Dead Snow

This film poster is of the film Dead Snow, a horror film starring nazi zombies. As you can see the focus of the poster here is that of a decapitated nazi officer. This obviously shows that the film follows the splatter horror sterotypes, as well as following the zombie movie cliches. The chainsaw is a particularly good example of how a weapon can be cliche, as in many horror films, the chainsaw is the "ultimate zombie killing weapon". Other features of the poster include the other zombies that you can see in the background, suggesting that the film will be full of the horde, and things may go quickly out of hand. The poster is clearly trying to appeal to your typical zombie film officianado and horror fan, as well as trying to appeal to those people which also like horror comedies, as proven by the review at the top which states "there is a storm of scary fun to be had in this splatterfest" The poster also shows the location of the film, which coincides with the film title itself. It's clearly in a cold, snowy area, which is unusual for there to be a zombie film set there. n the background you can see a cabin. Another mainstaw of the film could be that this is where the survivers will spend most of their time in safety, before the obvious fnal fight at the end of the film. Therefore it follows many of the horror film conventions and cliche's, minus the setting.
