“There is nothing in the dark that isn’t there in the light. Except fear”
An original 1991 US/International one-sheet film poster for Martin Scorsese’s suspenseful horror, thriller “Cape Fear”. Designed by Tom Martin and John Alvin, this is an incredible looking poster – the menace in De Niro’s stare is truly unsettling. Offered rolled (as issued) it presents to excellent effect with amazing dark colour tones, enhanced with blue touches giving not just the effect of water but also a lightening strike (so integral to the film’s finale). The water effect is further highlighted by the wave effect in the lower half of the poster – this is part of the printing with the poster itself presenting perfectly flat. An impressive and desirable film poster that represents a fantastic piece of modern horror cinematic memorabilia appealing to movie poster collectors and fans of Scorsese and De Niro.
Trivia: Gregory Peck, who starred in Cape Fear (1962), appears as Cady’s lawyer. Robert Mitchum played Max Cady in the 1962 version, and appears as Lieutenant Elgart. Martin Balsam played Mark Dutton in the 1962 version, and the judge in this version.

“One night is all that stands between them and freedom. But it’s going to be a hell of a night.”
A personal favourite movie and alternative movie poster by Rich Davies. Robert Rodriguez’ “From Dusk till Dawn” combines vicious violence, Cheech Marin vampires, and some funny dark humour from the cast into one big collective film. More than a basic horror movie, it shows Rodriquez as a fine director and Quentin Tarantino as a tight screenwriter who bring to the screen shoot em up vampire fun for the Pulp Fiction/Evil Dead devotees. A fantastic interpretation by Rich Davies for this grindhouse, horror-heist collaboration that perfectly captures the feel, look and attitude of the movie. Visual impact and artistic design are key aspects of any Tarantino/Rodriguez production and this beautiful example perfectly illustrates that fact, as a super-sexy Santanico Pandemonium (Salma Hayek) dominates the imagery. Absolutely stunning, the photograph really doesn’t do this example justice – being a giclee print (see below) the vibrant colours pop from the paper as this 2023 hand-numbered (#14/250) art print displays and presents to excellent effect and represents an amazing piece of cult cinematic movie memorabilia.

Trivia: Originally, Quentin Tarantino pitched this to John Travolta the same time as he was preparing to film Pulp Fiction (1994). Travolta was not interested in working on a vampire movie, and wanted to work on Pulp Fiction instead.
What is Giclee ?
Derived from the French term gicler – meaning ‘to squirt or spray’, the term describes a printing process whereby microscopic dots of pigment-based ink are sprayed onto archival-quality paper to ensure the fidelity of a limited edition print to an original artwork.
The richness, accuracy and depth of colour is thanks to the method’s potential to achieve a huge colour gamut (the spectrum of colours distinguishable by the human eye). Unlike the four tones used in lithography, giclées often use five: light cyan, cyan, light magenta, yellow and black.
Fantastic for reproductions which require maximum detail, giclées are most commonly found on watercolour paper or canvas, but can also be created on glass. Different types of paper will produce different effects. Matte paper works well behind glass due its lack of reflectivity, whilst the shine of a glossy finish can give an artwork a brighter appearance.
