Really like this film and don't mind the 2nd either but they ain't worth more than £9.99 each so I'll wait for a drop. Can't see it selling out

Steel art reminds me of the evil dead remake
 
Looks pretty decent - the outside and the inside - with images totally related to each other across the front and back and all in that matching blood red colour (as if everything has been photographed through a red filter).
Now, where's its soulmate SAW hiding?

A very similar set up can be seen at the HOSTEL maze at Universal Studios:-



. . . and no worse than the image used for the 2014 German steelbook cover (by ART MACHINE):-

. . . a steelbook that was very well priced but marred by excessive print on both front and back and no inside art of any kind.

I was going to write that a couple of the other official poster choices are maybe a bit too "strong" for a 2016 steelbook cover but then I remembered the upcoming DRILLER KILLER steelbook and Amaray release . . . lol . . . an image high up on the list of offensive covers and an image that was one reason the video was banned here in the UK.

#1. Poster design by ART MACHINE with photography by RICO TORRES (similar image used on the 2006 U.K. BD cover) -------- #2. Poster design by ART MACHINE


Not forgetting at least one of the girls:-

One of those modern horror films (including his first film CABIN FEVER) that is a "cut above" most of its so-called rivals and 4 out of 5 stars in my viewing notes - for this and CABIN FEVER - in contrast to most modern films of that ilk that I have down as 1 or 2 out of 5.

I'm with you buddy! It was the same with Cabin Fever and Wolf Creek, both under £10 so I ordered then with discount. I be doing the same for this, and still not biting with The Mist at £14.99, one of my fav horror movies.
