🖼️ The Fury (1978) — Original UK Quad Poster (Red Border Style)

Brian De Palma’s Psychic Horror Classic — First Release**

A striking and highly sought-after original 1978 UK Quad for Brian De Palma’s The Fury, featuring the distinctive red border and photo montage design unique to this variant. This first-release poster blends stark monochrome illustration with key stills from the film, placing Amy Irving’s terrified face at the centre — a visual echo of the film’s explosive psychic themes.

Printed for the movie’s initial UK theatrical run, this quad carries the X certificate, an important marker for collectors of vintage UK horror posters. The red border makes this style especially displayable and instantly recognisable compared to the darker minimal-style quad. Both versions were issued in 1978, but the red-border montage design remains the more dynamic and graphically dramatic of the two.
