This is the poster for Drag Me to Hell which was released in
2009 in the USA. The main image on the poster is a women being dragged down in
flames by three un-human hands. As the woman is being dragged down into the
flames this shows that she is the female victim, this is also goes with generic
horror convention of the female victim mostly being blonde. The colours in this
are mainly dull apart from the flames; I think this has been done so that the
flames contrast well with the rest of the poster. The girl’s clothes are grey
which suggest a balance between innocence and bad. The fonts are simplistic on
this poster are in white; I think this was done so that it doesn't draw
attention away from the main picture but still stand out against the flames.
The tag line on this poster in’ Christine Brown has a good job, great boyfriend
and bright future. But in three days, she’s going to hell’. This tag line is
like a brief summary of the film but doesn't give away much detail, I think
this is a good tag line as it draws the audience in as you want to find out why
she is being dragged to hell. Because of the title it suggest this film could
contain a religious aspect, this also could be why the hands are dragging the
girl via her necklace.
