In regards to the
B-Movie Boxset, I have three of the titles mentioned;
Hell Comes to Frogtown,
Slugs, and
The Stuff as they were also released as stand-alone discs.
All three are ports of the ABUS discs (even down to the distributor logos pre-credit sequence
).
As for the films themselves, each definitely fits their respective 'B-movie' moniker, and are terrific slices of pungent cheese.
Hell Comes to Frogtown sees a post-
They Live 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper battle giant talking frogs in a post-apocalyptic action packed fun-fest - I guess his career never recovered after this, but it's a great watch.
Slugs deals with - wait for it - killer slugs... it's a campy little creature-feature (incidentally by the same guy who directed the amazing
Pieces!
) and doesn't disappoint in either the slug or the cheesy '80s dialogue department.
The Stuff is probably my favourite of the three and deals with a strange substance (called 'The Stuff'
) that replaces ice-cream (and frozen yoghurt I guess, as it's based in the US
) across the land, which is also highly addictive and turns everyone who eats it into mindless (killer!) drones.
Whilst I've seen most of the others in the set, I can't comment on the quality of the discs. The three I mentioned above are (surprisingly) decent transfers, and well worth a punt if you can find the set or the individual releases at a reasonable price.
