The Devil's Rain (1975)
What They Should Have Done: Heaven help us all when The Devil's Rain falls!
Tourist Trap (1979)
The Tagline: Every year young people disappear.
Why It's Terrible: Statistically accurate, but pretty depressing. And it doesn't offer any hint as to the film's creepy setting - a museum full of killer mannequins.
What They Should Have Done: They're no dummies.
Knowing (2009)
The Tagline: What happens when the numbers run out?
Why It's Terrible: The most specious of rhetorical questions just begs answering - economic meltdown? The end of bingo? What?
What They Should Have Done: When you run out of questions, it's time to hear the answers.
The Tooth Fairy (2006)
The Tagline: You can't handle the tooth!
Why It's Terrible: A bad pun is one thing; a bad pun based on a 14-year-old movie that the target audience won't have seen is another.
What They Should Have Done: Other posters carry the line, The Tooth Hurts, which at least makes sense.
Sex And The City 2 (2010)
The Tagline: Carrie on.
Why It's Terrible: Carrie on screaming, more like.
What They Should Have Done: Sexier. Citier.
Ondine (2009)
The Tagline: The truth is not what you know. It's what you believe.
Why It's Terrible: That's the philosophy of every nutjob in the world. Don't encourage them!

Dracula's Daughter (1936)
The Tagline: She gives you that weird feeling.
Why It's Terrible: Please clarify - which weird feeling? Good weird? Bad weird? Or just plain crazy?
What They Should Have Done: You've met the vampire. Now here's the vamp.
Basic Instinct 2 (2006)
The Tagline: Everything interesting begins in the mind.
Why It's Terrible: It sounds like the tagline to Good Will Hunting , not an erotic thriller. Everything interesting in a Basic Instinct movie begins in Sharon Stone's crotch.
What They Should Have Done: Give in to your instinct. You know you want to.
Ghost Ship (2002)
The Tagline: Sea evil.
Why It's Terrible: A pun that doesn't quite work; it feels like the sort of thing a caveman would say.
What They Should Have Done: Sailing on an ocean of blood.
