The poster for Mirrors uses a classic blue/grey filter used in many horror film as it create a lifeless and empty look in skin tones; they look asif they have been drained. The main character (Keither Sutherland) look brocken himself, this is to re-enforce the look that the filter give. He appears to have a brocken will and the cuts bruises and missing chunck of ear suggest he has been "through hell" which is perfect for the genre. The films title has mirrored one of the r's in the name to promote the theme of the film. The title font used is clear and basic, all in white as not to draw attention from the main image which is the eyecatching bulck of the poster. Keither Sutherland's name is atop the title in a bold full capitals font, showing his name before the film help the potential audience know what the film might be like as many famouse actors are assosiated with sertain genres or styles, and any fans of his previouse film may give the film a higher standing just as he is in it.
The poster is a reflection in a shattered mirror to again show the main theme of the film, the shatter in the mirror goes through the actors face and cracks at his eye, this could be to show a shattered soul as a crack mirror is often iconic and commonly used convention to show a broken person in the film industry.
