I think this is a unique poster, it definitively represents its title effectively. The dictionary definition for Sinister is “Giving the impression that something harmful or evil is happening or will happen” and if a child painting a disturbing picture in blood isn’t harmful then I don’t know what is.
The cracked grey wall background connotes danger and danger, also that nothing it clear. The main photo of the girl contrasts with the title, a naive innocent girl surely cant be ‘sinister’? The irony works well and portrays clearly. I like the contrast and it is something I will consider when doing my poster.
The blood painting itself is a menacing and haunting image and one that you cant get out your head. Also underneath it is some remains of a video tape which links well with the trailer. It makes the audience inquisitive about what there used for. The black title with the slight shadow works well for the poster, it is definitely a creepy font. The tag line which is also featured in the trailer leaves the audience with quite an ambiguous feel, who would they see? Overall I think this poster is effective and very eye catching.
