Looking for a word that means depicting something as dangerous, perhaps more than is warranted.
Help is much appreciated!

May I add my question to yours? What is more dangerous, dangerous or perilous?

Vilify? If this isn't the word you're looking for, it's a good place to start in a thesaurus.

I was thinking 'foreboding' or 'apocalyptic' but I'm not convinced yet...

I propose damgerous as searching for one word that covers "extremely dangerous" doesn't give any result.

Help is much appreciated! How about "foreboding"? or possibly. "menacing"? E.g., "The poster on the wall had a foreboding image" or, "The note I received was menacing in the extreme."
I'm immortal until proven otherwise
