and the other half is her face
with blood splashed on it.
The typography of the title is a
very large font with a scratch
going through the centre of it
and blood at the bottom of it
compliments the genre of the
film. This typography is also
easy for the audience to read.
On this poster we can see the
date when the film comes out

on that day.
