Horror film poster review 3

THE UNBORN

The unborn was released in 2009, and is branded as a super natural horror thriller. The main image on the cover of this poster is a young girl; she is attractive and is dressed minimally to attract a male audience. At first the girl on the poster does not look in a danger but when you look closer you see the reflection of a male in the mirror, this shows her looking vulnerable and threatened.

The colours in this image are all dull, dark colours these colours such as black and grey are usually associated with horror films because these colours portray a scary, tense and unpredictable atmosphere.

The fonts used on this poster are gothic looking; this is used to present an old fashioned tone to the film making you think that it may introduce something from the past into modern film.

The tag line from this film is ‘Evil Will Do Anything To Live’ this shows that the film isn’t a gory film it is more psychological horror film, this is backed up by the image on the poster. It tells us that something evil is going to be waning to enter life and something bad will happen for then to go ahead.

Based on this poster this movie is targeted towards the male audience, this is obvious because the girl on the poster is overly sexualised and wearing very little clothing designed to attract male viewers.
