We're calling it: these are the worst movie posters of 2023

It might seem a bit early to call the worst movie posters of 2023 considering that we're only halfway through the year. But we've already seen four designs that were so bad, we can confidently say that nobody can do any worse... can they?

From terrible Photoshop to... well, even more terrible Photoshop, we've seen posters with odd compositions, mismatched lighting and faces that look like they could have been made using an AI art generator. We'll see if the second half of the year brings even worse design crimes, but, for now, this is our pick of the worst film posters of the year.
