Are these worth picking up never heard of any of the films.
In my opinion two of the films from the first set - Maletesta's Carnival of Blood and The Premonition are awful. I got rid of my copies immediately.

I'm sure some here love them though.

The Witch Who Came From the Sea is decent.

No idea about the second set but if The Child is the seventies film that has Novak connections then that is good, strange but good.

I notice b_e has given the other two films in set two 2 and a half stars out of five each on Letterboxd. You can make up your own mind if you want to shell out fifty notes on 'average' films.

The first set is great. Malatesta and Witch are both winners from a creaky oddity pov. Premonition is slow and a little underwhelming, but worth a look.

As for the second set, I'd only seen The Child, which I really rate. The other two, were sadly a bit uninspiring. However, both films are definitely curios and worth a look from that independent American horror perspective, but I'd be hard pushed to recommend either unless you resonate with that sort of thing.

Despite my comments above I don't regret purchasing either set and will definitely be keeping them in the collection.

I was tempted to pick up the second one on the arrow sale.

I really enjoyed all 4 of the films you mentioned, if you like Giallo at all you should enjoy them, they are from the more well shot and groovy end of the spectrum, with some mental motivations, cool music and demented performances.
