Art style: Claymation.
A close-up of a man's face, his eyes wide with sudden terror, lit from below by a sharp flashlight beam. His mustache twitches as his mouth hangs slightly open. Behind him, the dark hallway stretches into infinity, filled with impenetrable shadows. The lighting is harsh and cold, casting long, distorted shadows on the wall behind his head. Muted greens and deep blacks define the palette.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
high-end 3D cinematic claymation / stop-motion — hyper-stylized cartoon proportions with sharp geometric heads, huge bulging matte-white eyes with tiny sculpted pupils, sculpted hand-painted hair. Skin and hair show a tactile polymer-clay texture with subtle surface imperfections, slight bumps, soft matte finish — looking exactly like a physical hand-sculpted clay model. Clothing and accessories rendered hyper-realistically (glossy nylon, ribbed knit, leather, metal). Cinematic warm ambient practical-source lighting. 8k Octane render quality.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
