"Good Bloody Deal".......2007-09-06

For the price you can't beat it with a Large Bloody stick!! It's fun to watch! The Bluesman

A lot of entertainment at a good price.......2007-08-29

Long before slasher movies became popular, studios had to rely on suspenseful writing, good acting, and MOOD to produce enjoyable horror movies. Many of the films in this collection fall into that category.

Other reviewers have listed the titles, so I won't go into those. Most of these are in black and white and are from the 30s, 40s, and 50s. Those featuring Bela Lugosi in his declining years are rather sad, but others are effective at scaring the daylights out of you.

I'm a big Vincent Price fan. He's a treat no matter what role he plays. Boris Karloff, a very underrated actor, makes a couple appearances in this collection too.

Some are so bad they're outright laughable. Remember that there was no computer animation then, so special effects were much tougher. By today's standards, some the monsters are more funny than scary.

You won't find biggies like Dracula, The Wolfman, or The Mummy in this collection, but it's a wide variety of horror films with something for everybody. Expect some undiscovered gems amid the run-of-the-mill and you won't be disappointed.

Horrific it ain't.......2007-08-28

This is an excellent selection of campy old movies, well worth five stars; however, it is not an excellent selection of campy old horror movies. I suppose this depends upon your idea of what "horror" is, but a solid half of these movies do not qualify as horror in my vocabulary. Just because Boris Karloff plays a Chinese detective in a movie does not make it a horror show. In fact, it makes it a detective show with nothing horrible about it. There's several murder mysteries in this package, and most have big names from the legitimate horror genre, but don't expect a good fright with each flick.

The sound quality in many of these selections is as bad as others have mentioned, but surprisingly, I've found that I get used to it within a few minutes and they seem quite audible.

If you're looking for a great mix of (often wacky) old movies, only some of which might be called horror, this is a great choice. Otherwise, you might be better off with the Chilling Classics selection also available from Amazon.

REALLY bad, campy movies!! However.............2007-08-23

I bought this for my teenage son who enjoys horror movies. I was thinking more along the lines of more recent horror movies (1970-1980's), so when we saw the very old, very campy B movies it was not a hit at our house, so it was bad from that stand point. It certainly is not my idea of "classic" horror movies. HOWEVER, there are plenty of people out there that LOVE really, really bad B movies and I've got to say this is a 5 star pick for those types of movies. (They should change the name of this to "50 really, really bad Horror Classic B movies you'll laugh at for days".) I'm kind of in that catagory and was amazed at how much fun they were from that angle - there were some really pathetic movies in there!! So, hope that helps a bit with your purchase.

I really am enjoying it but you should be aware..........2007-09-03

I am two-thirds of the way through the films. These are the things you should be aware of:
1. A large minority of the films are not SciFi, by any reasonable definition. For instance there are 6 Hercules movies, and 4 or 5 jungle/island adventures.
2. It's misleading to call these "classics", except in the sense of "old". There are several made for TV movies, here which were forgotten the day after they were shown.
3. The majority of the films are very, very bad. ("Teenagers from Outer Space" is among the best 5.) If you like to do the Mystery Science 3000 thing, you will be in heaven. Otherwise, not!

That said, did I get my $15 worth of entertainment? Yes, several times over.

Not Good.......2007-08-13

I am an old Sci-Fi fan, and have really enjoyed movies purchases on Amazon, such as War of the Worlds (1953 version), THEM, Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, The Day the Earth Stood Still, etc.

I figured that there would be at least a few good movies out of the 50. Safe bet, right? I have watched approximately 15 of them so far, and have yet to find one I can stomach for more than 10 minutes. I don't know if I'll have the patience to watch any more.

I'm sad to offer such a negative review, but this purchase was a waste of my time and money.

Weird but done.......2007-07-20

After seeing this box at a friend of mine, I wanted it too. Too much weirdness in a box for that little money. Of course there are some really bad movies, really really bad. But the simple fact that those exist is worth the pay already!

Great Mix of B Movies!.......2007-06-28

Have a slow Saturday afternoon? Pop in one of these DVD's and go back to your childhood. This is a great collection (for a great price)of old movies that you would probably never see on TV. Some are better than others, and some are not worth much, but all-in-all, I find watching these to be relaxing and fun. And isn't that what it's all about anyway?

