Comparing two movies posters in the same genre as my film. "Horror"


I chose these two films to compare as they are both very eye catching and straight away indicate what the films genre is (horror). Both posters use a vey effective picture which to me tells me thats what the film is about, in the poster on the left a axe is the main attraction on the poster as the background is dark so their is more attention on the axe. By the axe being made "centre of attention" Iwould presume the film is about somone killing people with an axe. On the other poster a large man tying a mask at the back of his head is the main attention in the poster and the fact that their is behind the shoulder shot of a house lit up. Its easy to presume this film is about a "mad man" going in to house and tourturing people who live their. So in terms of simalarities they both use dark back ground to ehance the picture more. They both use bold texts so the name of the film is easily indentified. However i think "The Collector" poster is more interesting and would be more exciting to watch then "Hatchet" because just by looking at both posters their is a contrast of colour in The Collecter poster and draws your attention more then the othe poster and makes it stand out more. Aswell as the the title of the film Collecter has lines going through it which to me says it definantly not a clean film and will be grusome however Hatchet is a clear, clean font which makes the film not seem very scary.
