It leads you to think he is more an openly psychotic character going on a killing spree. Where as the film is more a slow burning drama/psychological thriller.

Seems as if they are aiming at a lower common denominator to try and yes get more sales.

But i really think that states how dumb they think there customers are.

Maybe it's just me but, a guy with a mohawk, wearing sunglasses and a jacket, doesn't scream 'openly psychotic killer' so I don't see your point here.


Maybe it's cause everyone is crazy where you live 


Apparently I live there as well since I agree with Mad Martian. Of course, the two of us apparently live in Bizarro land where Best Buy employees are helpful so...

I guess that guy from Glee is also openly psychotic and going on a killing spree. More like a spree of singing and dancing.
It was the 70s and mohawks were a thing. There is nothing misleading in that cover.

What Oregon? I thought it was rather nice up there in the Pacific North West minus the weather. A lot majestic lakes, forests and breath taking mountains Crater Lake National Park springs to mind.
