The film Trick ‘r Treat was released in 2007 and was produced by Americans. This horror film is also a comedy and a thriller.
The image suggests that children may be involved within this film, or that a child’s toy has been possessed. The mask over the child’s head suggests that it is not human, but when looking at the hands it suggests that it once was. The image shows that the protagonist is in an enclosed, isolated location, this could suggest that the film is a thriller.
The overall colour of the poster is red, it ranges from dark to light, this could also suggest that the film will be a thriller. The colour red is iconic within horror films, but the image and slogan suggest that the horror film has other genres included such as aspects of the thriller genre. When looking at the image I cannot see anything that would relate towards the film containing comical aspects, this could be because they wanted the film to be a serious film, rather than a film like Scary Movie.
The title looks like it has been burnt into the paper; this could suggest that fire is the main element within the film.
The selling line rhymes, this could be a reflection of a nursery rhyme and therefore link children into the plot. It could also suggest that the main protagonist is a child and is the one of the main characters within the story line.
Although it looks like we are looking down on the protagonist in the image, he/she is holding a very strong posture, therefore reflecting confidence which is a trait of a good killer.
The font used for the title is quite thin, but the colours help to make the title one of the main focal points on the poster. The font could be thin to suggest someone dragging their nail down a wall, or someone burning it into a wall using a thin utensil. The font used for the selling line is quite authentic and bold, this could reinforce the confidence within the main protagonist.
