Superior 50 pack with an eclectic mix
7 Sep 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
First off, a warning: I count at least 17 titles on this set recycled from previous Mill Creek releases, mostly their Crown International 12 packs. The reused titles I've noticed are:
The Amazing Transparent Man
The Bat [1959]
Brain Twisters
The Crater Lake Monster
The Creeping Terror
The Day Time Ended
Death Machines
Evil Brain From Outer Space
Galaxina
Hands of Steel
The Head
Horror High
The Manster
Night Fright
Night of the Blood Beast
War of the Robots
The Wasp Woman
If you don't have the previous releases this isn't a problem, and the set's still a good value regardless, but I figure you might want to know.
With that out of the way, the rest of this pack is a doozy. We get a fantastic mix of films, from the '30s through the '90s, in the horror/sci-fi/action genres. There's ultra trash like Robo Vampire, Future Hunters, and R.O.T.O.R, weird '70s thrillers like Welcome to Blood City and Primal Impulse, and all kinds of cheap home grown horror like The Alien Factor, It's Alive, and Night Fright. We even get MST3K favorite Pod People, under the title Extraterrestrial Visitors!
I'm especially impressed by the number of Italian trash titles included. We get films such as Top Line, an action/sci-fi hybrid about a crashed UFO in the jungle, starring Franco Nero and George Kennedy, and Escape From Galaxy 3, aka Starcrash II. It's not really a sequel, though, it just steals a lot of SFX shots from Starcrash. More Italian trash: Hands of Steel, Eyes Behind the Stars.
And a couple Japanese titles of interest:
Fugitive Alien - infamous Sandy Frank import of a Japanese sci-fi TV show, cut down to feature length.
Invaders From Space - hero Starman battles aliens in this sequel to Evil Brain From Outer Space.
The video quality is mixed, with most of the films taken from ratty old VHS tapes. Some of the Crown titles are anamorphic widescreen.
This pack does contain a real A/V surprise: an anamorphic, widescreen print of The Raiders of Atlantis! It's interlaced and VHS quality, but still! That alone makes this set worth it! I don't know if it's uncut, this copy runs 1:31:49.
Anybody who loves weird and wild movies should check out this collection - it's an instant beer-and-movie night library.
[edit: I also want to say that Mill Creek has gotten clever with their DVD menus. Now we get a "control panel" theme with multiple screens playing intriguing snippets from films in the pack. It's a nice way to grab our attention and make us wonder "what movie was THAT from?"]

The Drive-In Third Feature You Somehow Missed
5 Dec 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
You're parked in the back row of the Drive-In for a triple feature date night. It is 2:00 am and very bright lights come on; the movies are over. You fumble around, throw the speaker on the ground, drive out as fast as you can and again . . . you have absolutely no idea what that third feature was all about. You read on the marquis: "Female Aliens in Nebraska" or some such title.
Now here is a collection of 50 those "Movies" that you were too "preoccupied" to watch then. You didn't miss much. There is a reason why they were third . . . and you'll find out why.
But it's a great trip down memory lane; well worth the price. And if you never heard of the Drive-In, you're in for a special treat. Watch these "movies," laugh hard and just try to think of why Grand Ma or Grand Pa can't remember them.
