absolutely nothing ..

i would never buy a movie based on the cover - i'd have to know something about it or go by the star/s/filmmaker


there are movies i wouldnt consider based on the cover.
i can always tell a piece of shit by how much work went into it (there is an air of desperation about it) and what pictures they chose to put on the cover.

the worse the movie - the more skin they try to show.

dead birds is a nice addition to the low budget horror family.
it's far better than the cover would lead you to believe.

good acting, funky story, decent effects....
i believe this one is a forum favorite.

That's exactly what I did and got screwed. Overall I paid 6 bucks for an ok movie but it was still very disappointing.

that happens .... but then - as far as the thread is concerned ... you wernt sucked in by the cover in the 1st place...


thats a different topic - and one where i have also been reeled in a couple of times .. (on the rep of the filmmaker/star, etc) and it ended up being a piece of shit.

But...I'd be afraid that if I did that, I might miss out on something pretty cool......I can't turn my back on a horror movie just because I don't know the people involved....I really liked Bone Snatcher, and I didn't know a thing about it before I bought it...

What about Indie films?...Movies by people just starting out?

I'll give almost anything that's considered 'horror' at least a chance...

I didn't know anything about The Shaft either, and it wasn't exactly an 'excellent' movie...But, I was glad that I bought it...It was kinda fun...


Also...I HAVE bought some movies that I DID know something about the people involved...But, that didn't keep them from being bad...


EDIT: What I'm really trying to say here is...If I DON'T know something about a movie...Sometimes the picture on the cover is ALL that I have to go by.....Sometimes I luck out...But, sometimes I get screwed...
