This poster feels like an invitation—fitting for a film about a woman being drawn into a cult. The triadic color scheme is built around a deep red, complemented by muted gold and blue. The red dominates, giving the piece a sense of richness and intrigue, while the gold adds warmth and the blue introduces a cold, detached contrast.

By playing with different tones and levels of saturation, the palette avoids feeling overly vibrant, instead achieving a refined, almost vintage quality. This careful control of color enhances the film’s themes of mystery and manipulation, subtly pulling the viewer into its world. The twinkle in the eyes contrast nicely with the look of surprise/shock on the woman's face.
