The article as a whole, is cast in shadow by the the image which masters the double page spread. A filter has been used to cast elements of the picture in darkness, creating a foreboding atmosphere. This immediately suggests that the film must have themes of horror involved (where thriller comes into it). The bright lights behind the main character are examples of the types of special effects we might see from watching sci-fi films which means we can infer from this that the film is a sci-fi film.
The predator in the picture is wearing a helmet and a protective chest plate which, although unconventional, is a form of military uniform. Since this means we can expect violence to be a key theme throughout this film, we are made to understand that it is an action film. The nature of the suit being large and of an inhuman appearance, this leads us to assume that the character in the article is an alien. Therefore the article informs us of the sci-fi genre through the inclusion of the predator.
From looking at the the picture and the information at the bottom and top of the article (i.e. 'ALIEN' in the top right hand corner and the title, 'The Ultimate Sci-fi Movie Special') we are led to understand that the target audience is sci-fi fans.
