This is a generally fantastic set of four long overdue films. The picture is grand, and the choices for sound are also superb. The set is a little light on extras (with the notable exception of the fifth disc), but considering how much cheaper this set (Anchor Bay) is in comparison to its American counterpart (Blue Underground), it's a fabulous deal.
One note, however - Amazon lists the films as "dubbed," but whereas the U.S. Blue Underground edition features both English and Spanish tracks, this UK edition features only the original Spanish with optional subtitles. No English audio tracks are available.

I thought I would order this set and save some money compared with the Blue Underground U.S.A. set. But that was a mistake, as I found out that "Tombs of the Blind Dead" is censored. British DVD companies should have to label their disks "Censored by the Government" instead of passing them off as complete versions.

Probalbly the most (in)famous series of films to emerge from post-franco era spain, these films presnt spanish horrors own franchise monsters the Templars. The film takes many historical liberties with the history of the knights templar, in these films they were satan worshippers (except in night of the seagulls where they worship some kind of lovecraftian sea god) who now rise from there tombs to drink the blood of the living. Director Amando de ossorio incorporates a lot of gore and nudity into these films (as well as some unpleasant rape scenes) but for me the strength of these films is the excellent use of locations and sets and the way the templars are shot, galloping through mist in slow motion, giving them a genuinly haunting quality.
Unlike the British release all the films in this box from blue underground are uncut, and in a very spiffing box. This is definately the best release of these movies so-far.
