Great Stuff! |
(Your mileage may vary...) I liked these independently made flicks. But I can understand how they might not be for the regular consumer of mass media. So buyer beware....
Watching these movies reminded me of a book I read earlier this year; "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor" by Bruce Campbell. It's in part an autobiographical account of how he and his buddies (such as Sam Raimi and his brother) made similar independent films in their youth - such as the "Evil Dead" series of movies. It's clear from reading this book that making such independent fare is hard work and in no small degree something that they put their heart into. The same I imagine was true for the people who created the films in this set and the "Catacomb of Creepshows 50 Movie Pack" (I bought both).
I noticed that several of the other reviewers made comments along the lines of - "I could do this" or "My kid could make this".... My suggestion if that is true; get your stuff together and go for it! Who knows - maybe someday we will seeing a major blockbuster you made.

Not what I expected! |
|
This seemed a good combination of movies, for a husband who grew up in the fifties and sixties. It turned out to be filled with amature photographers attempts at horror. It seemed like my neighbor down the street took home movies with patched up sets, and very poor sound quality and then tried to put it to video. My kids could do better with our video camera. |

One of my BIGGEST Mistakes!!! |
|
During Spring Break, I made the mistake of wasting $25 on this junk. The movies are home-made and extremely independent! There was only one or two movies I considered watching all the way through, but I couldn't finish them because of how dumb they are. DON'T WASTE YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY!!! |

Do Not Waste YOUR MONEY! |
|
BAD-BAD-BAD. NOTHING MORE CAN BE SAID. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY, NOTHING GOOD IN THIS AT ALL. SORRY I WASTED MINE. |

Fun Grab Bag of Indie Horror |
It's hard to believe that so many people bought this dvd that have no interest in independent horror movies, just to run on here and complain about the acting and sound...lol. Anyway, for those who have attended an indie film festival or are lucky to have indie theatres in your area, this is like 5 festivals in one collection for less than the price for two people to go see another remake of Texas Chain Saw Massacre or Halloween or whatever else Hollywood has decided to remake for the umpteenth time. If you're looking for something different, you got it in this collection.
I would say there are 10 really good films in this collection that most people would enjoy. They follow the Hollywood pattern you're familiar with and we know pretty well. I mean, I see a movie like Matthew, Dead 7, or Invitation and I consider I have got my money back. But I will say that the complaints of others are not totally off base. Some of the movies are really shamefully put together and i would have liked for Pendulum to have just left them out of the collection altogether because they were an embarassment to the other well made films, but in my opinion, there are only 4-5 that meet that description. The fun part is going through them all and finding what you like. Hell's Highway and Goth are two good ones that come to mind that were a lot of fun to watch.
Cautionary note: Some of the films in this collection show graphic scenes of violence, especially serial murderers torturing women. There are also scenes of suicide which are shocking and graphic. I only mention this because I don't believe young children should be exposed to these images.
Overall, the collection was much. much better than expected. By reading the negative reviews here, I thought these are going to be totally unwatchable movies. I found the majority of them to be very entertaining. I have several Tromadance dvds that can't come close the films that are in this collection. For those tired of the same old same old, I think this collection provides you with a nice look at alternative cinema at an affordable price. |
