Bad artwork for two David Sterling films

Before the website went down I wrote about a conversation I had with low budget producer David Sterling (Camp Blood series, Gothic Vampires From Hell) about a few of his upcoming releases. At that time he told me Razor Digital Entertainment, a company with a weird name that primarily releases exercise DVDs but has distributed several of Sterling’s films in the past, was going to release three of his films on April 15th. First was The Curse of Lizzie Borden: Prom Night, which I previously reported. It had some fine artwork and was perfectly fit for release at the same time JS Cardone’s Prom Night reimagination was coming out in theaters.

There was no artwork for the other two at the time David and I spoke. I saw on the Razor Digital website that Queen Cobra and Things had artwork posted. David Sterling was referring to Queen Cobra as Snakes on a College Campus during our conversation.

When a deranged college professor meets an over-eager student, terror strikes the science department! Taking advantage of the unsuspecting girl’s enthusiasm, the professor runs experiments of a venomous nature.

Almost immediately, vicious murders take place around campus at a biting pace! Suddenly, the professor’s creature can no longer be controlled and has an appetite of its own.

Revenge against the man who has stolen her humanity is on the menu! How many innocent students will pave the way filling her taste for wrath!

So wait . . . The movie isn’t about snakes on a college campus? It’s about a woman that is turned into a snake? Or a snakegirl? That’s a damn shame. Regardless, how could that artwork entice anyone to rent Queen Cobra? The ‘Queen’ appears to be laying dead and motionless with a tagline “Where science meets slaughter”. So, is science behind the reason for her lifeless form? Who wants to see that? Who wants to rent a horror movie that comes packaged liked the cover of a cheap horror novel?

As for Things, a bloody anthology film that David produced for his first film, I’m not sure if the artwork is better or worse than the original. I’m inclined to say worse, since at least the original made me want to see the film out of a morbid curiosity to see just what sort of movie would have such a wacky box. What’s with the bricks? Why is it ‘Un-Rated’ instead of ‘Unrated’? It’s a very fun film though.
