Well, this sure beats the basic US amaray.... it is not great, but not bad either. Definite buy for me.

One of the 3 great "true" horror movies that have withstood the test of time: The Exorcist, The Shining, and Halloween.

 

[djprodikis]

Wow that's bad..

 

[davidson]

Ugh, there are so many iconic images in this movie and they go with that??

 

[Genocide]

It's the same front from the spanish collector edition from 6 years ago...

at the 6:23 mark.

I'll be passing on this, too minimal and boring. Shame for such a classic movie!

 

[Steeler]

Not too exited about this one to be honest. I like the artwork, but it just feels a bit too clean and safe. I think the door would need to have some really impressive emboss/deboss for me to double dip. I like this design style for 2001, but that's just a different movie.

What about the typewriter scene?

I might get this one if you promise to do Barry Lyndon next, Zavvi (I love the Barry Lyndon poster version that was on the UK snapcase cover)!!

 

[alvinhwang21]

its nice artwork... if we haven't seen it on everything a million times over.

The should change the back with him busting through the door.
Like the one oxo66 posted.

I also like the design with the carpet and Danny playing on it as well.

 

[DJ IXS]

wow...I'm sorry to say this but almost every single thread of new steelbooks posted all say the same thing about the artwork....that they all SUCK! and you know what... you're all RIGHT!!!

what the hell is up with all this LAZINESS!!?!? bottom line is with so many steels being released nowadays, if you want us to keep on continuing to collect then STEP YOUR GAME UP!!!!!

this message isn't to any one specific retailer or film distributer, its to everyone! c'mon PLEASE look at some of the amazing art some of our very own members put up before you decide. I understand everything has to be approved by the heads of the company but a freakin' door with "redrum" written on it as the front cover!?!? c'mon!!

I am sure we will get changes before release,inside art especially,still love the back artwork,not so much that front

 

[ajninfedih]

At least it matches 2001 Canada SteelBook.

 

[Jnavotheman]

I dunno about this, gonna have think about it before I buy

 

[Heche1981]

This is not very good artwork. Of all the iconic images from the film, they have used none of them!

I expected the inside artwork to have been either Nicholson poking his head through the axed door, or the kid on the trike

Either one of the images below would have been better suited than what they chose:

 

[urbeenjammin]

the composition is terrible.the door gives the illusion of free floating in mid-air.
if they really need to use this design.they need to add some depth around the door to give it a sense of proper dimensionality.
also,the title cant be completely inline with the width of the door.it needs to extend quite a bit more to give it adequate balance.i haven't seen all the design this movie have had but why is the title in small caps???
whats with the yellow line between the title and the door.you can easily remove that as well.

 

[neoz]

Maybe we can get to vote on this one that way people don't get upset like WiR.

 

[Gamesgaryjp]

This looks pretty poop to be honest. Couldve looked amazing.
