I really like the blueness of the reverse artwork.

Wonder what film its from?

A wasted opportunity.

Obviously 40-1 wasn't enough votes.

I had this artwork on a German hardbox and got rid of it.

Looks more to do with The Descent than Don't Go In the House.

I think you and me should chain ourselves outside Arrow's offices until they change it to the artwork it SHOULD be!

This was a video nasty and the reverse should've reflected that. Shame on you Arrow.

A wasted sales opportunity as well.

I know there are those that loathe the 'nasties' label,but the 'fans' and 'obsessives' FAR outweigh them.

This would have sold tenfold had that other artwork been used.

And unfortunately nothing can be done about it now since it's out on monday.

I like it! I've never seen it before but I like it! The only covers I was really aware of were the old arcade one, the shriek show one and the apex one (which wasn't really an option here). If I had my pick, I'd choose the Arcade one, though, so I'll have to just lick my wounds :-( At least I still have my old DGITH arcade box to comfort me :-)

I'm looking forward to checking out DGITH for the first time when I receive the ArrowDrome DVD.I've heard it's a right sleazefest with some genuinely nasty violence, sounds like my kind of movie.Despite the dodgy German artwork.

Id rank this with NIADB personally, though some may find the protagonist "annoying". For me i'm more interested to see if it's the fully u/c print after all these years......

It's definitely growing on me. I prefer it to the Arcade release cover for sure. I don't understand why people love those "Video Nasty" covers so much. They are almost always cheap, rushed, tacky and ugly (with the occasional exception like Tenebrae or Inferno). There is rarely any definitive "original artwork" for films - as we see it varies too much from country to country - and I don't get defending old artwork just because it is from the time of release if it is horrible!

At least this is quirky and odd. I slightly prefer the artwork that was on the Shriek Show, but this is increasingly looking like a good option to me. You just have to let it grow on you!

And, hey, it could have been the Apex artwork! So breathe a sigh of relief there!
