The Last Exorcism


The Last Exorcism is an American 2010 mockumentary horror film about a girl who's become possessed by the devil.

The main object in the centre of the frame, is the little girls, who's clinging to the wall like some sort of spider. This adds a uneasy feeling to the poster. The girls shadow is also a prominent figure of the poster, as it takes up a large amount of room. The girls face is mostly concealed by shadow,this adds a sense of mystery to the trailer. The girl is also dressed all in white, which is a change from the stereotypical black, which the villains usually wear, although since the girl is being possessed she could still be technically be the villain.

The colours of the poster, are mainly very plain and bleak, this also adds to the horror element of the film, the room also looks very gritty and horrible, which adds to the mood of the film even more.

The Last Exorcism is in a horror style font, this again adds to the mood of the film, we can tell this by the way it is distorted and rather creepy looking. 

The tag line, "if you believe in God, You must believe in the devil" points at it being a film with religious and satanic themes, which would coincide with the reputation of the 'Exorcism' Films.

The names of the Directors and other key staff are in red, whilst all of the other font is in black, this makes the key names stand out more, possibly attracting more of an audience, while also crediting the actors and key talent.
