Worst DVD Covers...ever! (Part 4K)

[The Narrator Returns]

All of these

That Manchester by the Sea mock-up is like a creative design assignment started five minutes before the due date.

Fuck

[TMDaines]

And the poster commonly used across most of the world is a bit of a masterpiece too. Wow that is atrocious.

[manicsounds]

Literally



Besides the monster inside, I see Huey Lewis driving off with Marty McFly's truck.

I know, I know.. its Alpha Video, what can you expect? But I just can't get Brando to look like anyone other than Schwarzenegger.

Also, this video is rather great fun: Cinemassacre judging a bunch of VHS PD horror covers.

[domino harvey]

... that's not even remotely a bad cover

Why was this film shelved?

[knives]

Because Weinstein have no money.

[Adam X]

So there is a god...

Just the addition of a comma would have made that a must watch: "Navy, Seals v Demons"

[The Fanciful Norwegian]

Because Weinstein have no money.

Honestly, this seems like exactly the sort of thing Harvey would pick up sight unseen on the assumption that it'd become a breakout hit and/or awards fodder, only to get cold feet when the critics and test audiences don't fall over themselves to praise it.
