Cannes: Have We Found the Next Sharknado?
It sounds weird to say that Sharknado was discovered at the Cannes Film Festival, but that’s exactly what happened last year when intrepid journalists happened upon its incredible poster deep in the Marché du Film. While you may know Cannes as a place where art cinema is worshiped, in the basement floor underneath the Palais des Festivals, merchants at the Marche du Film are hawking the sort of movies that star Eric Roberts, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and all their foreign equivalents. What weird and wild posters did Vulture find there this year? Click through, and let us know which one you think could be the next cult hit.

Drop everything. DID THIS MAN GIVE BIRTH TO A FERRET? What sort of premises are they dreaming up in Germany? Some internet sleuthing reveals that the actual plot is only a little bit less provocative than I'd thought/feared — it's about "a 30-something whose greatest desire is to finally settle down and start a family until an attack on his manhood by his flatmate’s ferret renders him unable to have children" — but at least it doesn't involve human/ferret sex-having, which was my alternate "let's hope not" takeaway from this poster.
I mean, this looks cute and all, but after the one with the ferret, I am very worried about where that monkey may have come from and what she's doing ...

Ian Ziering, you had your day. It's time for Shannen Doherty to get her piece of this camp-on-purpose pie, and she is going to do it with a horror movie about… mouth piranhas, maybe? I would have liked more clarity, Shannen. Give me animal-name portmanteaus in the title or nothing at all. (Ed. note -- In the U.S., this movie is airing on Animal Planet Sunday, May 18, and is about killer lampreys. I only know this because I just threw out the press kit yesterday.)
Not totally sure what is going on here, but this is what you get when you let Jaden Smith's Twitter write your tagline.

Listen, I am all for a movie that examines the beauty privilege that certain ghosts have (I'm looking at you, Patrick Swayze), but can we count on this movie to deliver? I would settle for a tagline that I thought I understood.

To judge from this poster, Happy Slapping involves neither happiness nor slapping. Discuss.
You think a millionaire dog is cute until he starts voting Republican to keep taxes on the upper-class down. Then who's cute?
These bitches voted for Romney, too.

Awesome premise, poster, and tagline. Serious 10/10s here. Why is this not in the Cannes competition lineup?

The tagline to this movie: "You buy… you die… It's a bad day to be a Russian tourist in Finland." As far as horror topics go, they don't get much more regionally specific than that.
What would happen if they put Chris Klein in North by Northwest? I'm just speaking hypothetically here.
At least when you're dealing with a ghost dog, you've already skipped past the sad part from Marley & Me.
They do Mean Girls super differently overseas.
Not to be confused with Roombies, where the disc-shaped undead will vacuum up human brains instead of potato chip crumbs.
Wood pun! Wood work all around.
