I like Rick's artwork in general, but i'm not keen on this at all. It seems far too cartoonish for the tone of the film (as with 'Inferno' and 'Macabre'), whilst also kind of ugly/dull to look at (as with 'Opera' and 'Bay of Blood'). Of course, it doesn't matter at all because a great job is always done with alternate covers, but I can't imagine this one would even be good for sales.
Doesn't matter for me anyway I guess as I don't have a BD player - really disappointed this isn't coming out on DVD or that Arrow can't follow the lead of the BFI or Masters Of Cinema and do dual format. And the Arrowdrome releases are just selling people short with lesser booklets and extras (and really tacky title fonts!)
Still, I will look forward to it very much if I ever get a BD player.
