  1. This is a generic thriller film poster for the movie 'Hide and Seek.' I think this is effective for a thriller style movie as dark colours like black & red are used which adds to the mystery & enigma of the film. If you look closely you can see that there is a man standing at the end of the character but you cannot see him clearly which again, creates an element of mystery. It also introduces the idea of voyeurism, making us feel as we are being watched or stalked, which is an uncomfortable feeling. This is reinforced by the fact that the poster is a point of view shot, so we feel involved. The bold font: 'come out come out whatever you are' is frightening as it makes you feel you are being hunted down.
