The poster above is for the film Hannibal rising. This is a prequel to the other 3 films and is the last Hannibal film to be released. The poster itself sticks to the conventions of Hannibal film posters well, as they are very unique in the fact that the only thing you can see is the killers face instantly. This is very differnet to other Horror films as most try to hide who the killer is as this usually makes it scarier. But in this the killer is scary enough to instantly be shown.
The Hannibal films have a large following in the Horror genre, as all the films have been quite popular, even though this film got the worst rating. It appeils to Horror fans by posting this scary charcter on the front, He is scary for several reasons. One reason is that his eyes are red, this suggests to the audeince that he kills and is looking for blood, it is also a trademark of the Hannibal series. A second reason he is creepy is that he wears a mask that covers the lower half of his face. This is scary as it hides his emotions as the mask is fashioned into a creepy smile, underneath he could be extremly angry but as you don't know it frightens the audeince. The mask is also another trademark of the Hannibal Saga. The tagline for this film is 'It started with revenge' this suggests to the audeince that it is going to give the audeince a insight into what turns the killer into a killer, which will help draw in the audeince of the previous films as this insight into how he became a killer would interest them.
