A horror movie poster split into two stark zones: a black-and-white winter forest above, a pure black field below. The upper third shows a dense stand of tall, leafless trees, their trunks thin and vertical, rendered in grainy monochrome. The trees stretch from edge to edge, a tangle of bare branches against a pale, overcast sky. In the upper-left and upper-right corners, the forest fades into white fog at the top edge. In the middle of the frame, the poster goes completely black, a wide empty band of darkness. Centered in that black band, a small red stick-figure glyph stands out, a crude human shape drawn in rough, uneven strokes. Below the glyph, a letter-spaced red uppercase title ("TITLE") spans the width of the black band in a serifed typewriter-style font. The red letters are the only color in the entire poster, glowing faintly against the black. The lower third is an extreme close-up of an adult woman's terrified face, lit from below in total darkness. She wears a grey knit beanie pulled low, its ribbed texture visible across her forehead. Her eyes are wide open and rolled upward, the irises pale blue-grey, staring at something above the frame. The bridge of her nose is lost in a wedge of black shadow at the bottom-center of the image. Her skin is pale and slick with sweat, catching the harsh light on her brow and cheekbones. A dark smudge, perhaps dirt or a bruise, marks her left temple. On the left side of the lower frame, darkness swallows her cheek and ear entirely. The lighting is a single harsh source from below, like a flashlight held under the chin: it bleaches the forehead and under-eyes to white while the eye sockets and lower face sink into black. The grain is heavy throughout, giving the image a raw, documentary video-still quality. On the right side of the lower frame, a faint rim of light traces the edge of her beanie against the black. The palette is almost entirely black, white, and grey, with the small red glyph and title as the sole chromatic shock. The composition stacks dread in layers, a dead forest, a void, a cryptic red symbol, and a face frozen in terror, in a found-footage style that reads as intimate, unmediated fear.
