- This film poster is very eye catching as it has a mysterious and spooky feel to it. The edges of the poster are very dark with the light focusing on the centre of the image, making the image the direct focus of the poster; your eyes are automatically drawn to the image.
- Like many other posters that I have looked at the image of the poster gets the audience thinking. You can see that the character is a human, but they are wearing what looks like a metal mask and carrying a sword and along with the fact that the lighting is dim, the audience are intrigued to find out more about the character and want to know his purpose in the film. The character in the image has very neutral body language and this is unsettling to the audience because it creates fear as you don’t know the full extent of his evilness.
- The woods in the background of the image is a typical setting for a horror film, so this instantly getting the audience scared as the woods have connotations of fear with unknown creatures and terrible events occurring. The woods are also in dim lighting with the effect of fog or smoke around, this is adding to the suspense of the unexpected.
- The title is in a ‘blood’ red colour. The colour red alone has connotations of danger, fear and blood so using this colour as the main colour on the poster of a horror film is very effective. The title stands out as the rest of the colours on the page are dull and dark colours so your eyes are drawn to the title, making it memorable.
