They Wait - Film Poster Analysis


The reason that I chose this film poster is because it's main poster is of a child and the film itself is a drama that contains ghosts and is about setting things right.

1. The picture shows the person crying blood. Blood and red are there for pain and danger. This shows that this is horrofic in some way.

2. The font is all in captials, it has a red stroke round the edge to make the text stand out and to warn of danger with whatever is waiting. They appears to be an opaque set of Chinese lettering behind the main letters. This could be a hint as to a Chinese force being what is waiting.

3. Here you can see there looks like the person's spine, which looks really injured. It makes the person looked trapped and maybe paralysed from other forces. The rest of the bottom of the poster appears old and worn, giving detail of the supernatural force in the movie being something ancient.

4. Here you can see the lips of the person sewn up, it makes it looks not only horrific but again like the person has no power or control to do what they like or should natural be able to do.

5. Here you can see the eyes of the person, therby knowing that they are alive and not dead. The fact that this person still shows life makes the poster more suited for the horror genre due to the fact that a live person is being treated this way.
