“The film’s closing credits roll over the first image of the movie, a black and white image of Laura’s eyes as a negative.”

A really good looking eye-catching film poster where the sense of style literally oozes from the paper. With artwork and design by John Stockle the 1978 UK quad poster for the horror thriller “Eyes of Laura Mars” is highly recommended with Faye Dunaway featuring prominently.

Film Description

Eyes of Laura Mars Movie Poster

“Suddenly Laura Mars can see through the eyes of a serial killer as he commits his crimes. She contacts the police and with the aid of a police detective, tries to stop the killer. But first, they have to figure out who it is.”

A surprisingly forgotten gem of a psychological thriller, “Eyes of Laura Mars“ is a unique and sophisticated shocker that stands out from the normal variety of thrillers.

NYC fashion photographer Laura Mars (Faye Dunaway) is having visions where she sees through the eyes of the murderer that’s targeting the people around her. But what will she do when she sees said murderer coming after her?

“Eyes of Laura Mars” was originally based upon a screenplay by master horror director John Carpenter , which isn’t surprising considering just how imaginative and effectively frightening that this film comes off. Yet, Eyes’ isn’t just a terror film, it’s also a film of intriguing mystery, sweeping romance, and well-rounded characters. All of this adds up to an enveloping story that’s directed with flair and style by Irvin Kershner. The murder sequences pack plenty of tension, yet they aren’t gory. The NYC filming locations are fantastic and allow for some truly breath taking cinematography. While the 70’s fashions do date the film, they don’t subtract from its over all impact. The soundtrack is composed of some great disco numbers, and the theme song by Barbara Streisand is stunningly good.

The cast is perhaps the best highlight of the film though. Star Faye Dunaway is excellent as always as our understandably disturbed heroine. Tommy Lee Jones is equally excellent as the police detective who falls in love with Dunaway. Rene Auberjonois is plucky as Dunaway’s agent. Brad Dourif is good as the shifty-eyed driver, as is Raul Julia as Dunaway’s wretched ex-husband.

“Eyes of Laura Mars” is on a level above the average terror film. It’s not only thrilling, but strong enough to be emotionally devastating as well. Well worth finding for thriller and horror fans alike.

11 x 14″ printed on heavy stock paper. Used as display in theatre lobbies. Originally made in sets of eight. Some sets have a title card, which contains credits and artwork, essentially a mini-poster. The remaining seven cards are coloured photographic credits and poster artwork showing different scenes from the movie.

WINDOW CARD

STYLE Y/FORTY BY SIXTY

Since the 1980’s most posters are sent to the theatre rolled and maybe slightly smaller measuring 27″ by 40″ and with the advent of backlit light boxes a growing number of modern movie posters are available double-sided and the more traditional single-sided.

THREE-SHEET
41 x 81″ printed on paper. These were printed on two or three separate sheets designed to overlap, few survive. Used for larger advertising spaces, normally posted on walls, perfect for huge movie theatres the drive-in, where people could see them from a distance. From the 1970’s on, three-sheets were sometimes printed in one piece and issued as “international” versions to be used abroad.
