The same visual intensity as the spot is reflected in the poster's photography, captured by photographer Rui Aguiar. The image depicts a distorted human figure that conveys a sense of displacement and ambiguity, exploring themes such as fragmented identity and ghostly presence, so prevalent in the horror world.
