At the same time, it seems like a setup in a comedy where someone says 'don't make a sound' and then their
partner proceeds to break a vase, drop silverware and pretty much every kind of noise making implement on
the floor.

I think, sincerely, that they are supposed to be in the “glass cube” Apple Store in front of the General Motors Building on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

Any photoediting software will tell you if your text is off center, I don't even know how this could happen so badly to the title
My copy arrived with the title centered. Seems the above mock-up is entirely off center, cropping a little off the left side of the cover and including a little more on the left than actually appears. (Still a bad cover any way you crop it.)

Off-topic, but would love if you could check the actual run time, I'm surprised if they released the 78 minute version like info release said.

This is the worst cover I’ve ever seen, I actually don’t know how anything could get worse than this. I’ve seen Photoshop Criterion covers better than this. It’s telling that the most aesthetically pleasing thing about this cover is the 4K Ultra HD banner.

The funny thing is, out of the Variety Films releases, this is one of the more professional looking covers I've seen so far.

I cannot believe anyone is putting out a 4K of Rescue from Gilligan's Island. The existing elements can NOT justify it.

Doubtlessly they don’t. They’re using a 16mm print and the comparison video on their website basically says it all.

Also, the disclaimer about how the BD disc is probably defective and unplayable on most machines is just hilarious.

Actually what’s funny is that information is about the 4K disc meaning that, as others have pointed out in other places, this is the first commercially released 4K-Rom which is even funnier when you realize it’s for this film of all things.

The alternate slipcover art for the forthcoming Scream Factory UHD of Drag Me To Hell is...something.

They couldn't have just kept it simple and used the original theatrical poster with the SF Gate bridge submerged in the fog.

Agreed… but my biggest issue is why include the floating heads and then not match up the actors names above it. Ruffalo is the only one that matches

Contracts usually. Names have to he in a spefic order and size relative to the title. Faces are usually size specific relative to each other.

This cover irritated me for some reason, don't know why. And to paraphrase... yes, we're dead, don't smoke. And you
might get strawberry jam on your face, too.

Nice to see the Disney Vault being breached, but...

Phoenix's face is so scrubbed, he looks younger than he did in SpaceCamp.

The Signs faces' shenanigangs is already something, but the whole Sixth Sense cover is just... lazy ? generic ?
The color, the design, everything feels like a generic template.

He was in X-Men? Not interested.

Oh, so he was also in X-Men? Take my money!

I know this is from original artwork, but I still wouldn't have used it as the cover.
