Devil's Advocate Poster.


Devil's Advocate is a American horror film, starting Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino. In which Reeves plays up and coming lawyer who is aided by the Devil, played by Pacino.

The back ground of red fires swirling is synonymous with the Christian description of Hell, as a fiery waste land.

Pacino's character is standing over Reeve's character showing that he is at a higher status than Reeve. He also  has his arms around Reeves to show that he's pulling the strings so to speak.

Both characters are giving the gaze which immediately connects with the viewers of the posters.

Pacino and Reeves' are both wearing suits in the poster, this shows authority and power. 

The poster has kept to a singular colour scheme with the main colours being red and white, which the only things that are white is the text and the main characters them selves, the poster is also heavily centralised, showing nothing towards the sides.

The Font is also quite gothic which again ties in with the Christian view of Hell and the Devil.
