Movie Poster: Behind the Cabin Door

The objective of this project was to create a movie poster based on an assigned storyline and genre (horror, super natural):

A young girl is kidnapped and chained to a potbelly stove in a remote cabin, where she slowly starves to death while her captor forages for food. After the kidnapper is killed by a grizzly bear, distant relatives inherit the property and, hoping to sell it quickly, decide to bury the girl’s remains under the cabin floor, fearing it will ruin the sale. But the girl’s vengeful spirit lingers.

Her ghost torments the new owner, causing him severe burns and blinding him in one eye. He flees but breaks his leg, returning to the cabin in terror, only to be further tortured. In desperation, he sets the cabin on fire, hoping someone will rescue him. A final struggle with the ghost results in him being impaled by a flying weapon. A ranger’s crew investigates the fire, discovering the burnt cabin and the man’s body, with the girl’s remains beneath him.
