The typography of the opening credits reflects a horror film as many horror films has the same red writing in their opening title sequences. Moreover, the voice over explains the background story of the film; the voice is deep and dark sounding, this type of voice creates a mystery. Whilst the character is talking he uses many short sentences and this adds tension to the film because it is straight to the point and it makes the audience listen to him.
At the beginning of the title sequence, there is a close-up on metal chains, bullets, weapons and the extremely sharp blade, this foreshadows the violence that will happen in the film. When the baby is shown, it is covered in a lot of blood, this is shown at the same time as the voice over says 'half human, half vampire', this reflects the human monster.
The fast swipes of the blade makes the audience confused as to where to look and this can make them feel scared because the audience may feel like the blade is swiping out towards them. Also, during the whole titles sequence it is mainly dark colours and the audience is not shown the full picture, leaving them to fit the pieces together, this is typical of most horrors.
