The "hand" artwork is actually one of the few decent covers from that era of horror films, and I'm sure it would look nice enough on another release. But this "It's old it must be better" or "It's what I grew up with" stuff doesn't half boil my piss.
Rick Melton's shark pic is excellent and would be a great new cover image for a new release of this film for a new generation. Breasts and all.
I'm weary of the perpetual nostalgic clamouring for things to look like the past.
Also, it's not like Zombi 2 is Citizen Kane or The Searchers or Rashomon or anything: it's a reasonable and fun low budget zombie rip-off flick. Why is everyone going on like this release has to be treated as the Holy Grail?
