What film is this?

[gronge]

Hi guys,

I remember this vivid VHS cover whenever I went to the video store as a kid growing up in the 90s. I can't remember what the name of the film was but the cover was so scary that it has since been stuck in my mind (I'm 20 now).

From memory, the cover has a man's head in the dark, cloudy sky. He has no hair as the top of his head merges with the dark sky or clouds. His head also doesn't take up the whole cover but more of the corner of it with what might be a house on a hill. I'm pretty sure it's a horror film as it is rated 18+ and has a very dark theme.

Could anyone please help locate this film?

Thanks.

Hmm...How about this?



Same movie, but he has hair. Similar to what you are describing though.

It is none of those films I'm afraid.

The film is probably from the 90s or maybe somewhere in the 80s. The cover is black and white and the man's head looks like a tornado is about to form from the clouds.

This picture I drew below is from a memory that is 14 years old so please forgive its obscurity and my lack of drawing skills haha.

Not the same layout as your drawing, but is it Fright Night?

I think it could be "Fright Night", but could it also be "Return of the Living Dead 2"? That does not have a house on a hill cover, but otherwise it fits, it does have the face of man in a horrific distorted cloud, but it is seen hovering above a few houses, though the houses are quite small.

I didn't think of that one, yeah, that could be it.

None of those films either I'm afraid.

Because this was so long ago, the film might not be a horror film at all but the age rating and dark theme of it doesn't make sense for it to be something else.
