Art style: Cinematic Neo-Noir.
A low-angle shot from behind a thick, moss-covered oak tree in a dense, dark forest. A man is visible in the middle ground, holding a flickering wooden torch that casts erratic orange light. He is frozen in mid-step, looking back toward the camera with wide, terrified eyes. The forest is filled with heavy shadows and tangled roots. Palette is deep forest greens, charcoal blacks, and fiery orange.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Neo-Noir" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Neo-Noir". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Neo-Noir" idiom, not in any other medium.
