A horror movie poster of a serrated machete standing at the center between a battered mask and a chrome mask, set against a starry deep-blue void. Behind the masks, the background fades to near-black blue scattered with faint white stars. In the upper-left corner, a cold blue rim of light traces the outer edge of the left mask. On the left side of the frame, a weathered grey-black mask with round ventilation holes fills the space, its surface scratched and pitted. Through the left mask's eye opening, a single bloodshot eye with a greenish iris stares directly outward. In the center of the frame, the broad machete blade runs vertically from top to bottom, its polished steel surface catching white reflections. Along the right edge of the blade, a serrated tooth pattern glints. Reflected on the blade's flat surface, the screaming face of an adult woman in her late twenties with dark hair appears, her mouth wide open in terror. On the right side of the frame, a polished chrome mask with smooth futuristic curves occupies the mirror position. Through the right mask's eye opening, a single glowing red eye burns against the steel. In the upper-right corner, the chrome mask's brow ridge catches a sharp white highlight. In the lower-left corner, the left mask dissolves into darkness below the cheek. In the lower-right corner, the chrome mask's jawline fades into blue-black shadow. Across the bottom of the poster, a huge luminous white X glyph bursts outward like crossed blades, with a golden serif "TITLE" laid over it in large uppercase letters. The letters stretch from the left edge to the right edge, their metallic gold finish glowing warm against the cold blue. The lighting is cold and dramatic, with icy blue rim light sculpting the masks from the sides while the machete blade blazes with white specular highlights. Deep shadows pool in the ventilation holes and beneath the masks' brow ridges. The composition is strictly symmetrical, the two masks and their contrasting eyes mirrored around the central blade. Overall, the composition balances the weathered and chrome masks in tense symmetry around the central machete, rendered in a palette of icy steel blue, tarnished grey, and blood red within a glossy early-2000s horror style that feels menacing and electrified.
