Third Poster Analysis


Drag me to hell is a US movie released in 2009, it is a thriller horror film, from around the same time period as A Haunted House.
The main image on the poster is of the victim in the film; you can only see the outline of the female victim so gives hardly anything away so the viewers are more on edge when they watch the full movie. The victim looks in danger as she is in a grave which shows than during the film she may die.
The colours in the poster are dominantly green which shows that the film has a sci-fi aspect to it but it doesn’t as the film is about An old women putting a curse on the victim which will send her to hell in a few days’ time so the main colours should be blue to suggest that it’s a super natural film instead of a green sci-fi film.
The fonts of the text on the poster are big and bold so stand out on the poster they are also crooked to make them look like they have been written by a mad person (usually the killer in horror films) the text of the 2 main actors in the film are written on the floor of the grave which may suggest that these 2 characters die as their names are portrayed like they are written on a coffin in the grave.

The target audience of this film would be for an older generation as there are no notable killers in the film and hardly any blood or gore so is more for a Sunday afternoon viewing rather than a late night Friday viewing.
