Mill Creek
 

What box sets of this company do you own, I own the 50 horror classics but im thinking of upgrading to the 100 one. I know most are public domain films but there is some classics in them - Night Of The Living Dead, White Zombie, Last Man On Earth and Nosferatu to name a few.

So disguss away

Drive-in cult classics volumes 1-4

All very entertaining films from the 70's and 80's. Choc full of violence, sex, nudity, psychos, bikers.

Pretty much all have decent prints which is a bonus.

Also have -After Dark thrillers, and the Explosive Cinema collection.

i have the Apocalypse 20 movie boxset and out of the 20 i'd say only 3 are watchable. Stay away from their print of Last Man On Earth as it's shockingly bad.
Not really got a good word to say about them sorry.

I have the Too Cool For School collection. I had a quick flick through one of the movies and too be honest it looked perfectly watchable, despite being an obvious straight VHS to DVD transfer. At 4 quid for 12 movies I don't feel ripped off, and may pick up another one or two to see what they are like. I have to say though it must be the cheapest packaging I have ever seen :lol: , but at least the box art is well done. I'm guessing most of the films in these sets won't be readily available elsewhere ...

most of the films are public domain titles, which is cool is suppose and i am really tempted by some of their other sets but after the experience with the Apocalypse set, im a bit weary of buying them.

I think Mill Creek only re-issued 1-3?
4 should be the original set from BCI.

I don't own any box sets from them,only this:

Gamera Double Feature -- Blu-ray

yes they are all the original BCI releases i own.

I have the mortuary of madness set, it's pretty good, but thinkit's OOP at the moment.

I have the decrepit crypt of nighmares set. They were originally released by Pendulum pictures.

Most have been released individually on the Braindamage label.

Mill Creek are releasing a Sci-Fi boxset featuring the following:


If the prints of TOP LINE and RAIDERS OF ATLANTIS are of decent quality then I'll be all over this.

I recently recieved the Gorehouse Greats Collection, Nightmare In Wax, Satan's Slave, Terror, Trip With Teacher and Blood Mania are all awesome and most titles look pretty crisp. I'll be picking up more in the future for sure, hey Demdike, how's that Explosive Cinema set? I just LOVE the cover on that one!!!

Its not bad, only watched it once. The first film's pic quality was dire but the rest were all fine if i remember rightly.

I really like Trip with the Teacher too.

There's a special edition coming of Trip with The Teacher. ;)

Really? Tell me more...:woot:

Its doubtfull Code Red would use a better print. They will just put a disclaimer at the start.

They will need the money to pay their PR guru.

A certain US company is working on it,no release date yet... ;)
An audio commentary with Zalman King is already finished it seems.

Btw the Gorehouse Greats set doesn't use the original BCI material but inferior materials of Trip.

There are other examples of films that look worse on "newer" Mill Creek sets because they didn't use the BCI materials.

Code Red has access to all the BCI materials but maybe they'll make a new transfer just for Dem. ;)

Really? I already have it on a double feature with Malibu High, but I could be persuaded by a special edition. Hoping we might see similar treatment for The Teacher, starring Angel Tompkins.

Yes Please. :pray:

The Teacher is also a nice title.
There's hardly any Crown film I don't like... ;)
Crown

The version i have is on the original Cult Classics box set, It may have the original BCI print, i'm not sure.

Same as the BCI double feature I think. ;)

Keep in mind that Crown had problems supplying BCI with decent materials for a lot of their films.

Most of the Mill Creek discs I've viewed so far were near enough unwatchable. You get the odd good print, but a lot of it is VHS sourced and encoded as a pixellated mess. I tried to watch Cathy's Curse a film I've wanted to see since the early 80's when I first read about it, but the transfer in one of the Mill Creek boxsets is so blocky and pixellated it's impossible to watch it. Shame, I wanted to see it. Not surprising when you consider they're bunging 2 (and sometimes 3) films onto a single layer disc.

Their Spaghetti Western BD double bill isn't bad, - the transfers obviously haven't been given the restoration job of, say, a criterion release, but for the price it's pretty decent.

The sets they put out are certainly cheap enough to make it worth the gamble. I've got several sets to work my way through, but it can be a chore when the films are encoded so badly. But now and again you discover a decent print oif a film you'd otherwise never have seen, so that's one good point in their favour.

I watched one recently, the name of which escapes me, but a couple go camping and the girl gets raped. Then along comes their mate Robert Englund, who waxes philosophical about the girl's ordeal and sets off to put everything right. Strange little oddity, but it had a lovely print (considering).

I have a few of their sets.

Explosive Cinema: 12 Movie Collection

Girls, Guns & G-Strings - The Andy Sidaris Collection

The Gorehouse Greats Collection

Pure Terror - 50 Movie Pack

I had this sitting out when my fiancee came over and she asked me if this was a porn movie I explained that they are cheesy action flicks that featured TV stars like Eric Estrada and playboy playmates.
I was able to dodge the bullet on that one.

Ive been going through the 44 Spaghetti Western films and most of them prints are brilliant bar the odd film here and there

I am sure I have some Mill Creek Spaghetti Western releases knocking about. To be honest, it is getting quite difficult to keep track of my Spaghetti Western disks!

You and I both, brotha! I have so many multi pack sets lying around, I forget what's even on them sometimes! :laugh:

I think the movie your talking about is Sunburst but it may have more than one title. It's called Slashed Dreams on my Chilling boxset.


I have had pretty good luck with the movies on my Mill Creek sets they haven't been done too bad.

Yeah, it's definitely Slashed Dreams. Started out like a TV movie, and only got worse from there, I thought! Turned it off before Ol'. Mr. Krueger even showed his face. :)

Oh, and my fiancee asked me the same question about the Sidaris collection! "Are those noodz?" :lol:

Mrs MTDS was impressed with the Sidaris box set because it wasn't porn for a change.;)

Oh, don't get me wrong; I think she was hoping for the sleaze! This is the same lady who has graciously let me watch Emmanuelle films and The Beast (both in the Garden and in Space) whilst in her lovely presence! :lol:

When my fiancee saw that same set she asked me if it was a porn.

My gf bought me the Andy Sidaris set. You gotta love the Easter eggs on those films.

Gorehouse Greats Collection
Rare Cult Cinema
Drive-In Cult Classics (32 movies)

I was attracted by the cheapness of these sets :nod:

Just picked up Gorehouse Greats over the weekend, primarily for Terror and Prime Evil :)

This is a great set from mill creek (if you like these kinds of movies.) I also have the GAMERA blu's as well.

I'm enjoying their blu releases, also got the minor tom selleck classic AN INNOCENT MAN and the DEEP RISING/PUPPETT MASTERS double bill as well as both the spaghetti western doubles. Daimajin aside I don't think i've paid more than a fiver (including postage) for any of them.

For me they were all blind buys. I've only watched one film so far that happens to be on Gorehouse Greats Blood of Dracula's Castle, I'm sure most people would find this film terrible but I really enjoyed it.

I've for a few of the Mill Creek Blu-rays, they're passable-good in quality terms and are incredibly cheap. I've picked up stuff like SCENES FROM A MALL, TERMINAL VELOCITY and NEW YORK STORIES. I have a few others.

The two spaghetti double bills are good too.
