The colours in this make it look scary because the red (blood) goes well on the white decaying wall. The connotations to the colour red are evil, death, blood and more. Also the connotations to grey are darkness, dull settings, depression and sadness.
The main image includes a women dragging her hand across a wall with blood in the shape of the killers face, this goes well with the colours as the red really stands out.
The way the title of the film is written is effective because the the black fade goes well against the white background.
All these things make are good to put on a poster for a horror film because it includes everything needed to make it look scary.
Some good points regarding how the colours, image and title makes the poster look scary for the audience; well done.

1) Extend your paragraph about colour by saying that using; red, white and black represents the audience by following horror conventions. Also, in this paragraph explain why these colours are used by this genre e.g. because red connotes __________, __________ and ______________, black connotes __________, _____________ and ____________ while white connotes _____________, _______________ and ___________________.
2) Extend your image and title paragraphs by explaining why the choice of image and title will interest the audience and make them want to see the film.
Your main target to go on your target sheet is: use more advanced media terminology e.g. words like connotation/connotes in your writing.
