## Prompt

```text
Create a dark cinematic thriller film still of a {subject} hiding in a narrow shadowy space beside {hiding_spot}. He is partially hidden in darkness, wearing a {clothing}, his face tense and alert. Thin strips of warm light pass through the blinds, cutting across his face and body, revealing only his eyes, cheekbones, and part of his anxious expression. His mouth is slightly open as if he is breathing quietly or listening for danger nearby. The scene should feel claustrophobic, suspenseful, and intimate, with deep black shadows surrounding him. The wooden slats create strong horizontal shadow patterns across the frame. Use low-key lighting, high contrast, warm golden highlights mixed with deep darkness, realistic facial detail, cinematic film grain, shallow depth of field, anamorphic widescreen composition, tense psychological thriller atmosphere, no text, no logo.
```
