10 Terrible Films That Tricked Us With Awesome Posters

By Sydney Zink / January 2, 2013

2. Heaven's Gate (1980)

The multiple posters advertising Heaven's Gate commendably adhere to the epic western genre of the film. The posters are classic expressions of American patriotism, old-timey trimmings, and quintessential Western quirks. From aged-looking texture to Eastwood-looking depictions of male characters, ever poster appears a detail-focused, well-worked charm of western movies and style. However, with posters€™ theme of patriotism comes that of pride, and director Michael Cimino unfortunately seems to have sported more of it towards Heaven€™s Gate than the project was worth. The film is not nearly as epic as its classification would have it. For a western, surprisingly little justice is won -- that is, from this film towards the western genre itself.
