The genre is denoted through one of the reviews on the back cover which says '' A scary Sci-fi flick with wit, energy and attitude!'' which connotes to the audeience that it is a sci-fi film. The picture also dennotes this as it is very unusual and weird.
The people are dennoted as very young people probably late teen years which connotes they are young. The subheading also dennotes that it is in a school as it says '' Take Me to Your Teacher '' so it connotes to us they are running from something in there school.
The Different logos at the bottom of the back cover dennote that this is going to to be in different shops to buy and it connotes to us we can buy it from our dvd store such as HMV or Blocbuster. The ''Dimensions '' logo on the spine of the case shows us who made the film and gives us an insight into what the film is going to be like as they produce certain types of film.
The target audience is dennoted by different logos and images on this cover. The dimensions logo on the spine dennotes that it is for 18+  as they normally make these types of films. the centre image also dennotes to us its 18+ as the picture is quite scary and dark.
