A graphic thriller movie poster divides into a red-and-black duotone photograph across the top and a stark white-and-black section below. In the upper half, an adult woman in near-silhouette presses her hand flat against a glass windowpane, her face turned sideways in alarm. Her dark hair falls past her shoulders and her features are half lost in shadow, lit from behind by intense red light. On the left side of the frame, the black grid of the window mullions slants diagonally downward. In the upper-right corner, a black chandelier with scrolled iron arms hangs against the red glow. The background is a flat saturated vermilion red with heavy black grain, giving the scene a stark two-tone look. In the lower half, against a plain white field, a black-gloved hand grips a large steel carving knife, the blade slanting diagonally from the lower-left toward the center. The knife blade catches a bright silver highlight along its edge. To the right of the blade's tip, a solid black silhouette of a bird with jagged feathered plumes stands on thin legs. In the lower-right corner, a black rectangle contains the film's title in bold white condensed letters, stacked as "TITLE" with smaller mixed-case words arranged around the large initials. The red photographic section overlaps the white section at a diagonal seam behind the knife. The lighting is high-contrast and theatrical, blazing red backlight flattening the woman's silhouette while the white lower field renders the knife and bird in crisp black-and-white graphic contrast. The overall composition balances the hot diagonal energy of the red upper photograph against the cool minimal order of the white lower panel, executed in a bold 1970s graphic-poster style with a vermilion, black, and white palette that feels tense and menacing.
