Poster designs frequently employ artificial color schemes—acid greens, acidic purples, and unsettling chromatic combinations that mirror the protagonist's increasingly fractured perspective. Typography is often distorted or unconventional, reinforcing the film's rejection of narrative predictability. The artwork prioritizes psychological mood over conventional Hollywood glamour. International releases show striking variations—some European markets emphasized the film's thriller elements through darker, more menacing compositions. Japanese editions occasionally reframed the film's comedy through different cultural lenses, sometimes foregrounding visual spectacle over narrative coherence.
