More Movie Posters featuring Maze and Labyrinth Artwork

It has been awhile since I wrote about The 10 Best Maze Themed Movie Posters, but I keep watching maze and labyrinth movies and new movies keep coming out, so there are new movie posters to review with maze/labyrinth artwork. Let’s take a look at some new posters that I’ve found and see if any are worthy of making the top 10 list !

11 more maze and labyrinth posters


Please Hold (2020)

If you have not yet seen this sci-fi short film, I recommend it. Here is a link to my review which will remind you of a Black Mirror episode. The poster features a hallway that has carpeting in the design of a maze. It fits the story and looks great.

Mister Organ (2022)
A documentary from New Zealand that is described as a “true story of psychological warfare” on IMBD. And the poster features the silhouette of a man’s heads profile made from a maze.

Tenet (2020)

The film received a new poster for its re-release on IMAX, and it just so happens to feature a square spiral labyrinth !

Woman in the Maze (2023)

Now I heard the title of this movie and immediately knew I needed to see the poster. And….where is the maze ? And then a few months later I noticed it is glowing in the background (green) but obscured but the woman’s many faces.

The Maze (1997)

If anyone can locate this movie - I have wanted to see as soon as I heard it stars Giancarlo Esposito. The poster is interesting. I like the maze aspect and wonder if the low quality imagery is actually on purpose ?

Labyrinth (2002)

A Serbian film that does not feature David Bowie or any puppets, instead it is about a man haunted by the death of his friend. Cool poster. The dark shadows work.

Lady Labyrinth (2017)

This short film is about a woman walking labyrinths to meditate. Nice spiral labyrinth.

Labyrinths: Laberintos (2017)

An eating disorder documentary. The poster is similar to Mister Organ above.

With streaming services television shows now have posters that serve as their promotional page. Here are a few tv shows that fit this category I had never come across before:

Tangle (2009-12)

This tv show is about 2 generations of families. It features a hedge maze.

Dark Labyrinths of the Past (2013)

A woman wakes up with amnesia after waking in the forest after a fight with her husband. Cool maze in the snow on the poster !

The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015)

This movie keeps giving great posters. This one I had never seen before and I love it with a labyrinth shaped maze.

So are any of these good enough for the top 10 list ?

I like the new The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, Dark Labyrinths of the Past and maybe Please Hold.

The 10 Best Maze Themed Movie Posters

I review any movie that features a maze or labyrinth. So far that means over 80 reviews and includes some all time great movies. If you are wondering what the best of these movies are, check out this post detailing the top 12 maze movies of all time. I think you will pleasantly surprised just how great and iconic some of these movie are ! Can you guess the #1 movie ?

In this post, I keep with the maze movie theme but pay tribute to the movie posters that promote movies. The best maze and labyrinth movies don’t always have the best ‘maze’ graphics on their posters. In fact, some very average movies have really cool posters with mazes in them. When researching this post I came across a rabbit hole website. That is a website so cool that you can’t stop spending time on it and suddenly 5 minutes becomes an hour. Fair warning. The website is dedicated to movie posters, and it allows you to search for any movie any find it’s poster variations. It is called Impawards. Click later…you might not come back.

I used the site after finding multiple variations of posters for the 2019 movie Into the Labyrinth. My initial poster did not have any maze designs so I was naturally interested in the variations that did feature a maze. Anyway, that became a rabbit hole when I started to search some of the other 50+ maze movies I have reviewed.

Let’s get to the artwork. I narrowed down the top 10 from a first pass group of 21 posters that caught my eye. Some movies have multiple posters on the list, and every single poster contains either a maze or a labyrinth. I hope you enjoy this. Click on any title to read my review of the movie and watch it’s trailer.

#10 READY PLAYER ONE (2018) (IMDB) (PRIME VIDEO)

Wait, didn’t you just say each poster would contain either a maze or a labyrinth ? I did. It does. What makes this poster great is the fact that it looks like a pretty typical adventure/science fiction movie poster, but it has a hidden maze. Do you see it ?

Ready Player One movie poster

How about I show you an alternative poster that shows it more clearly:

That’s right, the start of the maze is on the left side of R in Ready, with the goal the egg located in the middle of the O in One. Easy to miss. And yes, this is a solvable maze !

