An exploitation-horror movie poster shows a giant screaming adult man's face shot from an extreme low angle, set against a bright blue sky. The man's enormous face fills the upper two-thirds of the frame, his head tilted back, mouth stretched wide open in a scream. His skin is pale and stubbled, with dark curly hair framing the sides of his face. His eyes are squeezed shut above a prominent nose, the nostrils flared from the low viewpoint. Coarse black stubble covers his jaw and upper lip, the grain of the photograph visible in the skin texture. Inside the dark cavern of his open mouth, a small surreal inset image appears like a vision or memory. The inset shows an adult woman's face in profile against a red background, a black revolver pressed to her temple. Her expression is calm and resigned, her dark hair pulled back, the gun's barrel stark against her skin. The red backdrop of the inset glows like a wound inside the mouth. In the upper-right corner, the blue sky stretches empty and bright behind the man's hair. On the left and right edges of the frame, low stone walls run horizontally, suggesting a sunlit rural enclosure. The walls are built of rough gray stones, slightly out of focus. Across the lower third, the poster "TITLE" is stacked in two tiers: a smaller blue line above gigantic red block letters. The red letters are tall, uneven, and hand-drawn in feeling, their edges slightly rough. The blue upper line is set in a narrower sans-serif, dwarfed by the red type below it. No other text or credits appear on the poster. The lighting is harsh midday sun, bleaching the sky and throwing hard shadows under the man's chin and nose. Bright highlights blow out on his teeth and the bridge of his nose, while the mouth interior falls into deep shadow around the glowing red inset, and the stone walls catch warm sunlight on their top edges. The extreme low angle distorts the face into something monstrous and looming, the scream becoming the poster's entire architecture. Overall, the poster balances a grotesque close-up against flat graphic typography, its palette of sky blue, blood red, and sun-bleached skin delivering a lurid, confrontational shock effect.
