I really like this cover as it is a simple concept gives the viewer a good idea of what the film is about. The fact that there are two images of the man suggests he has two personalities or that there are two sides to his story. It also links back to surrealism as it seems dreamlike and calm however the mysterious eyes appear through the main image, seemingly spying upon the viewer. The disjointed text that the title and sub-heading is written in brings a sense of confusion and informality which is enhanced by a similar part-transparent coded design that is seen across the whole poster.
There is a small element of red in the title which connotes blood and danger but as it is not the most prominent part of the poster, you feel as if murder or death is in the film itself.
There is more text on this poster however it does not distract you from the powerful imagery above. - Use simple imagery to good effect
- Use the title font to help convey the genre
- Minimal colour is equally effective