#9 ANDRON (2015) (IMDB) (AMAZON)

This is a terrible movie. Yes, it has a name you know, Alec Baldwin. Yes, the poster and movie have a labyrinth/maze theme. The idea is strong and interesting, but the execution was just not there, except for the poster ! Very Sci-fi looking with a group of people heading towards the center of what looks like an icy labyrinth. We have an intriguing tagline - “Only One Survives”. An alternative version of the poster replaces the spaceship with pictures of the cast, including Baldwin, but this version is the stronger of the two.

#8 INTO THE LABYRINTH (2020) (IMDB) (AMAZON)

The film that inspired this blog post makes it’s debut on the list with this character focused poster. The story takes place in 2 locations and these are our 2 leading roles in those locations. Obviously, you probably know Dustin Hoffman the star for promoting this film. The poster features a circular maze in the background with 2 other characters from the movie. No that is not Donnie Darko, but yes it is a large rabbit.

#7 MAZE RUNNER THE DEATH CURE (2018) (IMDB) (PRIME)

It will not surprise you that The Maze Runner movies would be part of this list. Here is the first entry. An action poster featuring our characters running from the baddies with maze imagery on the side of the paths. I also like the tagline “Every Maze Has An End”.

Maze Runner the Death Cure movie poster

#6 INTO THE LABYRINTH (2020) (IMDB) (AMAZON)

Our first double entry (but not our last). This is my preferred version of this movies movie poster. It focuses on one half of the story and has a slightly larger maze features in the background. It looks more ominous and makes me want to see the movie !

Into the Labyrinth movie poster

#5 LABYRINTH (1986) (IMDB) (PRIME VIDEO)

Of all the movies on the list this was the most difficult to choose the best poster from. I had 4 different versions that I liked, including a cool Japanese one. In the end I didn’t pick the most iconic one you are most familiar with. Instead I picked this version featuring the castle in the center of a green maze that looks somewhat like a hedge maze.

Labyrinth movie poster characters version

The 3 additional posters are all honorable mention for this list, so let’s go ahead and look at them now. The first is the most iconic, featuring David Bowie as the Goblin King and a maze for the background. The second is a Spanish language version of the poster featuring the characters around the center scene. There is a small maze leading to the castle at the top of this poster also. And in the Japanese version we get a completely different look (that almost does not fit the movie IMO with the red/pink coloring) with a large white maze covering the top of the poster.

#4 THE MAZE RUNNER (2014) (IMDB) (PRIME VIDEO)

This is the version of the poster that I have seen most often. A group of individuals running in between moss covered walls in a giant maze.

The Maze Runner movie poster

#3 OXYGEN (2021) (IMDB)

We have a Netflix exclusive movie on the list ! Welcome. It is a French science fiction film and this is the French version of the poster. It also feels like the most modern looking of the posters we have looked at so far. The maze superimposed (or reflected ?) on the eye works really well. A great design.

#2 MAZE RUNNER THE DEATH CURE (2018) (IMDB) (PRIME)

Welcome back Death Cure. This poster version features our characters hovering over their challenge. A huge maze surrounding a central city. This gives new meaning to the term fortification. We get the tagline “Every Maze Has An End” again.

Maze Runner the Death Cure movie poster

Before we get to my pick of the best movie maze poster let’s look at a few more that didn’t quite make the cut. The Exit Strategy poster features a maze as it’s background; Hell Fest has a barbed wire circular maze behind the devil; Maze features a maze background; Prisoners has many poster variations that feature mazes and some versions which feature a circular maze in the “o” of the title; The Man in the Maze has a maze background and a Man in the Maze labyrinth featured in the title; and the final example is a 3rd poster from Into the Labyrinth with a great circular maze background that didn’t make the cut only because it has no title/details like a normal movie poster. And we also have one more poster from Maze Runner: The Death Cure which features the cast in front of a maze. Click to scroll through each poster.

And now our #1 poster !

#1 THE MAZE RUNNER (2014) (IMDB) (PRIME VIDEO)

I want no part of this maze. This is my favorite poster because when I look at it and see the enormous maze in front of them that is what I think. Challenge NOT accepted. The way the maze expands out in all directions and into the horizon seems ominous.

The Maze Runner Movie Poster

And that concludes our poster contest. If you want to see where a movie is streaming I suggest using justwatch.
