DVD cover analysis

When a stranger calls 

This DVD cover stands out as a horror/triller movie due to the colours used. The only colour on the cover are black and red, these colours are normally associated with horror movies as red symbolises evil and blood and black symbolises mystery.
There is a tag line which says 'evil hits home' with ties in with the plot as it's about a babysitting job going wrong.
The title of the movie is the most bold text so people will recognise it easily.
The main image is of a hand holding a phone with an image of a girl in distress, this sparks mystery as the audience don't know who the girl in the image is or who the hand actually belongs to.
There is also a review from 'news of the world' that described the movie as '... a genuine spine-chiller' which is a sell line to make people want to watch it, this quote also implies the horror genre of the movie.
