poster analysis - Shutter Island




Shutter Island

Shutter Island is a 2010 American psychological thriller film directed by Martin Scorsese. The film is based on Dennis Lehane's 2003 novel of the same name. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as U.S. Marshal Edward "Teddy" Daniels, who is investigating a psychiatric facility located on the island named in the title.

Shutter Island was released in October 2009 rated 15
the poster is mainly dark and black the the only colour being the red writing  of the title and the bright yellow/orange glow of a match lighting up half the face.
the sea is dark and hard to see, only the artificial light coming from the building which has an aura of light around it makes things visible.
the strapline 'someone is missing' makes you think something bad has happenend.
In all this poster shows the film is a dark sinister film with twists and turns that will make you jump.
