DRAG ME TO HELL | MY BLOODY VALENTINE |
· Some of the text on the poster is white and the credits are in orange to tie in with the flames and the burning connotation. · The victim on in the image is blonde which is a convention that many horror movies follow. The convention of using a blonde woman as the main victim connotes that she is stupid and ‘dumb’. · In most horror movies the blonde female has a nice life and a nice job which ties in with the text. ‘Christine has a good job…boyfriend’ the white text may tie in with the purity and that everything is perfect. The fact that she has hands around her coming from the fire is a direct link to the films name ‘Drag me to hell’. · Drag Me to Hell, is a paranormal film, which is why it has satanic references in the title and also with the hands coming from the ‘depths of hell’ | · MBV has a red title, which links in with the blood and the lexis ‘valentine’ which means it could be about valentines day, however, as it is clearly a horror film because of the axe being used, it is a juxtaposition, as it has nothing much to do with the normal connotations of valentines day. · The poster is very mysterious as you cannot see the people’s faces, as they are covered up with gas masks. · My Bloody Valentine is classed as a slasher horror, you can see this as not only is the film in 3D with an axe coming outward, you can tell by the red theme and also the red text. |
