Mostly fake garbage. A few real stuff thrown in........2007-04-28

I viewed the original many years ago when it was 1st released on VHS. Slaughter house footage. Cremations. Some other odds and ends were interesting to watch. I later saw the follow on. The scenes were more close in on people. The scenes were bloodier and more disturbing. I later went back and watched many of the "disturbing" scenes and began to find inconsistencies and telltale clues that led me to believe most if not all the scenes were fake. After that I happily never watched another episode again.

A cult-favorite.......2007-03-30

Since i was a teenager and discoverd these videos at a local video store i have been shocked, sickened, and repulsed, but not enough to go and complain and cry at Gorgon, instead i have grown up and use these videos as special fx training for my employees and myself. Even though its all fake (except slaughterhouse and few others) they have helped me learn that we take our life for granted, and takeing a journy through death is what every human should see, it could be life changing i know it was for me..........but all in all, i will continue to watch these videos with friends and use for instructional examples until america can take their fingers out of their butts and make real examples of death and stop being so afraid, death will happen for us all one day and i for one want to choose to know what will and can happen, just to be accepting of death and not afraid. I hope these videos continue to shock and scare the young horror generation, i hope these videos will be talked about in school hallways for years to come like it was from mine

faces of death vol 1.......2006-07-12

Didn't live up to the hype..........2006-04-28

The legend around "The Faces of Death" has been going on for years and has caught my curiosity a couple times. After hearing so much about it and the horrific images it depicted I gave in and decided to watch the original. What a disappointment it was. Not only were the images plain there was nothing horrifying about it. Mind you people of a Na?ve and sensitive nature are warned not to watch it as it does show animals having their throats cut in a slaughter house and other images with blood shed. Nothing out of the ordinary for the time this film was documented. I'm sure they aired the same stuff on the documentary channel. If you want a real film that will open your eyes invest in the 1980 cult classic "Cannibal Holocaust" you won't be disappointed.

Strikes me as funny........2006-04-06

You know what strikes me as funny?

This "Music Freak" guy who said FOD was "twisted and sick, and should be banned, and the people who put it together should be killed", that's what!

He says:

" Im still shocked till this day that people acually buy this, i feel nothing but pain for the animals who were killed in this, it really makes me sick that people find this funny. WHY IS AMAZON SELLING THIS? THIS SERIES SHOULD BE BURNED AND DESTROYED, this is another great example of how sick and degraded humans have become."

But he ALSO says:

"This is the most twisted and sickest thing I have ever watched."

HILARIOUS. He sat there and watched it, and has the gall to judge OTHERS?

Music Freak, you ARE just that.

A "FREAK" IN IDIOT !!!!

I got Dressed To Kill, Terror By Night, The Secret Weapon and The Woman In Green in a two-DVD box set at Ross (of all places!) for under $10.00! And (naturally) no shipping!

Sherlock Holmes Collection Vol. 1.......2006-03-15

Exactly what I was hoping for in old movie DVD's. Perfectly restored and just what I was looking for in movies to watch. This is a perfect mix of Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes Collection Vol. 1.......2006-03-04

This is a wonderful collection of the best of the Sherlock Holmes movies, starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. There have been many actors cast in the roles of Homes and Watson, but Rathbone and Bruce are by far the best. These films are all updated to the 40's, when Britain was at war with Hitler, but they still are very intertaining. "The Voice of Terror," "The Secret Weapon," and "Holmes in Washington" all are concerned with Nazi spies and the war, and were obviously made as a moral booster for the wartime audiences. They are excellent examples of how to make movies that will entertain for many, many years and not just for the weekend boxoffice grab, the way most films are done today.

Classic.......2006-02-25

If you're a Sherlock Holmes fan than this set is for you. I'm going to buy all of the sets.

excellent, but a rip off.......2006-02-06

excellent dvd's, marvellous restauration, but you americans are getting ripped off like crazy here: this complete collection of 16 restaured films cost more than 200 dollars in the USA while the SAME collection with exactly the same extra's and the same restauration from the same company can be purchased, with a rather more appealing slip cover I'd say, in the UK for as little as 25 pounds(about 37 dollars) or at amazon uk for 34 pounds(about 51 dollars)... if that isn't a reason to buy a regionfree dvd player I don't know what is....don't let those money hungry purveyors of the seperate dvd regions get their way!!!
