The set pictures for The Black Dahlia, Brian De Palma's latest film, carry stern warnings of adult content, and I don't mean for sexual content. For those of you who don't know the film is based around the infamous and brutal murder of a young woman in the 1940's.

The story looks at the police investigation and the revelation of a conspiracy and cover up (they make the best movies), and stars Josh Hartnett, Scarlett Johansson, Hilary Swank and Aaron Eckhart to name but a few, and is adapted from a James Ellroy novel.

Before you go and look at the set pictures I shall warn you, the image on the top row in the middle is stunningly realistic and very unnerving. It features the recreation of the brutalised corpse atop a coroners table with the stars around it, and it's very realistic and very disturbing.

There, I don't think I could have made that warning any stronger. Luckily the image is in a thumbnail, so you won't get too much detail if you don't look at it. The pictures can be found at Kineo Express through Arrow in the Head.

Aside from that one photo, the rest give a glorious feel of 1940's, and with De Palma at the helm I'm sure we're in for a great ride.
