Psychological thriller posters typically use red, black, and white colors which connote danger, violence, and mystery. Low-key lighting is often used on main subjects to create mystery and intrigue against a dark background. Most thriller posters place the title near the bottom in red to stand out, and use thin, clean fonts. Cast names may be placed at the top or bottom depending on where they stand out best against the background image. Psychological thriller posters often use close-ups of unsettled protagonists to emphasize the mental issues and enigma at the story's core.
