Semiotic-Hostel

This is the DVD cover for a horror film called "Hostel." You know its a gorey horror film by looking at the cover.

The whole colour is done in a deep red, so is the whole wall been covered with a persons blood? then above it is an actual blood stain, splattered at the top of the cover, the title "hostel" is done in the same colour.

Then on the floor there is an image of a person chained to a chair which has fell over.

Then just to the bottom right is the top of somebody's head, you can't see the bottom of the head, or who it is, so it could be another person lay on the floor, or it could be the same persons head who is chained to the chair.

Then you realise the blood is from that individual, and judging by the amount of blood you realise that the head has probably been hacked off roughly.

Looking at what the person is wearing, it is very scruffy and dirty, giving the sign that he has probably been kidnapped and kept prisoner, and because he has been chained up, he has had no attempt to escape. After his death it looks like knowbody has cleaned up or made any effort to move him or clean up the blood, they are clearly not in a rush to get rid of any evidence. So they are hidden away and very secretive.

It also says on the dvd cover that it is an unseen edition, considering the unseen edition has the same cover as the normal edition, it isn't giving anything away on how gory it could be, and how much worse it is.
