Even worse, the original film got its own release with a great cover:

You have to admit Jimmy Stewart does look like he just saw a mouse or a huge spider. 😉

It’s ugly. That’s what’s wrong with it.

THE WAYS OF HIS HEART ARE MUCH LIKE THE SUN. SONIC RUNS AND RESTS; THE SUN RISES AND SETS.

That’s rather mean to say, considering it’s just James Stewart’s face.

Jimmy’s face is great. But the use of color and the flowers and whatnot is not pleasing to the eye. Those bright colors don’t even feel representative of the film at all.

The whole film is red and green. Its use of color is one of the things it’s best known for. In fact, that cover is ripped straight from it.

Yeah but the cover doesn’t look like that shot. The flowers are ugly and his face isn’t straight up green in the actual shot. Also the red background isn’t visually compelling without the lines in the shot.

The green is much more exaggerated on the cover but his face does turn greenish. The flowers are also from the sequence. The red is fine. You’re very wrong.

His face flashes a greenish yellow but it’s never actually green, and the flowers don’t appear over his face. I find the intensity of the colors and the placement of the objects unpleasant to look at. Putting just his face over a colored and striped background from the sequence and putting the flower bit on the back without that staircase would be a better look.

Overall, I do like that Vertigo art. I agree with Dek, though, that the colours are a wee bit too bold.

They chose red and green because the entire film revolves around red and green. The cover is just an amalgamation of everything that appears in that dream sequence, which I would argue is the most memorable scene of the film. Definitely the most surreal. However, I can’t argue your personal taste.

I’m surprised it wasn’t set around Christmas.

The packaging is pretty awful, too.
And of course, life wouldn’t be complete without terrible Star Wars releases with Vadersionism covers:
Caligula’expanded OST, V2 Released
The Shining’s complete OST
