^ I don't see what's so "worst" about this. This make-up appears in a scene and it was one of the movie posters. For a horror film it works.

It looks like an Asylum DTV production.

Sometime over the last few months, this turned into the “Random DVD Covers” thread, with no real link to quality either way. It’s pretty rare these days that an actual terrible cover gets posted, with the vast majority being perfectly acceptable if unremarkable.Lost Highway wrote:^ I don't see what's so "worst" about this.

It's almost as though people have different opinions, weird!
That said, The Prodigy looks totally fine to me.

The way he's placed against the background is what makes it awful for me; it looks really unnatural. I can see why others like it, though.

That Prodigy cover is fine. Good movie, too.

I echo this sentiment.Lost Highway wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 12:41 pmI don’t like it but I come to this thread to point and laugh at freakishly hideous covers, not at mediocre ones.

An old favorite dating back to an older incarnation of this forum, in case it helps restore a sense of purpose for posting examples of beyond-the-pale degrees of graphic incompetence, ugliness, grossly distorted representations of movies and their stars, preposterous use of proportion and perspective... Maybe the current crop of covers just don't sink quite to the level of some of the mostly long-OOP DVD era abominations.

As I recall, all of the DVDs in that Chabrol box had similarly horrible MS Word default font

This is a wild one. It seems like a better idea than it is execution because it makes my eyes hurt to look at it for too long
Sorry it's not from a Chinese bazaar or whatever

Isn't that basically the art that has always been used?

Sort of?
The color has been totally fucked with on the Blu-ray cover, though, like a very bad Instagram filter applied 10 times over - not to mention how unreadable everything behind them is. It's a terrible cover, sorry. Standing my ground.

I absolutely want to watch a Christmas movie in which Dabney Coleman pilots Santa’s sled

Awwww.
Can we still buy new usernames?
And in scenes I can't begin to make sense of, Santa's IT team is trying to find "Floyd Court", the new Santa, but instead bring up Count Floyd for an extended Joe Flaherty cameo:

I've seen few weirder. Dabney Coleman, vice president of Santa Enterprises or something, takes his wheelchair-bound boss to a mall to find his successor ("I want you to meet a friend of mine. He's a crippled guy, but he's a terrific person!" - actual dialogue), but Santa dies and with his last breath gives the job to a homeless Black man mid-theft, half-naked and running from mall security. He is then kidnapped and taken to the North Pole (which is actually Heaven?) where, in a really quite nightmarish sequence, a group of small children taunt and laugh at him when he tells them, plainly terrified, that he doesn't want to be Santa Clause. It's like The Toy meets Get Out.domino harvey wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2019 7:28 pmI absolutely want to watch a Christmas movie in which Dabney Coleman pilots Santa’s sled

Returns is vaguely better, though its transparent blending of Catwoman and The Penguin in Batman's head is quite a poor design idea.

Proof Travolta lurks on the boarddomino harvey wrote: ↑Mon Nov 19, 2018 12:50 pmTravolta really just needs to take his cue from late period Ray Milland and lose the bad hairpieces. He'd look so much more natural bald and graying and less uncanny valley like does now
He looks surprisingly great bald too, who the hell was keeping him away from this all these years?

I know everyone won't find this bad, but who would be convinced by this as opposed to the actual poster?
