Is there more than
one image? Why?
Only one strong image as two images would be less effective and take away the impact of this image.
Layout
Main image is central slightly to the right. Essential information and film title is to the left. This gives an even composition.
Colour Scheme
Black, red and white colour scheme. This is a generic colour scheme for horror films and posters.

Tagline
Raises many questions on who is it? and what has it forgiven and what wont it forget? It is simple but very effective to entice the audience with questions. They will go and see the film to find out the answers.
