• Levi Strauss’ theory could also be represented in this poster as the central dominant image is of a lighter grey colour, almost trying to come forth through the darkness surrounding him, this is backed by the secondary images character that he is holding , almost trying to find his way through the darkness, and here this image could be seen as the good and the blackness as the bad.

• the effectiveness of the poster is simple but striking the audience are able to tell a story, the audience can enter either the male or women in the photo, the none use of bright colours show the importance on both character, also this poster is unconventional because there is no main celebrity being emphasized on

• The mise-en-scene, such as the costume, hair and make up, of the character suggests that they are average people. This makes the film even more scary because members of the target audience can imagine themselves in this position

• Target audience

the target audience seem like it would be for an older demographic, this is mainly because it seems like a detective horror, where your intellectual side is required more than an entertaining factor
