This new artwork doesn´t even look similar to the earlier ones. And that the creator put all animals on the front to see that it is really The Witch shows how uninspired that one is. Also the sepia treatment is looking strange in a bad way and it doesn´t look like a horror-movie anymore.

Color thing is so ... far out I cannot even comment it. About earlier art : it was all about ... see for yourself : (and you can see the sepia was there from day one) ...

The earlier treatment from the steelbook looked better imo and the blueish style is quite good. I thought it is the original one.

What stays is the sh!tty new artwork on the slip - I just don´t like it, but maybe it looks better in real.

Dear Customer,

Unfortunately we need to delay our release of The Witch until June 20th. We have made this decision in order to create a new HDR grade for the 4K UHD release, working closely with director Robert Eggers who will be supervising. This is going to take some time but we felt it was an important decision to make and will allow us to present the film in the best possible way.

We’re very sorry about this delay but hope you’ll agree it will be worth spending the additional time on this release.