Not bad for the money.......2007-06-08

While this pack isn't worthy of a 5 star rating, it's still a good value. Some of these titles I had purchased earlier at a cost of $5.00 a piece. The quality is not great, but they're watchable.

Chilling Classics review.......2007-09-10

I found the movies drawn out and boring. It says digally remasterd, however they looked more like boot legger material. Ive seen older movies that were in excelent condition that werent all blury and dark!
Not to mention all though some of the movies had a decent ending they took to long to get to the point, it felt like a waist of time and way to perdictable in some cases. There was alot of nudity that was uncalled for and afensive in the movie.I miss the old fashion, down to earth movie.
Like the older vesion the "The Fog" crystal clear movie, not drawn out or boring, no unneeded nudity, everyone can watch! The newer vesion of "The Fog" is an insalt and not even related to what the story was about!Thats just my thoughts.

For the Price Well Worth It.......2007-05-21

With shipping I paid approxamately $20 for 50 movies. It works out to about .40 cent each. I have not seen all of them but enjoyed the ones I have. A inexpensive way to spend a evening. If you were Elvira Fans, they can be used to through an Elvira get together. Pick 2 selections have your your invited friends bring the chips, popcorn, whatever and you have a party.

This set may not be 'great', but it is good........2007-05-13

I own several 50 movie sets, and this one is pretty much standard. Most movies are fairly 'rough', but, that's how I remember them on the old B&W TV's. I am an old horror movie buff, so, I can find enough 'good movies' on this to make it well worth the price.

WARNING!! Beware of 2 different versions.......2007-05-09

I purchasing this set with the intent of watching Deadtime Stories since I remember it as a kid. I noticed when I got the set in the mail that it was not on the set. I Looked at the picture provided from Amazon and it shows Deadtime Stories on the bottom right however mine shows Horror Express in it's place. I have also noticed that the "50 MOVIE PACK" red box is located on the left as here is shows it on the right. So there are two versions of this set. So for people looking for the Deadtime Stories version make sure it says it on the bottom like the picture Amazon has, but if you order it from Amazon you won't get it. Sucks big time, oh well.

On a 1 to 10 scale, this collection is rated: 4.2.......2007-04-14

To all fans of blood-by-the-bucket cinema, monsters, ghouls and gore:

Featuring three enjoyably "awful" movies from 1958-59, Cult Camp Classics, Vol. 1: Sci-Fi Thrillers turns nuclear radiation into cause for celebration, especially if you enjoy movies with extra cheese. With the Cold War in full swing and society's worries blamed on the threat of nuclear annihilation, sci-fi buffs (like future filmmakers Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, and John Landis) could see a new monster movie almost every week. Many of them came from Allied Artists, the low-budget B-movie production company (formerly Monogram) that rose from the ghetto of "poverty row" distribution to produce countless exploitation thrillers between 1946 and 1979. The '50s saw the rise of nuclear monster thrillers, and Allied popularized the trend with its own menagerie of giant, irradiated creatures. The key to Allied's success was its crowd-pleasing combination of exploitable ingredients, and what better way to combine sci-fi, sex, and horror than to unleash a towering babe with an attitude problem? That's exactly what Allied did with Attack of the 50-Foot Woman, a now-classic campfest in which a spurned wife (Allison Hayes) is irradiated by a glowing alien space-ball, grows to a height of (you guessed it), and exacts revenge upon her cheating husband (William Hudson). A year before she bared her shapely backside as Playboy's Playmate of the Month for July 1959, Yvette Vickers costars as Hudson's scheming mistress, giving the film an extra boost of sex appeal. With bargain-priced effects including a giant floppy-fingered hand, hilarious process shots, and cheesy models destroyed by the world's biggest bitch (for whom it is still possible to feel some sympathetic compassion), the movie's not as good as its celebrated poster (which now adorns movie-geek T-shirts around the world), but it's still a lot of fun.

