Deranged poster - finished product

This is the finished version of the Deranged film poster that I created as a part of our marketing campaign for our product. I tried to follow a lot of the typical conventions of a thriller film poster such as;

• Large title of the film. The title is silver to connote the colour of a knife as it is the killers choice of weapon. The text is sharp/pointy and looks as if it has been engraved into something to give the same connotation.
• A large image from the film making the genre clear. The large blurred image of the mask and the background images of the newspaper articles present the genre. 
• Tag line 'YOU CAN'T RUN FOREVER'
• 18 rated age certificate of the film
• The production company website
• Release date
• Film website
• Quote from a popular magazine Total Film, with a 5-star rating
• Dark colours typical of the genre - black and red are used a lot
• The black splatter of ink is used to suit the background      

All of these conventions I included were ones to make it similar to psychological thriller film posters that I have researched in the past. The one convention that I didn't include was a billing block - however I researched into film posters to see if they were essential and it turns out that they aren't a necessity and I could get away with not using one. I didn't want to use one on this poster because I wanted other information at the bottom of the poster and there wasn't any space for it. If I had included one then there would be too much information at the bottom of the poster which would ruin the effectiveness of it. This is one example of a film poster that doesn't include a billing block and is also simple and effective like mine:
