It looks like four films in plastic cases boxed together or am i missing something?

That's exactly what it is...heathen! Bet you love a good digipak or 4 films in 1 case (just kidding)

Ha! No chance. I presumed (wrongly) that deluxe would mean book and or other items not simply four films in a box.

I can wait until it drops a tenner seeing as it's not limited unlike the Urban Legend and I Know sets which were 'deluxe' with additional goodies.

Thank you anyway.

Going off some of their recent output which has been from the late nineties to mid 00's i'd say Scar 3d.

The 'Rotten Tomatoes' site doesn't think much of it! It currently hold a 0% approval rating with 18 reviews

The critic consensus is: "A nasty, witless and unoriginal entry into the torture porn canon with hopeless acting and a waste of modern 3D technology"

Sounds perfect for Arrow to release!

I've only seen the first Species film and didn't realise there were four of them until I saw that announcement! Extras-wise, the box set is pretty laden and, if I'm feeling impulsive and my bank balance is okay, I'll probably buy it.

Personally I think four Amarays in a box just looks cheap and lazy. Give me a nice digipak any day.
