I would say that most of the time you could, with a cursory inspection of the promotional posters and materials for a movie, quite accurately determine the subject matter and tone of the move. The official movie tagline normally offers one such dead giveaway, other obvious clues could come from the design and layout of the movie poster, colours used and especially the facial expressions of the characters depicted on premium paper.
In short, what I really mean is that The Crucible is one helluva serious movie with Daniel Day-Lewis and Winona Rider playing the leads, adapted from the play by Arthur Miller. How's the movie? I'll be honest here, I have not watched the movie yet. However, I do know the plot has a potent mix of witch trials, greedy preachers and a vindictive ex-lover to boot. If you don't think that is dramatic and serious stuff, just look at the dead-pan expressions of Winona Rider and Daniel-Day Lewis on the promotional bookmark. You'll understand what I mean.
