provide psychological clues to the killer's actions. The
prisoner is psychiatrist, Dr. Hannibal Lector, a murderous

The film poster shows an extreme close up of a womans face all in black and white apart from her large brown eyes, which attract the reader into looking at her face and what surrounds her, and also could sway the reader into becoming interested in what she has seen. It also shows a Moth covering her mouth with patterns of a skull surrounding its body, the moth could be a symbol for silence and secrets as she cannot speak or sound out her troubles to anyone. It also draws more attention to the moth with the background being in black and white and makes the viewers wonder why it is there and for what reason too. It is a very simple movie poster but also a very clever one, as it does not give much away to the story line and keeps the viewers intrigued about what the moth is about, who the characters are and what the story line will unfold into.
