10 Shocking Movie & TV Posters That Went Too Far

Speaking of leaving very little to the imagination, any guesses as to what Teeth is about?

Yup, that's right, the 2007 vagina dentata comedy horror centred on a young woman named Dawn O'Keefe that discovers her vagina quite literally has teeth. And the-powers-that-be attempted to sell the movie with a poster featuring an X-ray scan of a woman's body that just so happened to highlight those teeth.

Look, there's no denying that the poster was innovative. It was perhaps even clever. But it was just a little too out there for audiences in 2007 (and would probably still be considered as such today). And, as a result, a more acceptable poster of the film's protagonist in a slightly bloody bathtub was released instead.
