Well, it's been around 6 months since I ordered this from Amazon and I just finished every last film so I felt it was time for a review. I'd say next to the Classic Sci-Fi Television set, that this is the best of the Mill Creek multi disc DVD packs. All of these films would qualify as horror and although there are a few lousy films, all of them are worth watching at least once. Of course I realize that you may already own some of these public domain films, so there's going to be some overlap between this and other box sets, but it is pretty minimal. Sometimes you hear people complain about the print quality on sets like this. There are a few muddy looking movies, but some are gorgeous, cleaned up, widescreen editions so it's just hit and miss. The only film that is really hard to see is Night Fright, but it looks to me like it was just filmed badly. Most of the films on this set are a bit slow moving, but contain some terrific horror scenes. Examples of this are Satan's Slave, The Manster, Frankenstein '80 and The Undertaker And His Pals. I consider them, as well as the majority of movies on this set, to be good for a horror fan who just wants something to watch that you don't have to pay a lot of attention to. There are also some awful movies that will make you wish the MST3K gang were there with you to make fun of the horrible film making. Manos Hands Of Fate, They Saved Hitler's Brain and Terror In The Jungle are pretty painful to watch, but still not unwatchable. Now some of the best reasons to get this box are for the few really exceptional films. Dr. Jekyll And The Werewolf is a great Count Waldemar Daninsky film, the sixth for Paul Naschy. Good makeup and spooky location shooting. Werewolf Of Washington was a nice surprise when I found out what a good redux of The Wolfman this was. Looking at the poster I was expecting a comedy, but I can't say I found it funny. Dean Stockwell's character was the traditional cursed figure. The Embalmer is a stark, sparse, slasher type of film taking place in Venice. It comes across as almost a noir horror and look out for a few scenes that seem to have influenced Tobe Hooper's Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Then there's the best film on the box in my opinion. The Sadist. Based on a real life killer, this is one of the most disturbing films I've ever seen. The film actually challenges you to keep watching as you look upon this brain dead couple as they terrorize some average people simply because they are there. They are cowards hiding behind a gun and you will want to reach through your screen and strangle Arch Hall and Marilyn Manning. If you ever want to do this to a movie villain, then it means they are some damn good actors! I could probably only watch this film once every 2 years or so, but it's because the terror is so simplistic yet so real. This film proves that real life horror is far scarier than anything we can dream up. I would have purchased the set based on this movie alone, but there are plenty of decent horror flicks that you will be enjoying for months. Sets like these work for people like myself who feel like we've seen every horror movie out there and want to discover some forgotten cinema, or people who are just starting to like horror movies and want to view some older films for practically nothing. I hope Mill Creek keeps it up.

Yes, these film prints are not always the best, some even questionable, but that never stopped a true-blue-blood sicko film fanatic, now did it?This has a better print of "Blood Sabbath" on it than I had a right to expect, so that alone was worth the price and there is a whole lot more as if you didn't know.These Mill Creek multi-packs are always good to have around for when you can't sleep and you just have to have a WTH movie to watch at 3am so you can relive those creature-feature moments of your youth and when you are as old a codger as me you can even be your own horror-host.So if any little imperfection in a film makes you whine like an ambulance siren in a film from the sixties, keep moving, we'll both be happier. But if you think Nicholas Worth is the psycho-cat's pajamas, my friend, you've struck celluloid oil.

As of this writing 1/27/24 i have watched about 16 of the 50 movies and i have to say they are not pure terror. Some of them are kinda interesting but not really some of them look like they are a film school student project and some of them the plot is all over the place you cant keep track. But heres the kicker no i wount return for my money back and yes i will continue to watch them just so i can say i watched them all. Some have been better then others and some just plain suck. Buy if you want thats up to youEdit: ok after watching more of the movies in the pack i found some that arent that bad and are worth the watch yes they are few and far between but there are some thats are worth the watch and some that aint. Its like other things gotta take the bad with the good

You can't go wrong with these 50 movie collections. If you find at least one movie worth watching, you have got your money's worth.This collection has the usual Mill Creek selection of public domain films. If you're a fan of local movie shows such as Offbeat Cinema, Elvira's Movie macabre, or Wolfman Mac's Chiller Drive in, you will eventually see all of these movies. The movies are a good mix: lots of so bad they're good films, and just plain bad films. To any MST3K fans, if you want to see an unedited version of the great Manos: The Hands of Fate, or They Saved Hitler's Brain, you have your chance.About the only thing I can find to complain about is the repetition of film titles. I mean, really, I didn't want to see The Evil Brain From Outer Space the first time Mill Creek offered it in a collection, and I surely do not want to see it now. Come, on, Mill Creek, NO MORE EVIL BRAIN FROM OUTER SPACE, OK?
