This film poster has been taken from the 2012 film ‘Sinister’. The film involves a male crime writer who after moving into a new home finds home videos of a serial killer. This has terrifying affects for him and his family. The image is a side profile long shot of a female. The woman appears to be in pyjamas with bare hands and feet which expresses a certain vulnerability of the character. The woman appears to be walking off show which trails blood stains across the image. Within the ‘blood’ are fingerprints which add the concept of realism and overall eerie feel. Within the blood also is a face which could relates back to the murder and gore theme of the film. The hand on the wall also creates a juxtaposition of her innocence and the blood. Her body language also conveys that she is walking to something or someone. Which can be supported by the tag line ‘’Once you see him, nothing can save you.’’
