Repairing Digipack (Cardboard Wrap) Case.

[jee]

Hey folks,

Ordered Atroz Limited Edition from Unearthed Films, and when it arrived, one of the 3 disc holders (center) was completely detached from the cardboard backing. The 4 glue spots were attached and it did not damage the cardboard backing (has image on it) luckily.

I have not tried to repair one of these before and I do not want to destroy the image / cardboard backing while attempting to reglue the clear disc holder back onto it. Figured I would touch base with you folks to perhaps suggest the proper glue that the manufacturer uses. It seems to be that really good stuff that is designed not to damage and is easily peelable off of virtually any surface without leaving a residue (though on some j cards made of paper I have noticed a mild oily residue that you cannot get rid of).

Would appreciate any advice in this regard. Thanks!

Just like to point out, that I am half way through this film (Atroz) and this is the most extreme torture porn from the exploitation genre I have seen yet, and I have essentially seen it all. I would describe it as overkill like Ichi the Killer (cartoonish in nature) meets ultra realistic like Angst.

Honestly, for someone who has seen much actual footage of violence (Documenting Reality, Livelinks, Rotton.com etc) it certainly lacks realism as the body doesn't really react to trauma in such a theatrical way but for someone who has not been exposed to real footage of violence up close, this one may just mess you up.

Just an Fyi, probably not a good blind buy unless you know what your getting into.

One of the biggest tells when it comes to identifying fake gore from real footage of violence, is blood spatter and how the blood reacts with the environment. Film has never been able to properly produce blood that looks accurate, such as how blood pools, what it looks like when absorbed by fabrics (color and pigment), etc. Though this is likely done on purpose to a certain degree, as real violence while is nowhere near as messy, it has a certain effect on you, and even someone who is being subjected to it for the first time knows what I mean, it is really a whole different thing to experience even from behind a screen.

I can also point out that as a huge horror fan and a fan of mondo films and exploitation genre, when seeing the real thing on the screen I find it repellant, and makes me feal uneasy. Oddly enough the first time I saw a detailed video of real violence up close, I felt that uneasy and unpleasant feeling before even knowing what I was seeing was real, it's almost instinctive to naturally resent being exposed to such things.
