Either number 1 or number 2, but If my vote must be for a specific one, I'd have to the first one.

I do like 3. The original UK vhs artwork by Graham Humphreys. Unfortunately I don't like title-less steelbooks. Oh well!

There is so much going on in number 3's artwork I didn't even notice there wasn't a title Maybe thats why 4 is more popular so far.

I think you are right:

Loving that art.. do you think they could swap 4 to that.. that would be my favourite

 

[SaberTooth]

its very close between option 1 and 4 imo.... option 2 is next best after those, but option 3 is clearly the worst imo

Anyway I finally decided to cast my for vote Option 1

 

[Skog]

Do we know if this will start off zavvi exclusive but end up on the Arrow site like The Beyond did?

 

[Necroscope]

Love #3! It's so dynamic, and I like that it doesn't have a title. I'm a little shocked that people are loving #4 so much. It's pretty boring in my opinion.

 

[severo]

i'd take anything (1,2,3) except of artwork 4. i don't understand either, it's plain boring and dull...and it also doesn't fit a horror movie. it looks well-behaving like for a children's movie imho.

Is it just me or does #1 look like she is right at the peak of a really good orgasm?

 

[Noodles]

I think it's great to see so many people with different opinions regarding the four artwork choices... makes it more exciting that way imo. It's between 1 and 4 for me, although I still haven't quite decided which to go for yet.

I've actually never seen or even heard of the movie, but it looks interesting, and anything with Jennifer Connelly in I need to check out!

Thanks to Zavvi/Arrow for giving the HDN community the chance to vote... it's very much appreciated.

 

[Troll2Fan]

All 4 choices are bad and not worth voting for, and it's a shame because I love this flick.

 

[Sigill]

Great film! I think number 1 is the only artwork I haven't seen before, the others have been on other editions. I will go for Number 4.

4 is the the safer choice but 3 gets my vote

Arrow steels rarely disappoint btw

For a split second I thought there were doing a steelbook of Oscar-contender Philomena (which is so far from steelbook material - though there's one of The King's Speech, and I'd be down for it actually, above all else it's a great film).

Voted for #2. I'm not a huge fan of all the empty black space, but I just love the drawing at the bottom, very beautiful, and it clashes with the menacing hands above.

I'm okay with all of them (#1 would be a tad disappointing though), but I'm not a huge fan of either artwork.

I think you are right:

Would be pretty awesome if they made a lenticular slipcover with her regular face (like choice #4) and her decaying face (that poster above).

I honestly would buy it instantly just for that. Also, there's Jennifer Connelly, she's one of these women who don't age (also in the club is Jennifer Beals, maybe it's something about being called Jennifer ).

This one has been for sale for a few weeks.
Listed as a steelbook....hmmmmmm. German i believe.

 

[kp404]

I like 3 the most...the others are too bland and I like when Arrow does the collage creative covers

 

[kaworu nagisa]

I just watched the movie and OH MY GOD WHAT DID I JUST WATCH. WHAT. WHAT. From te poster it looked kind of like one of those 80s teen movies where it's just a girl with powers who ~finds herself~ (basically Teen Witch) but I could not have been more wrong. Jesus ding dang diddly crackle snap. I should have guessed what the movie would be like from the director, really, but we all make mistakes okay guys
