The poster analyses a horror movie poster with the following key points: 1) The colour scheme is dark and gloomy with reds, blacks, and greys to portray anger, mystery and evil. 2) The main image shows a man with red eyes looking down, suggesting power over his victim holding an axe, while the rising sun implies his defeat. 3) The tagline "you can't run from evil when it lives next door" warns not to trust neighbors and that danger could be close.

2. Colour:
The colour scheme used is very dull and stereotypical colours used for a horror
poster. The use of the dark reds and blacks and greys shows the anger and
mystery behind it. The red eyes are very powerful with the black outline making
them stand out more. If you look at them long enough it gets to the point where
you feeling they are looking right into you to scare you. Main image:

4. Colour:
The colour scheme is very grey and dark which gives the sense of darkness and evil amongst the
film, and also shows no light colours on the poster at all which takes away any positive emotions
towards the film so the audience know straight away this film isn’t going to be a happy story
