5.0 out of 5 stars "Your mother has suffered a serious relapse...", 23 Mar 2005
By A Customer
The fourth and best of Anchor Bay's coffin-boxed collections of British Horror movies, the Pete Walker collection succeeds if nothing else because the quality of the films is consistently better than its predecessors.
Pick of the bunch is Frightmare, a darkly comic story of care in the community and cannibalism in the Home Counties with Walker regular Sheila Keith on top form serving tea in bone china the one moment and then proving that the maxim "you'll have someone's eye out with that" really is appropriate when it comes to pitchforks and power drills. Also excellent is the luridly titled House of Whipcord, which is a loopy cross between Kafka and Caged Heat and features a villain who bares an uncanny resemblance to Camilla Parker Bowles. House of Mortal Sin features - gleefully - a psychopathic catholic priest who dispatches sinners personally while his one-eyed housekeeper (Keith, again) looks on with raised eyebrow.
Of the rest, both Die Screaming Marianne and The Comeback are entertaining and well made, although they lack the devious wit of the set's best, they're still considerably better than many examples of the genre.
The extras are excellent and plentiful, with Walker contributing sprightly commentaries to each film, plus a handful of other interesting trailers and featurettes (including a welcome tribute to the late Keith).
Don't be put off by the fact that the cover-art looks a bit like David Dickinson wielding a power tool, this is a cracking collection and a bargain at the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Notch Britsploitation!, 13 April 2005
By A Customer
It's about time the films of Pete Walker were given this sort of attention - this box set, adorned with artwork last seen on the original FRIGHTMARE UK cinema release poster (I'm old enough to remember) is a must - the films within are a grimy, sleazy delight which make a welcome change to predictable Hollywood gloss. Besides the five movies (count 'em, five - what value!) the box set also includes some insightful extras, which strangely aren't mentioned on the packaging. I found these to be highly informative, and it was fantastic to see Pete Walker's contribution. The Sheila Keith (RIP) featurette almost had me in tears. Very touching - nice one Anchor Bay!

We want more coffin sets. Ane we want them NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars best dvd commentaries ever, 29 Mar 2007
The enormous entertainment value of the commentaries to these films outweighs the films themselves.

The commentaries are comedy gold.
