So here is two covers for two different versions of the same movie the original 1997 german release and the 2007 American one. Both versions are directed by Michael Haneke and are essential shot for shot to each other. These films are horrifying and yet comical they make you shiver and close your eyes in anticipation of what is about to happen. The thing is throughout these films you never see the actual act of violence is all in implication and that is far worse your mind takes over and you imagine what isn't visually there, this is far more effective than the approach of films like saw or hostile. With these covers I wanted them to do a bit of the same you really are not sure what is going on but in you mind you know it isn't good you can kinda find yourself filling in the blanks which can lead your mind to dark places. I find these images to have a very unsettling effect even though they are really showing you nothing and that is how the films are. I did one for each version of the film figured it would make a nice criterion collection box set.
