Special effects in movies have sky-rocketed. The one-sheets and posters for movies are released much in advance and help create a hype about the movie. With a cartload of movies releasing every week, the poster for a movie takes emminence in branding and promoting the movie early on. For that very reason, it also has to be memorable and different while conveying the essence of the movie at a glance. That effect is very difficult to achieve for your standard run-of-the-mill drama, romance and comedy movies. It is a whole different ball game for thrillers, sci-fi, horror and action. I have rounded up some amazing photo manipulation movie posters in these very genres from recent and upcoming movies that are generating quite a buzz. These are a wonderful study in bringing together graphics and typography for effect. For those of you who are hazy about what photo manipulation or photo-manip means, it is the application of image editing techniques to photographs in order to create an illusion.

      I know right? I guess horror films have that realm of unrealism hence very easy to experiment with photo manips.
