DVD Reviews of Horror 250 Movie Pack
DVD Review: GOOD COMPILATION, BAD PICTURE DEFINITION
Summary: 2 Stars
The 250 Horror Movie Pack is really a dream for many cult movies hunters, because includes some material that is very difficult to find. For example, includes two spanish cult movies (The Sound Of Death and The Fury of the Wolfman), unedited in Spain.
Apart from the value of that compilation and de more tan reasonable price, the bad news are the low picture quality of the feature films. Not only most of them are simply transcriptions of VHS tapes, but the compression rate is very poor, so they look even with less quality.
DVD Review: A real bargain - but beware, you're getting quantity over quality
Summary: 5 Stars
The Mill Creek Horror Collection 250 Movie Pack gives you a ridiculous amount of value for the money. At around 20 cents a title, how can you go wrong?
I've had this for a couple of months and have managed to watch about 20 of the movies so far. I can't comment on everything, but I figure what I've seen so far is a good snapshot of the whole collection.
I'm giving this five stars because it's so much for so little, but I do have a few things to critique.
First of all, image and sound quality tend to range from poor to mediocre. All of the movies I've seen so far are watchable, but in many cases a poor quality print of the film was used and in some cases, the transfers look like they were made from VHS tapes that had been played a few too many times. If you're a fanatic for razor-sharp images and crystal clear sound, you're not going to find it here. You'll need to let go of that to enjoy this collection. To make an analogy, think of major studio releases made from the best available film prints as being like hard-cover books. This, on the other hand, is like a box full of dog-eared paperbacks.
As for the movies themselves, I think the title "Horror Collection" very loosely applies. There are actually a number of genres in this package, most of which seem to fall into the horror, sci-fi, and fantasy categories. So far I've seen a couple of movies that would be more accurately described as film noir or docudrama. I think it's safe to say the entertainment value varies widely. Some of the films are quite good. There are even a few classics scattered throughout the collection. Many are duds, and some are just plain strange!
A large number of the films are of foreign origin (badly dubbed English can be entertaining all by itself) and the years of release run from the silent era to the 1990s. Some of the best titles are from the silent era.
One very important note is that the age appropriate audience for these films is all over the map. Some of them are suitable for, and even aimed at children. Some are strictly for adults. The film ratings are listed on the individual disc sleeves. Be sure to pay attention to the ratings and maybe pre-screen unrated titles if there are children around who might watch them.
The packaging is simple and very well done (see customer images for a better look). There is a sturdy outer box with all of the titles listed on the back. There's an inner flip-top box which contains all of the discs in their own separate sleeves with brief descriptions of the titles including the ratings or lack thereof and years of release. The discs are double sided and there's an average of four titles per disc. You'll have an instant library that takes up very little shelf space.
If you are a fan of the low budget and the obscure, you'll find a lot to like here, and you'll find it at a price that won't break the bank!
DVD Review: Pretty good for the price.....
Summary: 4 Stars
I decided to buy this set for my kids, they're pre-teens and they're getting out for summer vacation pretty soon, and I wanted them to have a variety of movies to watch. The set is pretty good, we've watched several of them over the weekend, some can be a little cheesy but my kids got a kick out of that. I do have to say some do have some nudity so I had to be careful about which ones I put on, they mainly wanted to watch the sci-fi ones and those were good for them. All in all they're good for the price, some of the very very old ones the audio and visual quality wasn't great, but what can we expect from movies that were made 70 yrs ago, right? They saw a few of the silent ones and they didnt seem to mind that, I was real surprised to see they knew exactly what was going on without the voices. I personally am very glad I own some of our Hollywood beginnings! DVD Review: Nice collection of horror B-movies
Summary: 4 Stars
I have always been a fan of horror and thriller movies, although they almost all where boxoffice movies up trough the 80's and 90's till today, I also longed for some old classic B-movies.
This is the perfect box. The funny thing is, that the movies that suck the most, are actually some of the funniest. And on top of that, the good B-movies are really okay.
The only downside from this buy is that (living in Denmark, Europe), the danish taxes was higher then the actually cost for the box... hmm, but that seems to be my own fault.
The only reason I wont give it 5 stars is, that I miss some more good quality B-movies in this pack, maybe som more Christoffer Lee and Vincent Price would be nice.
Finally I know how it all began! :)
DVD Review: 5 Stars If You Like Classic Horror AND want the 70s 80s stuff too.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're a fan of 20s/50s Horror AND 70s/80s Sci Fi and Horror....Lucky You.
This 250 pack has most of what Mill Creek has to offer in both genres at about
20 cents per movie. ($50.00)
The 250 Horror Pack is basically a reissue of five 50 Packs
50 Pack Horror Classics
50 Pack SciFi
50 Pack Nightmare Worlds
50 Pack Night Screams
50 Pack Tales of Terror
If you're a classic horror fan and don't want to dig thru a bunch of low budget Sci Fi
discs to find the horror movies, I would recommend the 50 Horror Pack.
The 50 Horror Pack is Mill Creek's cream of the crop. ($15.00)
Mill Creek Collections - My Ratings
#1) 20 Pack Cult Classics (Very Unique 30s/50s Movies - Drugs Prostitution etc.)
#2) 50 Pack Horror Classics (Cream of the Crop with 20s Silent Horror Classics)
#3) 50 Pack Dark Crimes (Includes some good "film noir" at a bargain price)
#4) 50 Pack Crime Classics (More 30s movies than Dark Crimes - "pre film noir")
Mill Creeks SciFi collections are more suited for Mystery Science Theatre fans.
Budget SciFi, B-Westerns, and Hercules movies are not my cup of tea.
