Film Review: Pure Terror – 50 movie pack set

Rate This Movie

Mill Creek  is noted for their collections, especially for those of us on a tight budget. It’s safe to say that I’ve pretty much purchased or acquired just about every large collection pack they’ve put out. This is because just the effort of finding, burning or stock piling these titles alone would outweigh the cost. This pack which contains 50 films (2 per side – 4 per disk) is priced at $29.98 – My guess is that come Halloween you may even be able to buy it at half that price at Walmart.  Sure there is some overlap between collections, but the improtant thing is that there isn’t as well.

Off the cuff titles of intrigue for me include the horror and cultish: “ They Saved Hitler’s Brain”, “Crucible of Horror”, “Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave”, “Sadist”, and “House That Screamed, The”

Though further digging reveals that we have a few frontline releases such as “Don’t Answer the Phone!”, “Tell-Tale Heart” and “The House by the Cemetery”

And yes a few odd sounding titles that might even prove to be worth the time invested.  – “My Mom’s a Werewolf”, “Werewolf of Washington” and “Eerie Midnight Horror Show”

I think its safe to say out of the 50, I’ve maybe seen one of these, so it’s quite collection of new movie watching – Stay tuned for individual reviews on some of these titles!
