The Strangers poster analysis

In this poster the audience is placed behind the victims, creating the feeling that they are helpless bystanders. A sense of unease is promoted in that the audience can see the front of the killers, though they are wearing masks to hide their identity and show no emotion.  There is a slogan at the top which is effective at evoking fear, the word home is a safe word, where someone feels comfortable and the phrase implies an invasion of that. The mise en scene of the killers (clothing) is 'normal', showing that the killers could be anyone.
