Poster for Herman showing a hooded figure in the foreground approaching a foggy, surreal scene. In the distance, a woman stands beneath an umbrella next to a lamppost, with a dark, amorphous creature looming above her. The tagline reads, “The Darkness Has Come for You.” The atmosphere evokes isolation, dread, and psychological horror.

Three storm chasers — a woman, a man in a red plaid shirt, and a man in a white button-up — stare in awe and fear as a massive tornado barrels through a windswept field behind them. The storm looms large under a dark, churning sky. The title Twisters appears in bold white, jagged lettering above the tornado.

A massive tornado dominates the dusky sky, touching down with violent force on a rural landscape. In the foreground, two people — a man and woman — run from the storm, their expressions tense and urgent. The tagline reads: “Don’t breathe. Don’t look back.” Below the title, it says: “The Dark Side of Nature.”
Twister (1996)
A stylized poster featuring Michael Fassbender (as Carl Jung), Keira Knightley (as Sabina Spielrein), and Viggo Mortensen (as Sigmund Freud). Their faces are dramatically lit, with the central figure of Knightley torn down the middle, visually separating Jung on the left and Freud on the right. The text reads: “Based on the true story of Jung, Freud and the patient who came between them.”

The kind that drives you crazy.” The film’s title is displayed in bold red letters, emphasizing the comedic and offbeat tone.
What About Bob? (1991)
Poster for Unsane featuring Claire Foy’s face layered with a translucent second image of herself, evoking confusion and psychological instability.
