The Amityville Horror Poster Deconstruction

The colours of the poster are very dark and mysterious; there is a house which looks haunted highlighted with the effect that the man is shining a light on it. He appears to have a weapon in his hand or some sort of unknown object.
The title is in red, with AMITYVILLE larger than the other words. This accentuates the title all together. Using the word horror in the title makes us know the genre of the film. Underneath the red title, there is a line of white text that says “based on the true story”, making it seems more realistic and scary. On the wall on the left it says “Katch em & Kill em”; it is self written and looks really realistic. It could suggest that there are killings and gore in the film.
