poster is distorted. The
distorted text suggests
the theme that the film
isn’t as it seems and
that there is a twist in
the film. This is
because distortion
represents
exaggeration which
makes the film appear
different from the way it
really is.
Catch Line:

home’ have no connection to viewer because they have not seen the film. This is effective
watching the film so they can unveil the secrets of the cover line.

protagonist is commonly used on
horror film posters as it tends to
leave an element of mystery
surrounding the antagonist and
therefore entices the viewer to
want to learn more.
Cast:
The poster has put important cast
members on the trailer to make it
appeal to viewers. This is
because these two actors are
famous and are well respected
so it is more appealing to viewers

are guaranteed a good film.

The title consumes the
poster to make it stand
out visually to the
audience to ensure the
viewer reads it. The text

scratched in to the
poster. This is effective
as it conveys the idea
that the film is un-
natural and this is
suggested through the
use of distorted text.
Mask:
The mask has used a
animal for the mask to
convey the idea that the
film is un-natural and
that the antagonist is
almost in-humane
making him and the film
come across very
mysterious and dark.
