Horror Movie Artwork
At Cult Labs, we all love incredible movie artwork. Whether it’s discussions about the DVD/Blu-ray artwork used on an upcoming cult film release, incredible posters of not-so-incredible exploitation films or chats about our favourite artists. Well, here’s a new artist to add to the list of Graham Humphreys, The Dude Designs and Rick Melton. With a passion for Stephen King in particular, head over to this website to see some fantastic artwork of our fave cult horror movies!
Out Now!
Are you the type of person to have the last word? If someone wrongs you, will you do anything you can to get revenge? To get justice? Nothing beats an action packed revenge film and they don’t come more locked and loaded than the new film from Anchor Bay, Revenge For Jolly. Available now on both DVD and Blu-ray and boasting a great cast including Elijah Wood, Revenge For Jolly is packed full of ultra-violent vengeance, great gun-action and plenty of pitch-black laughs. Take a look at the sneak preview clip...
