Examples.
The Rum Diary. Posters with Depp as Thompson in a messy hotel room, which is exactly what the film is.

OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED.
The Prestige poster. Bale and Jackman against a swirling background that echoes the mind bending nature of the film.

One of the year's best films, Drive. Gosling looking patient, cold and thoughtful with the cool pink text with the film title.

DVD/BD cover has fake photoshopped blood, the already iconic scorpion on Gosling's jacket is no longer a huge piece on the back of his coat, but a tiny logo on the front, and the whole thing looks like a rejected Fast and Furious cover.
