crazy to put so much time, effort and money into a 4k and then use what appears to be art made on MS paint on a first generation acer.

It is, uh, something. It exists. Yep, that's the nicest thing I can say about it.

Demon Dave really should reach out to The Batman Professor on here and have him do some artwork. His slipcover work is always top notch.

This looks like that pop art style you see on some steelbooks, prob not the best fit for a slasher. Where they went wrong was not having glow in the dark blood

It looks like a paint by numbers using MS Paint kind of artwork.

It's a freeze frame from the movie with some weird "cartoon" filter. Very laughable.

Hope the case cover will be the superior theatrical art.

Damonstein · 03-17-2023, 03:04 PM

Yeah I don't think it's even a real drawing, just a screen grab they rotoscoped. The poster is pretty cool idk why he went with this.

Maybe it will look better in person, you never know. Some of the pop art steelbooks looked terrible in the online pic but then looked slightly less terrible in person.

So, remember that time Code Red did a weird re-creation of the poster art, and had a real dude standing and holding a knife on the cover of their DVD of Final Exam?

Yeah.

Even THAT was better than this 4K slipcover. Good lord. LOL

I'm weird, but I don't mind that DVD art. I've never cared for original poster art for Final Exam at all. I'm pretty confident everyone would be trashing the hell out of it too if it was new and not the original.

I think they are trying to outdo Hard Rock Nightmare. That artist needed to go back and retake the class on proportions and perspective....

This guy needs to go back to art school.

WZA · 03-17-2023, 07:08 PM

Ha ha, well played Dark Force! It's a little early for an April Fools' Day joke but you got me.

Seriously though, what does the real slipcover look like?

Bradsdadg · 03-17-2023, 09:37 PM

The people have spoken:

NOW TELL US HOW YOU REALLY FEEL! Due to popular demand we have decided to not use this slipcover. (Although it may make a cool magnet) The new FINAL EXAM 4K/Blu-ray discs are currently in replication and we are whipping up a new slipcover. Stand by for a special preview. We appreciate your feedback and hope the next one will be more to everyone's liking. And stay tuned for your chance to be the first to order the awesome DARK FORCE #3 in the 4K SERIES of the US theatrical cult horror classic FINAL EXAM (1981)

Matt89 · 03-17-2023, 09:45 PM

Christ, just put the original art on the damn slipcover and call it a day. It's REALLY not that hard.

Hey Dave, any more Dead Pit coming soon, or will that take a while? Wondering if I should hold off on an order or not

Me when every label has to have newly commissioned comic book style art with 800 characters and objects from the movie randomly floating around.

Ruined · 03-17-2023, 10:37 PM

Hope the guy who designed the now canceled cover is doing ok lol

My copy of The Dead Pit 4K arrived today, but my slip had two ugly creases on the front side. Color me vexed.

Maybe he can redeem himself by making a textured, scratch and sniff cover for "Water Power". It would be the release of the year!
