Arrow Video - Inferno - The Archive

Some sturdy reactions here - not seen the like of it since Killer Nun. Keep 'em coming!

The Killer Nun sleeve was a pain on the eyes (or was it in the eyes?).

What Nick said. Talented though the mighty Rick is was hoping for something classy and non-boobs and bums for this classic!!!

But what's so great about the Arrow Video line is that it offers something different and gives fans something to discuss!

So what's the reverse then?

Don´t like the cover, it transforms one of the best scenes of the movie in pure sexploitation cartoon...

Been holding from buying the italian version just in the hopes that this version has the same print...

I quite liked the VHS skull sleeve.

Classic!

As an aside - add a shark to it and ironically Rick's Inferno art would make for a fantastic Zombie Flesh Eaters cover!!!!

I think the font could be better.

I don't mind it really, but I suppose it does stray a bit far from the flick itself. But hey, I prefer to many of Rick's other covers.

I wouldn't be too bothered if that was the cover. So long as the print is uncut I'll be buying it anyway!

I agree, the font could be better. Not too keen on the arse either. But it's the cut that counts

Another point I missed out in my reaction to the artwork, the scene (poorly represented) in this cover shot was designed by il Maestro MARIO BAVA, one of the greatest cinema artistes EVER...it also p*sses on his artistry, I'm sorry if I come across too strongly about this but I feel strongly about it, please back to the drawing board on this do not let this be a representation of this film, Rick (if you're reading this) your work is great but sexual images is not the way to go with this one please take a step back & give us something that can do this film AND your art justice

Strong opinions indeed.
I wonder if any of the alternate panels will pacify people?

Am I right in thinking there will be four in total?
