Decent collection 31 July 2011
Format:DVD
"My best friend is a vampire" - well, "Fright night" or "Vamp" can sleep soundly in their movie coffins, hehe. This one is more subtle, teen comedy orientated, like say - vampire answer to "Teen Wolf". Mostly for nostalgic fans of 80's, because of lack of real good jokes or special effects here. Even David Warner as Van Helsing-type doesn't help much.

"Repossessed" - good, but not great spoof of (arguably) most popular horror movie ever. Poor Linda Blair vomits peas again, supported by another actor appearing in original franchise - Ned Beatty. But the star here is late Leslie Nielsen, uncrowned king of spoof comedies. This one is rather tounge-in-cheek, very undemanding, but good for few laughs.

"Slaughter High" - good slasher, marred by suicidal death of it's main star, Simon Scuddamore (Marty). Yet, how they tried to fool us by pretending that well-over-30 then Caroline Munro is also a teenager? Nevermind. Well done revenge flick.

"Silent night deadly night III: Better watch out!" - better switch it off, rather. Bore and chore, inept, build on and absurd idea. Only for die-hard fans of this series (are they any?).

Movies are OK, but full-frame only... 20 Feb 2011
By Jr. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
These movies from Lionsgate are available at a fair price, but they reuse old transfers (likely from original video sources). They are not remastered at all, and are all presented full-frame only. I would not recommend the set unless you are a fan of one of the films. I don't expect perfection from older films, but if Severin, Code Red or even Anchor Bay had released these, they would probably be properly framed at least.

Two Outta Four 17 May 2011
By Texas Rugger - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I picked up this DVD specifically for "My Best Friend is a Vampire." This is cheesey goodness like a fine roquefort. The only person in the movie who can't act is the "we need a Molly Ringwald type" (MRT) cast as the female lead, but everyone else in the movie is gold. Including acadamy award winner Kathy Bates as MRT's mom. I don't know what became of the actor that played the lead's best friend, but that guy should have won some kind of award. I could watch this movie 100 times. There is absoultely nothing about this movie that isn't predictable, and arguably not as good as the early Jim Carrey vampire schlock fest "Once Bitten," (another movie I could watch a few hundred times). Still, if you are looking for an enjoyable 80's flashback, you could do worse than this movie.

Repossessed does to "The Exorcist" what Airplane did to "Zero Hour." Leslie Neilson (RIP) is great as the old priest. There are some truly funny bits and others that try and don't quite make it. Still, if you are in the mood for a quality send-up, this is a good way to go.

I have not watched Slaughter High or Silent Night, Deadly Night 3 (or for that matter, either of the first two of this magnum opus). The good news is I paid 9$, and 4.50 for each of the first two is more than a great price. If you have not seen My Best Friend is a Vampire, and you enjoy 80's fromage, pick this up.
