    Having no idea of the actual story line its quite hard to judge the mood but it seems right. I'm in two minds over the repetition of everything; on one hand it adds to the feeling of the piece but may be a little overused particularly on the left hand hill. Otherwise its all nicely blended and looks good. Text is a little too much like the books but thats probably what you were going for. Overall I like it. :)

    Very poor in my opinion.

    A movie poster is suppose to:

    a) Sell the movie
    B) Capture the essence of the movie.
    c) Tell the audience what the movie is about.

    This does none of those things. It looks more like a very bad book cover than a movie poster.


    So how can you improve?

    - Simple! if this is a real movie, watch it, or atleast understand what the movie is about.
    If it isn't a real movie, make up a brief story and capture the essence of that story.

    - Use fonts that say "HEY LOOK AT ME, IM A POSTER, READ ME!!!" the fonts used in that poster isn't good enough.

    - Don't depict a famous person's name. The name is Stephen King, not Stephen Kings.

    - Give a brief sentence or two that tells the audience whats in the film, for example,

    "The long walk, a story about a man who sets out on a journey far far away"

    something like that.
