I don't know who designed this poster, but the design really does suit the film- not black and white like the film, and no photography been used such as the harsh stills in the film but it creates this dark, gloomy aesthetic. The film came out in 1931 in Germany, and I think this was the poster that was produced with it- quite contemporary of its day it seems like it was pushing boundaries when produced, just like the film which caused controversy.
We can see in the background its almost like city skyline, but this is being very much so overshadowed by this powerful hand. This scary looking hand, that conjures up terror depicting the child murderer.
The colours used, seem grimy and dirty, red and green the main focus point of colour. Complimentary colours, they work with each other- both as uneasy on the eye, not calming colours used.
