These posters of previous psychological horror films all convey the same themes. The dark colours (black red and grey) seem to be surrounding and encasing the subject of the poster. The character on the poster are all vulnerable women, there facial expressions are scared and worried. This shows the audience how the film will unfold and who will be being haunted.
The composition of the image just takes up one area of the space, for example The Others poster takes up the left hand side and An American Haunting at the bottom. It could suggest that there is something perhaps sinister and unseen in the empty spaces. This has inspired our poster to use the same themes.
However, in other posters its the threat thats having attention drawn to it. The Shrooms poster for example is foregrounding the threat, whilst The Orphanage has it in the background.
