This poster of crank target audience I think is for more male viewers aged 17 and up. You know it’s not for any ones much younger then that because the cover is very basic, there are no bright and vibrant colours to attract them to the cover. Also the main character is not a well know younger actor which might make younger people more interested if they new of him. The reason it apples to a male audience is because the cover of this film is very gritty and gory of man putting a clap on his tongue. The car clamps suggests action and putting them on his tongue suggests gore. Which are both stronger key factors of male appealing films. Of cores women can watch it as well as men but it should appeal to the male sex a lot more due to its themes. Full of dull colours and wording but the picture is the most appealing factor witch I think are what men look at if the don’t like the movie cover they wont watch it, so its short to the point, it shows it bases on action. 
This poster of RED target audience I think is over 16 as it probably has an age restriction due to its contents. Like crank the cover is still quite basic but with a little more colour with the deep red. However un like crank I think this thriller would appeal more to a female audience given that the cover gives an idea of romance and maybe something a little deeper. It has no leads on to gore but I think it dose have a link to action just no as obvious as the cover of crank. Again men can watch it but I think women would be more inclined to, due to gender related cover layout with the deep reds to relate to perhaps the passionate kiss, and there being three people knowing something going to go wrong.
Both these films are not only limited to a certain age but also appealed to a certain age group as well and gender. However every thriller or any film at all will always appeal to a certain age group and gender.
