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.
