Summary: Good deal but...
Comment: This movie pack from mill creek entertainment contains 50 movies and who can argue with the value of that. But the movies are iffy some ranging from unwatchable to laugh out loud bad. These are your run of the mill eighties horror films. Picture quality like all budget dvds is terrible some of the films are to dark to see others are blurry fiddling around with your TV settings can help but its better to stick to a small TV for these what it boils down to is are you willing to drop 15 bucks for a month of movies even though you know that the ratios are funny for example
Movies in pack :50
Movies that are not even in the same genre as the pack :2-4
Movies that are unwatchable due to transfers:5-8
Movies so terrible you wont finish them 5-8
Movies that are funny because they are so terrible 10
Decent films 10
Suprisingly good films
this is an average of movie packs and depends on taste of course but you will see my point when you watch them but if you like only a few films youll get your money worth

Summary: Not quite a four... but better than a three
Comment: First off, I also own Mill Creeks "Terror" collection, which for my money is the better collection to buy. However, I bought this one first, and while I'm still wodnering how Mill Creek differentiates between "chilling" and "terror" I can tell you this; the one main difference I see is ERA. Whilist the "Terror" collection features movies mainly from the 1920s - 30s, this collection is almost exclusively 1970s. That in itself is not a bad thing, because 70s B Films are still good (...by B Film perspectives) but they are a totally different breed than the Atomic Age goofiness of the 1950s/60s or the Victorian 1930s (I'm aware Queen Victoria was dead by then, but the horror films from the 30s all seem to have a rather Victorian style about them).
There's a few totally unwatchable films here ("Oasis of the Zombies") and there's a few really goofy/ funny ones (the best being future "Lord of the Rings" director's "Bad Taste").
Its a good collection. Its well rounded and most of the films are enjoyable for the camp or for riffing. However, I'm much more of a "Terror" guy, I guess.
Thanks be to Mill Creek! These compilations are great!

Comment: Good movie selections, mostly, with a few great out-of-print movies and a few dogs. Picture and sound quality, though, is terrible.

Summary: A lot of fun movies for a great price
Comment: I own several of these Mill Creek DVD boxed sets, and I must admit that this one is my favorite. Probably because it has some of the cheesiest and silliest B-movies out there, most of which are very enjoyable.
The movies range from those made in the 60s to the 1980s, with most in color. You get cult classics like Roger Corman's "A Bucket of Blood" and Peter Jackson's "Bad Taste" to pure schlock like "Drive-In Massacre" and "Horrors of Spider Island". Then there are those in the "pretty good" category, such as "The Blancheville Monster", which is heavy on Gothic atmosphere, and "Silent Night, Bloody Night", a somewhat bloody slasher flick. Also you get "The Ghost", a Barbara Steele flick, and "Horror Express" with Christopher Lee.
In short, a lot of fun movies at a good price.

Summary: Okay.
Comment: The movies are okay. There are some good ones, but also some lame ones, and they are basically 1970 movies with poor visual quality. Yet, I would say a value for the price.
