Choosing imagery that best sums up a film – like a map of the mall for Dawn of the Dead, a shower curtain rod for Psycho and carnival gates for Zombieland – Owen effortlessly captures the plot.
A single pair of cracked eyeglasses leaves no doubt as to which film it’s representing in the case of A Christmas Story. Others, conceived as diagrams, get just a tiny bit more complex while still providing as little information as possible.
