You may not know this, but when I troll through the new releases at Amazon, I wishlist all the DVDs which look like they have genre content, but don’t have any product image — just that curving arrow that looks like a smile. This DVD, Kill With the Dance, has been sitting coverless on my wishlist since April 5 of this year.
I just found the cover on Buy.com. Suddenly I know why Amazon thought it had a better shot at sales without it.
Camera phones have many great uses. Taking the shots for the front of your DVD cover is not one of them.

Still photographers and cover designers cost, like, money, man…

Not if you hand the cover design duties to Aunt Hilde, who did such a good job with last year’s Christmas letter. She even got to re-use the same template.

That bottom shot is quite daring.
In that I can’t believe they’d dare use such a blurry shot for their DVD cover.

Wow, “Taylor Hayden.” Not one, but TWO stereotypically millennial names. Makes me feel old, knowing that these kids are now old enough to be multi-hyphenates on no-budget horror vids. Next we’ll be seeing a suburban zombie opus by Mercedes Dakota.

Hmm… Mercedes Dakota? Oh, yeah: Brittany Caitlyn’s granddaughter!

Hmm… Is that the same Taylor Hayden from “Gives Me Chills Part X”?

I would hate to think there are two such individuals.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3111034/ lists both this and the title from Part X.
