"The Collector" Film Poster Analysis

This poster is from the film 'The Collector'

I think the darkness of the poster sets a mysterious atmosphere, as there is limited view of our surroundings. The setting of the house makes the viewer more worried as it is a relatable atmosphere.

The fact we cannot see the persons' face is a common Psychological Thriller trait, as it leaves a sense of mystery and fear as to who the assuming murderer is.

I like the use of bold red text for the film title, as it stands out very clearly from the background which is prodominantly black and grey

The film poster also includes 'FROM THE WRITERS OF SAW IV, I & VI'.

This would set a standard of what is expected from the film from audiences of the other films the writer has been involved with.

They also include a rating at the top of the poster, trying to show critics have watched the film and rated it four stars out of five. The rating is also from 'Empire' magazine, which is a magazine aimed at the same target audience of the film.

Overall, I think this is a very effective film poster!
