others that thought the same and didn't want to provoke a tirade of needless replies (again, to the certain previous posters if you had nothing to add then why bother adding it?).

I see the alien shaped head in the poster design also!

You're all mad.
