2. POSTER
As you can see the film title is exactly the same
size as most of the reviews. This is because small
indie films will struggle to make a profit or get
people to watch their film without advertising their
great reviews.
Straight away we can also see that this film is
going to be about war due to the costume and
props that are used by this character.
3. STORYLINE
A young British soldier is accidentally abandoned by his unit following
a terrifying riot on the streets of Belfast in 1971. Unable to tell friend
from foe, the raw recruit must survive the night alone and find his
way to safety through a disorienting, alien and deadly landscape.
