This poster is a very effective film poster. It stood out to me as a horror poster because it the girl looks like she is out of control of her body which links to the title 'The Last Exorcism' suggesting if this time it does not work then they will give up or leave her for the devil. The colours used in the poster are very dull. The black and whites make the image have a very negative effect and suggest that the model is emotionless and her whole body is being taken over and she has no control. The way in which her body is shown links to the idea of the cross, suggesting that religion will help to cure her. The models shadow on the wall looks like the cross which again suggests religion is the only way out. 

The title at the bottom of the page, is in white, this makes the title stand out. The font is very sophisticated which subverts our expectations of a horror poster because usually the font is big and very dramatic. This film poster is quite basic but also very effective and gives off a lot of emotions. This poster could offend religious people because of the way in which the model is placed and the way they are mixing god with the devil.
