The Backwards Movie Posters by Twisted Sifter imagine what films would be like if one were to watch them in reverse. The backwards film fad began a few years ago but this is the first time that the concept has been transformed into poster form.
While ‘JAWS’ is one of the best thrillers of all time, it’s a much more peaceful film when watched in reverse. According to the creators, the plot is “about a shark that keeps throwing up people until they have to open a beach.” ‘127 Hours’ had movie-goers on the edge of their seats waiting to see if James Franco could escape; however in reverse the movie becomes a story about a “disabled man who finds an arm in the desert, attaches it and discovers a love for biking," as the poster reads.
These Backwards Movie Posters are extremely clever and hilarious.
