This film poster portrays an easy way of identifying the film as a horror such as the title ‘DEVIL’ who lives in hell and feared by a lot of people. The film poster also contains many of the elements to make up the formula. For example, the icon on this film poster is very symbolic for worshippers of the devil that don’t believe in Christ by having this cross upside-down facing the direction of hell, leading into the title of ‘DEVIL’. · This symbol stands for the main ideas and themes of the genre as the bleeming red light is going down, like the victims in the lift, and also in the direction of hell.

The audience can easily identify this film poster as horror as a lot of horror movie posters contain images of torture, pain and discomfort. This also contains elements of the formula such as the victim in the image. In every horror movie there is always a victim that is being tortured, chased after or trying to escape. The look of this poster is important as it is showing the audience directly the kind of gruesome images that are going to be in the film, which can create a kind of thrill.
I also looked onto the itunes movie trailer website which contained all genres of movie trailers, including horror where there were hundreds to look at.
