horror poster analysis

Forget me not Horror/Thriller (2009) This film poster shows that again we can see the stereotypical female victim. The fact that she is being faded away shows that she is almost undoubtedly going to be who they kill off in the film and i think this works really well. Not only is she being faded away but she is turning into dust which could also been thought as being ash from her after she dies which gives off the subtle key theme of death. The easy thing about seeing that she is going to be the female victim is because she is a young, good looking female and this is a key thing that we repeatedly see within horror films of this kind. The fact that her eye is white is almost like it is being rolled back this gives off that idea of possession and being taken into a bad state of mind. Although we could connote that the white also shows her purity because white is a colour that we connect with purity and innocence in which we may think of this young female being. The photo used for this poster is not all that flattering for the young female but again shows her distress. The background of this poster is just dull and boring but then it shows the importance of the main character without giving too much away. I also think that the photo of the girl is like a mugshot showing that maybe she has done something wrong.
