Eyeball posters are creepy


From Moviesonline, “A new supernatural thriller starring Sarah Michelle Gellar as Joanna Mills, a tough young Midwesterner determined to learn the truth behind the increasingly terrifying supernatural visions that have been haunting her. Joanna has made a successful career for herself, as sales representative for a trucking company.

But her private life has been difficult; estranged from her father (SAM SHEPARD), stalked by an obsessed ex-boyfriend (ADAM SCOTT), and with few friends, Joanna fears that she is losing control. She sees and feels the brutal murder of a young woman she's never met, at the hands of a heartless killer - a man who appears to be making Joanna his next target.

Determined to fight back, Joanna is guided by her nightmares to the murdered woman's hometown. Once there, she will discover that some secrets can't be buried; some spirits never die; and that the murder she is trying to solve may be her own.”

[Octopunk]: When I was writing flap copy for Viking Childrens' Books, one stock phrase it was always okay to end the blurb with was "for you and your family to treasure again and again..." or some such. You know, to invoke the idea that you'd want to take the book off the shelf again later. The phrase "...and that the murder she is trying to solve may be her own" is just like that. Stock. We'd use that one at Viking, too.

I saw a trailer for this when I saw The Descent. Then I completely forgot that had happened. I'm going to go mess with that ad copy now.
