One Missed Call is a 2008 American remake of the 2004 Japanese film Chakushin Ari. about a phone call selected people recieve when its their turn to die, an alternate ringtone of the phone bearer will sound and when they pick it up its the sound of their last momments.
I believe that the poster is really good it gives a lot away with out really giving it away it makes their audience think about, The denotation of the poster you have the title of the film, the cover line which says “what will it sound like when you die” that automatically gives away the plot of the film, that the phone will give the sound of when you die. Then the picture in the middle where you have to mouths that look there in pain or screaming, and noses for eyebrows.
Also the colors and fonts they use play a large part in the poster for example red Coverline with the serif font gives that scary statement feeling to it, then theirs the title with the ghostly look and the fade towards the bottom which may give that supernatural feeling to the movie. The colours used are very basic and vague but create a large effect a black background as expected of a horror film, then you have the face which is quite pale almost as if its a dead body thats lost its colour, then the font of the title which has a run off white.

The Mise en scene for the horror trailer, the picture init has a pale face that may represent death or dead bodies, also the smile when you have two screaming faces that counter each other, and yet I would still say it’s the smile that’s the scariest thing on the poster.
As you can see the props used in this poster is just the phone, but that one prop is signifcant as the whole film is based on a phone call, it allows us as the audience to have a greater feel of how much the phone means and how scary it is, it also gives us the idea of who might be on the other side of the phone when you pick it up.
