Worst DVD Covers...ever! (Part 4K)

[Big Ben]

"If my apartment spoke" isn't a bad Portuguese translation at least! My favorite was probably Inverno de Sangue em Veneza for Don't Look Now!

[Cremildo]

Yes, "Blood Winter in Venice" is a great title for Roeg's film. It sounds appropriately foreboding and macabre in Portuguese.

Only belongs here because it's using the font for "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".

[Never Cursed]

[Mooney]

Ol' Burt looking like a marsupial.

I think this is far more confounding in its existance than an example of bad design. But still, the fuck is this?!

[Zot!]

Id guess a collection of title themes on CD?

But it's beautiful! It's a very well composed image, with lovely colours. And I like the cleaver-cleavage visual rhyme.

Something looks off to me. I'm not sure, but I think it's because the visual painting-like style seems so simplified in its lack of texture that it makes the drawing looks like a very low rez one. Or a very DNR one, à la Le samourai @ Pathé.

[domino harvey]

It’s either just a “paint” filter applied to existing imagery or the work of an artist who produces work that looks like same

[DRW.mov]

Nope, this is Mark Maddox’s work. He’s an oil painter. I much preferred his Dracula Prince of Darkness cover, which is a shame because this is a better movie.

[domino harvey]

This wouldn't be a bad cover except neither Mitzi Gaynor nor David Wayne were even alive when this film is set, so

[criterionsnob]

WTF

Purchasing the Peter Coyote Sims expansion pack finally paid off for whoever made this cover

[Big Ben]

I saw that cover announced today on Facebook and said to myself "This will be in the Worst DVD Covers Ever Thread before the end of the day.". This is a scene from the film yes? Surely it doesn't look that bad in the film?

[cdnchris]

I know I saw that film but I'm damned if I can remember anything about it

It’s based on one of the original press stills from the film

That’s perfectly fine and it conveys the nature of the puzzles too (there’s a fair bit of physics-defying shenanigans in some of the rooms). I’m actually impressed they did artwork like that for a movie like Escape Room instead of just slapping the poster on there and calling it done.

And for the record, Escape Room is cute but not great. It’s a kind-of riff on Cube with a fad thrown on as a veneer.

About a prison escapee on fire named Bull?
