The purge

The film poster I chose is the purge, this is because it looks quite interesting from looking at the film poster, the plot of this movie is that there is a one day in America that the government has sanctioned an annual 24 hour period in which any and all criminal activity including murder, become legal. the meaning of the word purge associates getting physically get rid of so that could be a contrast between the title of the movie and the plot because for one day people could murder people without any action being taken by the police or anyone else. the tagline on the film poster says 'one night a year all crime is legal' put the audience in sudden suspense on what is going to happen in the movie as in other countries this isn't legal. this movie is a horror, from this i can tell because the front cover has very dark and dull colours which could mean its in the night time which is mostly when all crimes are taken place because then no one can see the criminals faces in the night. Also it looks quite interesting as there is a someone face on the front with a mask on but the mask is smiling so this could be the person behind the mask is evil because when people tend to do bad crimes they always have a smile on their faces in the end so it looks quite scary. on the top of the film poster it says 'from the producer from paranormal activity and sinister' this could grab the audiences attention more because the two films mentioned are one of the most popular and rated horror movies and are quite scary so this could also mean this is going to be another good and horrifying movie. Finally, i believe that this film shout be rated 18 and over because of the violence that this film has in it, males 60% and females 40% as males are more into crime, they might more interested into this type of movie.
