The genre of this cover is that of a film magazine. We can tell that this is a film magazine and not a poster due to the fact that there is: a barcode, a price, an issue no. and the date.
The narrative of this front cover is that of a horror genre, we can tell this as the main article is about 'The Shining' which is a classic horror film. We can also tell it is based on a horror narrative as the quote about the film says "I'm not gonna hurt ya. I'm just gonna bash your brains in". There is also the main picture which shows a crazed man trying to break through a door with an expression that shows anger and glee at the thought of reaching his victims.
The image shown represents that the article is about a horror film as he looks like a mad man set on killing people.
The target audience for this magazine is of the age bracket 25-40 this is because it is more of a mature magazine and is based on films rather than other subjects. The magazine is also packed with films and reviews so the font will be of a size 10-12 and is more for a film fanatic. Other people outside of this age group may buy this magazine however because they are really interested in films.
The media language, of this cover shows that it is that of film language. One of the sub-articles is based on '100 covers t choose from' - based on the special edition of this magazine, showing that there is in fact more. There is no slugline for this magazine usually, however at the top of this article there ia additional information which says "The 500 Greatest Movies Of All Time"
