ONE MISSED CALL
Similar to the previous film poster- 'Mirrors', this poster features low key lighting, which creates a sinister and dark atmosphere, which is very stereotypical for a horror film poster. Again, there is a lack of colour on the page, the main colour being black, which suggests mystery and danger.
By having the majority of the poster being black, means that our attention is drawn to the center of the picture and therefore gives the impression he is appearing out of the darkness and shadows, suggesting that he is some sort of devil or supernatural, increasing the mystery and horror.

The title is in white, suggesting innocence and purity, which is very ironic and therefore sinister as the man in the photo looks like none of these things. It could therefore suggest that his victims are innocent and pure and therefore creates a creepy atmosphere, making the audience very vulnerable.
As well as this, the title seems to glow off the page, further supporting this idea of his victims being innocent. Following on from this, red has been used for the tag line, which has connotations of danger and blood, consequently making the audience very apprehensive, especially as the tag line is a rhetorical question, which engages the audience with the man.

Likewise from the previous poster I have analysed, this poster also uses a close up shot. This person is also looking directly into the camera, as well as this, he is holding his phone up, suggesting that he is ringing you and therefore makes it very personal and intensifies the sinister atmosphere already created from engaging the audience with the rhetorical question.
The close up photo used for the poster, also creates a uncomfortable frame, as at first look, it appears to look like his eyes are largely abnormal, however, looking closer you can see that they are two mouths. This therefore plays tricks on the audience and gives the poster certain aspects of it being a physchological thriller.
These screaming mouths suggest that he is in control and could also imply that as the mouths are in substitute for his eyes, they could be reflecting what he is looking at, creating a terrifying image.
The photo of the man shows him smiling, which creates a sinister atmosphere, as he looks welcoming, but clearly he is not, this could therefore suggest that he is trying to entice you and draw you in.
