Those 'Nightmare on Elm street' and 'Let the right one in' arts look outstanding.Not the biggest fan of this dark artwork but admit it's an original treatment compared to all the other Hellraiser artworks that have gone before.
Not this artist's first work for Mondo with his posters and his "Suspiria" artwork . . . but I believe it's his first Arrow home video/audio cover.
Like his style a lot but like it even more when a splash of colour is applied to the B&W mix as in his "Nightmare on Elm Street", "Let the Right One In" or his "Jaws" (variant) posters:-

Most of his stuff is a lot more colourful but others quite sober like this one for "Hellraiser", "Black Swan" and "Jaws" as but a few examples . . . a look at his more varied style can be found here http://www.worksofmattryan.com/

Certainly a cool steelbook and a rare thing to have the same artist's work splashed across both the inside and the outside
Anyway, pre-ordered my copy.
Better safe than sorry.
Don't act in haste, repent at leisure . . . with the addition of a single word to the famous phrase thus giving an opposite meaning to the accepted meaning of said phrase
This is exactly what i was saying, since it's a cgi video we can't be sure if the steelbook will be actually glossy. My bet is, it won't. (please let me be wrong)
.......and there i was, getting all pumped up! Ha, not really a big problem if it's not, but i think it would look better if it WAS. Regardless, i think this steelbook will look nice in hand..........how many times do Arrow disappoint? I think this will sell out.......soon. But i think it will also be released in the US? Not sure.
Arrow told me last week there will also be a USA release of the steelbook
Arrow told me last week the steelbook will also have a USA/Canada release from Arrow Video I will post purchase links and release date details when known
For the life of me, i cant see why these companies cant do us collectors a favour every now and then? - we spend alot of money with them, we buy their products every time they have ANOTHER limited edition re-re-release of the same movie with the same extras, MINUS the booklet they used to include as standard in their steelbook releases ( "the thing" and this don't have booklets.......just a single, "same content as 2 years previous" disc). Oh, but the same price as one of their dual format steelbook releases with booklet. Wouldnt hurt to show a bit of appreciation now and then - after all, Arrow in particular are creaming it these days, lots of their limiteds sell out. So, with this so called 30th anniversary edition, why can't they go the extra inch? Oh, and tickets for the screening at Prince Charles cinema........£55??!! MADNESS! Come on Arrow, show some gratitude to those who are spending ALOT of hard earned with you.......regularly.
