Red Dragon is a psychological thriller film that focuses on the character of Hannibal Lector. This poster also reveals that there is a horror element to the film,as it seems quite dark and foreboding. The main feature of the poster is the tattooed back. This gives the audience a feeling of unease. The iconography of the tattoo show that the man could be dangerous, as the horns could symbolize a number of evil things such as Satan and as he title shows, a dragon. The tagline of "Before the silence" is reference to the Silence of the Lambs, which also featured Hannibal Lector. This shows the audience that there are going to be some common themes int this film, and that if the audience enjoyed the Silence then they may well enjoy this film too. The titles them selves are once again bold, capitalized and the colours of red and white. The colour choice, however is more relevant here, as the red of Red Dragon is colour coordinated appropriately. There appears to be a man in the center of the poster surrounded by a glowing light. This could signify that the character is a good guy, or that it symbolizes goodness that counters that of the main antagonist.
