This poster instantly indicates the Horror and Thriller. The white background makes the pale hand stand out. This makes clear to the audience that the main focus of the movie is the gore. The hand is smudged with dried blood, with a series of splatters on the floor. The shot looks neat and tidy, and there’s no other main focus to steal your attention besides the titles.
The titles are written in a blotchy font, with odd lines and scratches. This alone gives the gorey and bloody imagery for the poster. We can tell automatically that violence, and gore will be present from beginning to end.
The bottom row of production companies focus on the horror and thriller elements. Twisted Pictures which also do ‘Repo! The Genetic Opera’ give the audience an example of what to expect.
