close-up portrait composition — Oversized title, stacked type, centered figure

A horror movie poster of an adult woman holding a bloodied knife across her face, set against a textured crimson background. The upper third is filled with her voluminous dark curly hair, which frames her face and melts into the deep red backdrop. Dark shadow pools in the top corners behind the mass of hair. In the center of the frame, only her eyes, forehead, and mouth show above and below the blade. Her forehead and the bridge of her nose are spattered with dark red blood. Her brown eyes stare straight at the viewer with a hard, challenging gaze. On the left side of the frame, her blood-flecked hand grips the knife's wrapped handle, the steel blade running horizontally past the right edge. The blade carries five small stylized portraits of adults rendered in red tones, like faces burned into the metal. From left to right on the blade appear an adult man with stubble, an adult woman with pulled-back hair, an adult person with short dark hair, an adult woman with long straight hair, and an adult man wearing a cap. Below the blade, her lips curve into a faint cold smile, with a smear of blood at one corner of her mouth. Blood trails from her chin down onto her neck. Across her chest she wears a dark maroon raglan shirt with a ribbed collar. In the lower center, large cream-colored serif letters form the "TITLE" in four stacked lines, the letterforms tall and slightly irregular. The lighting is a hard frontal light that picks out the wet sheen of blood and the glint of steel, while deep shadow swallows the edges of her hair and the background. Overall the centered composition pits her calm symmetrical face against the violent horizontal blade, in a palette of blood red, steel gray, and cream, in a gritty photorealistic horror style, with a menacing and defiant mood.
