• The top part of the film poster is taken up by star reviews and quotes from magazine companies that have watched this film. This urges the audience to go and watch this film because all of the reviews and the stars that have been given are all positive. 
• The main image on the poster is of the two main characters during their time on the camping trip. The actors are Steve Oram and Alice Lowe.
• The film is released in winter time/ close to winter because the weather is getting colder and the nights are getting darker quicker so the audience may go and watch this film to have fun and to cheer themselves up.
• On the poster there is a tag line, irony is used here because the tagline is saying "Killers have never been this close-knit" and both of the main characters are wearing knitted jumpers. 
• Audiences may relate to this film because of the narrative/ story-line, the audience may go on camping trips and camping holidays and the accidents/ experiences that happen in the film may have happened to some members of the audience.
• The director and the executive producer are mentioned underneath the main title. The director isn't well known but the executive producer is well known. Edgar Wright has directed many films starring Simon Pegg, so he will have a fanbase from those films.   
• The certificate is also given on this film poster which shows that the film is suitable for people over the age of 15, also this links into the reason why the film has been released at the end of November, because everyone under the age of 15 will be getting ready for Halloween etc.
