I voted B.
But I too would have gone for the one Inspetcor Tanzi posted.

I love the image of Flipside F; the juxtaposition of sex and violence we see in horror, and specifically Gialli.

I prefer the original design, very nice!! Otherwise B.

I saw this film earlier this year at the cinema and sadly thought it was artistic rubbish.

The thing I always liked about Giallo was when directors had pretentions and tried to fuse their sleaze with art film style. That's when the movies work best for me, teetering on a knife edge between the arthouse and the grindhouse.

I liked & voted D, although I'd rather see the design Inspector Tanzi posted.

Is it the French dvd cover? It's great!

I love giallo, I have shed-loads. Sadly this film isn't really a giallo in the classic sense. I fell in that trap earlier this year and was severely disappointed. So when watching it, don't expect Martino/Argento-like cinema, and keep a very wide open mind!! Absolutely beautiful to look at, absolutely boring/tedious to watch.

The problem with Amer is that they marketed it as a giallo, but as many people have mentioned - it isn't one. I went in watching it for what it was, rather than a giallo, and actually enjoyed it. So much so that I've already pre-ordered it off of Amazon. The choice of a flip-side is the icing on the cake, as I was horrified when I saw the front cover on offer: terrible!

C, E and F are the best options there. I love the "retro" looks of C and E...hmmm... all 6 optiojs are preferable to the actual cover, incidentally...

I'm going to go for C.

This should be included, as it is better than any of the other choices available.

Default Result!

In response to people trumpeting the original AMER poster artwork here and on our Facebook fan page, Anchor Bay have decided to feature it as a part of a double sided poster that will be included in the release!

Consumer power in action! I hope everyone who spoke up will be happy to have the art as a poster, but please keep voting on your favourite choice for the sleeve flipside...
