Taking a look at the 31st Oporto International Film Festival poster, I can clearly see that it's promoting the creepy horror category of the program.
A dismembered hand with blood spewing out is enough to make me queasy, and is one of many reasons why I don't watch scary movies. But using the blood to draw out the iconic Facebook Like button with the hand giving it a thumbs up is a lighthearted approach that makes me feel reassured that the 31st Oporto International Film Festival has something for everyone. Even for the 'fraidy cats like me.
