I agree with you about being misleading. But have you ever picked up a dvd because of the front cover? If like me then yes. Have you ever bought that dvd without reading the info on the back? If like me then no.
This cover is to make the film stand out and get the casual buyer to pick it up, then decide if the film is of there liking. If there was only this cover then, I think it would be a problem especially for collectors. But we get more cover options to best suit the film.
