Fuck. That's awful

This is better than this, and they're both better than the old AB cover.

This would do, in a pinch.

That's staggeringly lazy. I think I'll hold out for the possibility of a German release or something.

"This would do" - Good find, Barry!

Barbara Shelley! Hubba hubba.

I didn't like this cover at first, but it's growing on me. It could be better, but still...

I'll wait to see what the discs like before buying it though. I *did* have it on preorder but cancelled it last week. I don't want to get my hopes up too high for this release, only to have them dashed at the last minute.

Are we sure that's a real cover? Hard to imagine they could spell "devastate" wrong.

It's the real cover...but like most pre-release stuff, what you're seeing is probably final print mock-up. That said, I wouldn't be surprised at all of the spelling error making it to print as, within the number of genre BD/DVDs I've imported in recent years from the UK, you'd be surprised at the amount of minor blunders that sneak through in their sleeves (mind you, here in Oz isn't much better). Quality control isn't just lacking when it comes to the authoring of discs with some companies -- it appears some of them don't even have a proof-reader amongst their comps.

Regarding some UK companies, this is very, very true, and is a pet peeve of mine.
