Whatever the modern interpretation, you'll have to agree that Amanda Seyfried wears the red cloak well (although she's not so little) and these billboards look dramatic and intriguing. The absence of primary colours aside from the rich red of her hooded cloak and the bloodied film title text, really make these visuals pop.
