The layering of the cross in front of the face indicates religion shall be a theme within the film. I think this is a really good idea and may take inspiration when drafting my first design for our poster.
Our films plot surrounds a crucifix necklace being found and is the ultimate symbol for the revengeful act committed in the final stages and so I think I may try to make the necklace the border of the poster, with a similarly placed face within the centre, but behind in layers.
Note the direct gaze of the character in frame. This can put an audience on a personal level, and so the poster can connect directly.
The film name 'RITE' has connotations of the word 'right', a very debated word in religion, as in, 'what is the right thing to do?'.
'The Others' is also a good example of a psychological crime thriller. I am beginning to notice a major theme of posters from the psychological crime thriller genre in that of the use of shadowing. Notice how the only light on the poster comes from the hand held lamp. The black creates a sense of isolation and insecurity.
