Poster Design Brief

I need a poster for a film I haven't made yet. It needs to be graphic, since I haven't shot yet. The concept of the film is a group of college kids go on a research trip to a small town in wine country, only to discover an ancient creature has been reborn and has taken over the townspeople. The group realizes they are the only thing standing between the creatures spreading and taking over the world.

I've done some mockup poster work for other projects using silhouettes and such. I'm including a few as examples. Key elements you can use to represent in the poster might be A) a vague suggestion of a creature, B) vineyard fields, C) stoic, unemotional townspeople D) a small town main street at night, E) our main 4 characters, etc. You don't have to include all of these, but some of them.

I'm also adding my visual pitch package so you can see some images that suggest the spirit of the film. Note that none of these are actual images so don't use them particularly.

To recap: the three added files are:

Archaic Pitch package - reference for story and sample images
Archaic poster - bad temporary poster I did, but it doesn't imply enough of the story to work.
My Secret Zoo poster - sample of a design I like, meaning graphic and silhouettes
Creature still - a rough idea of the creature, but I do not want to show this. If you use it, it should only be a vague suggestion.
