AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A giant snake’s eye dominates this Japanese poster for Venom, with the young protagonist framed within its dark pupil. Bold red Japanese lettering, a vivid green tagline and a yellow serpent create a striking composition, completed by a row of character portraits along the lower section.
Directed by Piers Haggard and starring Klaus Kinski, Oliver Reed, Sarah Miles and Susan George, this British thriller combines a kidnapping siege with the threat of a deadly black mamba. The Japanese design captures that tension through its imposing reptilian close-up, making it an evocative display piece for collectors of horror cinema and Japanese movie posters.
