Film Poster: The Uninvited!


  • The colour scheme for this poster is very effective. Having a black and white colour scheme automatically gives a suspicious feel to the film and initially sets the genre so the audience know to expect a horror film. Black and white colours also give a sense of mystery as you don't know what to expect from the film; a typical convention of horror films.
  • The bars in the foreground of the shot give the effect of a window shutting something out and linking to the title 'Uninvited' they don't want the mysterious creature to come in. In the background of the shot there is the scene of a haunted woods; a setting which is again typical of horror films. This again links to the creature being 'Uninvited' as it makes the intruder seem as if they are outside maybe being looked at from the victim who is inside on the opposite side of the window.
  • The image is very central and is what the audience are instantly drawn to. The image is unidentified as you can't clearly see the face of the person/creature and the audience are left wondering what it could be and what things is it capable of.
