Amityville: A New Generation, 1993

Amityville: A New Generation: the image of evil

1. Imagery

The house appears through a jagged opening surrounded by shards of glass. Above it, a demonic face with glowing red eyes watches over the scene. The house’s bright windows contrast with the surrounding darkness.

2. Composition

The large title dominates the top. The shards frame the house in the centre, drawing the eye toward its bright windows, while “THE IMAGE OF EVIL” anchors the lower section above the credits.

3. Colour and Typography

Black and deep red establish a threatening mood, while the cool blue sky and bright windows create contrast. The white title is stark and distressed; the cyan subtitle gives the bottom of the poster a clear visual accent.

4.Symbolism and Tone

The shattered frame suggests a barrier breaking down, exposing the house and its evil presence. The glowing eyes reinforce the sense of a force watching from above. The result is a dark, dramatic supernatural-horror design.

Amityville: A New Generation: terror has a reflection all its own

1. Imagery

The house is seen through a jagged frame of broken glass, suggesting a shattered mirror or window. Its orange-lit attic windows stand out against the cold blue façade, hinting at a hidden presence inside.

2. Composition

The oversized title fills the top, while the house dominates the centre and lower half. Glass shards point inward from the edges, directing attention toward the building. The tagline sits along the bottom like a final warning.

3. Colour and Typography

Cool blues give the house an eerie, nocturnal feel, contrasted with the warm orange windows and red title. The tall, distressed lettering makes “AMITYVILLE” the main focal point; the spaced subtitle gives the design a more restrained note.

4. Symbolism and Tone

The broken glass connects directly to the tagline, “Terror has a reflection all its own.” It suggests that the horror may be hidden in what the viewer sees—or reflected back at them. The result is an unsettling, mysterious poster with a strong visual theme.
