Well honest as a poster or not it does look ominous.Personally I've always liked it because it was vague, simple and a little bit scary. I agree to an extent it's slightly annoying as it doesn't have that melted checkered checkered flooring or upside down eggs in the film but I'm almost irritated more that it doesn't have any of those features since I've always liked the look of them.
If I'm going to be a massive advocate/apologist for it I might as well suggest a thought that since in the film the titular character isn't always so clearly seen te vagueness of the poster sort of reflects the uncertainty of what is seen.

I have a vague memoryof there being an alternate version with an even more literal interpretation that had an actual cardboard eggbox with eggs in place of the hessian, but happily for the designer I think that one has gotten lost to history before the interwebs came along to store it for ridicule forever.
