Mill
Creek Entertainment releases a veritable bevy of 20
films spotlighting the undead and vampires of the sort,
all of which is your typical selection you can find
literally anywhere online. Sets like this usually
consist of nothing but public domain and easily
affordable classic horror movies and Television movies,
some of which deserve to be shun in to obscurity and
others are well worth the re-watch. For any horror buff
looking to start their collection, a set like this is
the best way to build up the numbers and school yourself
in the bare essentials, and with this set Mill Creek
gives the consumer four discs, all of which have some
rather memorable horror films revolving around the
concept of the undead. Not exclusive to vampires, some
of these movies are about zombies and ghouls, and a lot
of them are must haves for any library of a respecting
fan. There are titles like "The Bat" an entertaining
murder mystery about a shadowy killer, a dark mansion,
and a hidden treasure all of which combine for a
considerable solid horror film revolving around greed,
envy, and karma.
We're
given the 1926 and 1959 versions, so there's a good
variety for folks who want to go back and forth, or are
just not fans of silent films and subtitles. We also get
"Horror Express" another very solid horror film set on a
train involving a hideous murderous monster with Peter
Cushing starring, and there's "Count Dracula and the
Vampire Bride" one of the many Dracula films featuring
Christopher Lee and Cushing warring as Van Helsing and
the vampire king. And of course there's the seminal
Vincent Price horror film "The Last Man on Earth"
another version of the novel "I Am Legend" where Price
plays a man struggling with isolation and loneliness in
a world overrun by undead ghouls trying to kill him from
every corner of the country. While flawed, it is the
superior version of the novel, and Price gives a very
good performance. |
