"The Devil's Rejects" Poster Analysis



Text: angled, fits with background, all uppercase showing emphasis on title, unconventional title placement, red and white
Image: movement, iconography (guns & blood), unusual for the woman to stand on the outside as the men will usually protect the women

Background: hot, reflects area the film is set in, mainly yellow, orange, black, unusually bright for a horror film poster

Colour: although image & background are coloured and bright, they show heavy shadow, showing contrast between the plot and the warm setting

Selling Line: none

Reflection upon the plot: limited, although directly addresses the film ending.  Despite the characters wearing plain clothing, they are not plain characters.  As the background is a road, the idea of being ''on the run'' is put forward.  Features no selling line, but instead a review.
