The ALIEN WORLDS 20 Movie Pack is a unique mix of the many public domain sci-fi films available from MILL CREEK ENTERTAINMENT. These 1950's U.S. sci-fi, and later Japanese rocketship/monster flicks and Euro space stories are all are 'B' grade (if not lower). Also included are five episodes of a '50s kid's TV show combined into two feature films ("Rocky Jones") and a whittled-down 1930's Buster Crabbe serial ("Buck Rogers").

MILL CREEK box sets offer good-to-average-quality audio and video transfers of public domain material at a most reasonable price.

For an instant (and gargantuan) sci-fi/fantasy, action/adventure and fright film library, all you need is the HORROR 250 Movie Pack. In this one deluxe foil-covered box are several months of viewing for fans of these genres.

These dvds are mass produced and super cheap,I enjoyed every movie on here,After buying several of these 10 to 200 movie packs,and not being able to play them on my nice sony player,I bought a LG Bluray player,better but not much.I then decided to try this,I went to HH Gregg,because they have the best stuff,best warrenty,best price,and best sales people.This is all true.I bought a 20 to 30 dollar dvd player,some y connectors,hooked it up on same line as my blueray,and have watched every one of these cheap dvds.IT WORKS.

I bought this pack thinking I couldn't go wrong for $6 or $7 dollars. I was wrong. The production quality of the movies is not very good. Four or five don't play on my DVD players (I have three). Some that do skip and jump. I would never buy this again, especially if it was from Mill Creek Entertainment. Buyer beware!

All praise to the Amazon Marketplace seller, who paid for shipping on two of these turkeys and finally gave me full credit. All the discs in both sets were unwatchably glitchy, several of them freezing at the menu, not even letting you get so far as watching the actual movies skip, slow down, and lock up. I love bad scifi and was really looking forward to this set, but I think two attempts is sufficient for me to say to you: "Don't bother. Mill Creek obviously has no quality control, and you are doomed to disappointment."
