Weekly Roundup #6

Every Friday, we're taking a look at the film and television posters released over the past week. Enjoy! 
Chances are, this horror movie will enter theaters unnoticed and most audiences will never know it exists. But this poster – brilliantly creating a woman's face out of leaves – might be enough to make They're Watching memorable.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the epitome of the basic action/fantasy/sci-fi movie poster. Two main characters front-and-center with a sword dramatically dividing them; a few side-characters posing underneath; the only female character wearing a hilariously impractical breastplate (and not much else); and legions of indistinguishable, CGI soldiers at the bottom. 
We typically ignore fanmade posters on this blog, but this is a great example of unofficial art done right. Instead of the usual awkward, poorly-photoshopped mess (like this one), this poster mashes together various pieces of official promo art, resulting in all of the (many, many) superheroes looking their best. And the grainy, retro style reflects Captain America's old-fashioned nature. 
Okay, I don't really know what High-Rise is about, and this latest poster does nothing to help (unless it's subtly reflecting the mental state of Tom Hiddleston's character), but the marketing team has really gone all out with the poster campaign. 
At least this action hero has an excuse for running around shirtless all the time. The tagline isn't great, but it's certainly appropriate and pretty unique, too. 

Which poster is your favorite? Tell me in the comments, and feel free to subscribe.