The Giant Behemoth was director Eugene Lourie's obvious attempt to capitalize on his 1953 hit The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, starring a gigantic paleosaurus rising from the Atlantic with a bad case of atomic radiation. London is the monster's eventual stomping ground, but the lumbering lizard is camera-shy for nearly an hour; you can imagine Beaver Cleaver and his pals groaning through seemingly endless scenes of talky exposition, anxiously awaiting the climactic stop-motion creature effects supervised by the legendary Willis (King Kong) O'Brien. Scoring much higher on the camp-o-meter, and far more entertaining, is the cult classic Queen of Outer Space, which borrows props and costumes from Forbidden Planet, Flight to Mars and World Without End for its outrageously kitschy plot about manly astronauts who crash-land on Venus and discover an underground society of mini-skirted space-babes. Unfortunately the disfigured Venusian queen (Laurie Mitchell) is a man-hater supreme, so the spectacularly costumed Zsa Zsa Gabor (as a Venusian scientist, no less) leads a revolution against her. With a screenplay by Twilight Zone veteran Charles Beaumont and a story credited (almost incredibly) to legendary playwright/screenwriter Ben Hecht (who surely never suspected his idea would eventually yield this movie), Queen of Outer Space is exactly what you'd expect it to be: So bad it's good, and more than worthy of inclusion in this irresistibly priced triple-feature set. --Jeff Shannon

On the DVDs
Three feature-length commentaries accompany the sci-fi thrillers in Cult Camp Classics, Vol. 1. Two of the commentaries are hosted by Tom Weaver, a noted authority on sci-fi and horror films whose historical acumen is more casual than academic: While sharing the commentary on Queen of Outer Space with the film's titular star Laurie Mitchell (who became a mainstay at fan conventions at Weaver's invitation), Weaver fails to explain how the production came to use props and costumes from the classic Forbidden Planet, and that's a glaring oversight. He compensates as an amiable interviewer with the equally good-natured Mitchell, and it's a treat to hear them enthusiastically reading unfilmed scenes from the film's original screenplay. For the commentary on Attack of the 50-Foot Woman, Weaver is joined by the film's comely costar Yvette Vickers (another regular at sci-fi conventions), and their combined anecdotes provide an adequate oral history of this camp-classic production. Star Wars veterans and special-effects masters Dennis Muren and Phil Tippett provide the loose-and-lazy commentary on The Giant Behemoth, which consists mostly of Muren making sarcastic jokes about the film's glacial pacing. It's hardly the authoritative commentary that some fans might've hoped for, but Muren and Tippett are well-versed in special-effects history (Muren even owns the original stop-motion Behemoth creature model), and they share an infectious enthusiasm for the films that inspired them to excel in their profession. --Jeff Shannon

Description

One woman - 25 pairs of shoes?!? It's impossible not to have fun with this all-time kitsch classic which, as fans know, is actually about a very big woman with a very bad attitude. The woman is wealthy Nancy Archer (Allison Hayes), fresh from the looney bin and ticked off. Her rat of a husband (William Hudson) has been at play while the feline's away, putting the moves on Honey Parker (Yvette Vickers, Playboy's Miss July 1959) and scheming about the day when Nancy's fortune will be theirs. That day will never come - not after Nancy has an alien encounter that zaps her metabollism into overdrive. Soon, Nancy's size matches her rage. She'll prove big girls don't cry, they get even.

Great Classics .......2007-09-13

All 3 are really great old (Classic) B-Movies. I can watch em over and over again. Thank's for the collection.

Terrific quality DVD is well worth the price.......2007-09-10

Someone compared these movies to "Plan 9 From Outer Space." That's not really fair. Sure, they're low-budget '50s movies, but their production values are far higher than anything Edward Wood ever managed; moreoever, they lack Wood's deranged free-associations. Whatever, right? They're still fun movies and worth a look.

I must compliment this DVD release: these movies are pristine. This is an encouraging development for us lovers of cheese; Universal's recent Sci-Fi Classic box set (Incredible Shrinking Man etc) was also very high quality. It's a pleasure to watch movies that look this good.

Okay. First up: THE GIANT BEHEMOTH, which was the reason I got this set. I'm a big fan of stop-motion monsters, especially when they trash the urban landscape (in this case, London). This movie is pretty good, though hampered by a dull know-it-all hero and too much talk for the first hour or so. Still, things happen the way you know they're gonna (a fisherman gets attcked; a ferry boat turns up empty). A fun paleontologist shows up to enliven things a little. When Beastie finally comes ashore in London, we get a pretty effective rampage sequence that shows extensive monster. And yes, that attack on the Thames ferry is effective aftr all these years. Compared to, say, Best from 20,000 Fathoms, the Behemoth itself is a somewhat less charismatic and expressive critter. Nonetheless the work is well done. I found the ending somewhat confused and difficult to follow. (Visually, I mean; in terms of the plot, it's not exactly a surprise.) 3 AND A HALF STARS.

2. QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE. Fun but dumb. Or if you prefer, dumb but fun. I read in Bill Warren's excellent book, Keep Watching the Skies!, that this was written as a satire, but the director didn;t get the joke and played it straight, along with the actors. It certainly seems plausible... the movie keeps being almost funny, so you wonder, "Did they mean to do that?" Anyway, astronauts go to Venus (sure!) and find Zsa Zsa Gabor, among other people. Men are illegal, so our space gals have lots of free time to get into, uh, trouble. There's a twist or two at the end, but nothing that could realistically be called "suspense." Production values are great though; full color, good sound, clean print. Costumes and sets lifted from Forbidden Planet and (apparently) spacecraft footage from World Without End, which I've never seen. TWO AND A HALF STARS, or, if you're in the mood for groan-inducing unintentional humor, THREE STARS. (You decide.)

3. ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN. This one surprised me; I was expecting utter dreck but it was, in some ways, well done. The effects are awful and the characterization is, in fact, Ed Wood-ish; but the performances aren't bad. Yvette Vickers in particularly just cracked me up; she really attcks her role as the Evil Other Woman, and just about makes it believable. There's a surprising cynicism here; everyone is motivated by their worst instincts--greed, lust, selfishness. The only one who isn't is the 50 foot woman herself, and she's fresh out of a mental institution. I don't mean to overblow this, it's not Citizen Kane or anything. But it's an oddly compelling mix of really really bad and strangely compelling. Oh but the "rampage" of the woman herself is a huge anticlimax. Just so you're prepared. THREE STARS.

Overall, 3 stars for the movies, 5 plus for the presentation. I don't know about the extras, they're less important than the films. Go have fun.

Cult Camp Classics-Sci- Fi Thrillerc-Its About Time----.......2007-09-02

I just recently bought this dvd set, and it's about time these movies were released on dvd--For years the only option to get these were either laserdisc,vhs tape, or bootlegs dvds on ebay.
"Attack Of The 50 Foot Woman"-What can you say--who needs a budget?
What worst than a women scorned ?-How about a 50 foot woman scorned!!-- I remember watching this on Chiller Theatre(here in NY on WPIX 11) on Saturday nights when I was a kid, and it still hold up.- The special effects are hilariously bad, but that's part of the charm.
"Queen Of Outer Space",Starring Zsa Zsa Gabor(Dahling), and written by Charles Beaumont as a spoof--but the director, and some of the actors don't seem to be aware of that-they play it straight.
"The Giant Behemoth"-- kind of a slow moving picture about dumping radioactive materials at sea disturbing a giant prehistoric sea creature.
The set offers good prints and features commentary by Yvette Vickers & Tom Weaver-film historian-(on Attack),Laurie Mitchell & Tom Weaver(on Queen) and Dennis Muren and Phil Tippett(special effects gurus) on Giant.
The only minor drawback is that they could have put these dvds into slimcases and taken up 1/2 of the space.

So Stupid They're Funny.......2007-08-30

These camp classics are, like many others, so stupid that they're funny. If you enjoyed "Plan Nine From Outer Space," you'll love these. Great for laughs. The sad thing is that those who made them probably took them seriously.

50'S SCI-FI GEMS NOT TO BE MISSED!!.......2007-08-27

Three of the best Allied Artists 50's sci-fi films finally come to DVD, and it is about time!! First up is Giant Behemoth which stars Andre Morell and Gene Evans as two men who try and stop a giant radioactive monster from stomping London flat. Attack of the 50 Foot Woman is a truely wonderful piece of sci-fi camp that shouldn't be missed. The always sexy Allison Hayes plays a woman who, due to radiation from an alien, grows 50 feet tall and goes looking to kill her two timing husband. Queen of Outer Space stars Zsa Zsa Gabor as a woman who leads a rebellion on the planet Venus when 4 men crash land on her planet. All of these are presented in widescreen with excellent picture and sound quality. If you're a fan of 50's sci-fi this is easily one of the years best sets. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
