Negative Positive
Title: Great film, horrible cover.
Review: Finally, Polañski's masterpiece gets a decent DVD release (the only previous one, from Brazil, suffered from horrendous quality), with a good transfer but, alas, practically no extras (primarily a short documentary, "Vampires 101"). Based on the information released so far, I only have two complaints - firstly, the imbecilic cover (this awful doodle looks like "Le Petit Nicolas" rather than "Fearless Vampire Killers"), and secondly, the apparent lack of the maligned animated introduction, made for the butchered cinematic release in USA. Yes, the introduction was horrible, but it should have been included as a bizarre curiosity (its lack is even more inexplicable considering that the Brazilian DVD *had* it as a bonus feature). Still, even if this disc is very poor in extra features, it should at least look nicely, if the Warners' promise of a restored transfer is true.
Is the review positive or negative?
