This magazine cover is promoting 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' which is a thriller film however it does use conventions seen in horror films. The magazine genre is a film magazine.
The magazine uses typical conventions such as a masthead, cover lines, a bar code, issue number and price which shows it is a magazine rather than a film poster.
Unusually for a magazine it uses more than three colours rather than following the rule of three colours. The masthead and position statement are the style as the are on each 'Empire' magazine.
From the shot type with is a long shot you can tell the genre of the film. It includes both main characters and the lighting is dark which hints it is a thriller/horror film. The dark clothing both characters are wearing also hints at the genre.
