This is the only other text on the poster aside from the movie title. The fact there is no ‘catchphrase’ or some type of text to add to the poster shows that the actors/actresses in this movie are known. Known actors/actresses will encourage some of the public to go see the movie if they are fans of the actors etc. so putting the names in big at the top of the page is a quiet way of advertising the film.

This woman looks scared /worried; this is a stereotypical facial emotion for a character to have in a horror movie and it portrays to the public that whatever happens to her is very concerning. In contrast, the woman is not crying or hurt which portrays a tough side to her; this shows her as a non-stereotypical woman and would intrigue the audience as it’s not the ‘norm’. The woman is also ‘eye-candy’ for viewers therefore encouraging them to watch it.

The image entails a ‘sepia’ effect; the effect is quite dark and almost fire like with the orange/ brown colour used. Both darkness and fire relate to horror.

This face completes the poster; although the colour, the dark forest and the woman’s facial expression connote to danger/horror, it does not portray an exciting, nerve wrecking horror, whereas this face gives the scary element to it that it needs. Having only half of the face helps to not give away too much of the character so the viewers don’t end up being almost ‘comfortable’ with the face they’re going to see. The half face effect also conveys a sense of mystery and  not being in the know; the character is almost hidden in the shadows which could foreshadow what he will be like in the movie – hidden however could jump out at you at any moment.

The colour is a light red which amplifies the title as it is against a dark background. The title has been placed in a way that makes the letters look out of place and wonky; this could relate to the word ‘wrong’ but could also be representing the messiness of this movie and how it isn't your usual film.
