This poster for Shutter Island is a good way of showing the genre as a horror. It uses dark colours to show the mystery, and a contrasting area of light to highlight Leonardo Di Caprio's face. The lit match is potitioned above the watchtower of the island to symbolise that there is a 'beacon of hope' within the film.
The text is small and therefore not overbearing. The words 'Someone is missing.' are very simple and do not take attantion away from anything else.
This poster uses star theory and relies a lot on Leonardo Di Caprio, as his name is the second largest piece of text on the page, as well as half the page being devoted to his face.
