Horror Poster Analysis (2)


   This supernatural horror/thriller film was made in 2012. Its country of origin is the United States.
   The predominant picture is a controversial image because the young girl in the photo is both the victim and the villain in the film. She was an innocent girl, but was taken over by an ancient demon, which converted her into the demon/killer.       This is shown by the hand possessing her from the inside out. This is also supported by the tag line ‘darkness lives inside’.
   The colours of the image are pale and bland, creating a draining and lifeless look which, reflects the feelings of the girl. The title of the film (The Possession) is white which symbolizes the innocence the girl has taken away from her. The line through it represents it being gotten rid of. The date the film was released is in red to connote danger. The fonts used are jagged and rough, which induces the feelings within the film itself.
   By stating the film is based on a true story encourages the audience to watch it and find out what happens. An illusion of reality means the film will intrigue more audience members, rather than something obviously untrue.
