The brown / golden tinge gives both a natural and a sinister feel which is emphasised with the faded background that's slightly out of focus. This adds a supernatural feel to the cabin when combined with the irregular shape and position of it. By the way the cabin is used, we can establish that this is the main threat, or maybe whatever is inside? The use of this mise-en-scene shows that this film would appeal to people aged 15-24 as it is has a modern look to it and it's also a 15 age rating. This is a typical audience for this genre as well as the mise-en-scene of the woods and the fonts used give an earthy, yet violent feel. You can tell it's a film poster due to the use of the film name, tagline, release date and production company names in Steel Tongs font.
A close up of the woman's face on the left hand side shows us that she is the protagonist. This is shown through the way she is positioned in the foreground, dominating most of the image. There is a high level of contrast cast over the entire image, giving the entire poster a darker feel that adds to the genre of thriller. The use of the house in the background implies the threat that the woman has to face throughout the film. The use of mise-en-scene shows that this film would appeal to people aged 15-24 as it looks modern and features young characters that appeal to younger generations.
