Post by: ToyMan on September 14, 2008, 02:10:04 AM
here's my pick-

now, while it's not especially poorly executed, this box art COMPLETELY ruins the reveal of the monster late in the film. throughout the film we're looking at this goon under a blanket, thinking "man, i already know what this guy looks like under there..."

The cover for the box-set tells you all you need to know about Seinfeld...

I've always loved Ah-nold films but the posters were a little self absorbing.  I understand he was the main draw but sheesh...its like the same thing over and over again...

Another one that spoils any potential reveal:

I like this movie, but it's a bit slow in places.

Now,when I bought it at the flea market,I kinda knew it was gonna be weird,as I had read a review in the Psychotronic Video Guide book,in NO way does this box art convey what a bizzare piece 0 trash lurked within...!" A Dracula on drugs..." uh...yeh...!

Even the back description is very vague and misleading...!

Has anyone ever seen those "23rd Century DVD" discs that they stock in Pound shops. The cover never usually corresponds to the actual movie itself, instead featuring a generic image loosely related to the subject matter involved. Any of their Japanese sci-fi releases just has a generic piece of artwork on the front.

Kind of represents the theme of the movie.  Is it a cannibal film, is it a zombie film?  That and the tagline is kind of silly.
