horror poster design — Large Face Close-Up · Oversized Title · High Contrast

A horror movie poster of a severed zombie head in a military officer's cap lying in bloody snow, a chainsaw-wielding figure striding behind it. The background fills with a bleak snow-covered mountain landscape: a wooden cabin sits at the mid-left, smoke curling from its chimney, black pine forest on the ridges, an overcast white sky pressing down, footprints trailing through the snow toward the foreground. In the lower-center foreground, the severed head of an adult male zombie rests in the snow, eyes rolled white, mouth agape in a frozen snarl, gray-green rotting skin smeared with blood, frost crusting the eyebrows, one ear half torn away; the black officer's cap sits crooked on the head, its silver eagle and skull insignia visible, the visor of the cap cracked, snow packed into the band; a pool of bright red blood spreads across the white snow around it, the blood already darkening at the edges, a severed hand half-buried nearby. Behind the head, the legs of an adult figure in dark snow pants and heavy boots stride from the top edge toward the viewer, a red chainsaw with a blood-flecked blade gripped in one hand at the upper-left, the housing of the chainsaw scratched and dented, the chain still slowly turning; an axe handle tucked at the hip, the axe head dark with old blood. In the middle distance, small figures of zombie soldiers in tattered uniforms shamble through the snow, one crawling at the mid-left, two dragging a body at the mid-right, a fourth standing motionless at the far right, head tilted at a wrong angle. Across the bottom third, the title appears as four giant weathered gray Chinese characters reading "TITLE", the characters eroded as if by frost, icicles hanging from the lower strokes, and beneath them, large block English letters filled with tiny character portraits read "TITLE". The lighting is flat and overcast, a cold diffused daylight bleaching the snow to near-white while the blood and the red chainsaw burn as the only warm accents, the face of the head modeled with sickly gray-green shadows, the blood almost glowing against the white. The overall composition slams the rotting head against the viewer in the foreground with the armed striding legs towering behind, joining a snow-white, blood-red, and corpse-gray palette in a grimy high-contrast photographic style that feels savage, bleak, and darkly comic, the horror played with a straight-faced grin.
