3.0 out of 5 stars Decent set, but devoid of extras, February 6, 2004

This review is from: The Wes Craven Collection (Shocker/The People Under The Stairs/The Serpent And The Rainbow) (DVD)

Collecting three films from horror maestro Wes Craven's Universal deal, this Wes Craven collection features Shocker, The People Under the Stairs, and The Serpent & The Rainbow. Shocker is a fun and over the top romp featuring The X-Files' Mitch Pileggi as a death row inmate whom acquires the ability to jump from person to person inhabiting their body. The People Under the Stairs finds Craven trying to rekindle a bit of the rawness of his earlier more barbaric films Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes with a story involving two kids trapped in a house with a cannibalistic couple and an even creepier secret. The Serpent & The Rainbow finds Craven adapting the best selling book and tells the story of a researcher (Bill Pullman) looking to find the secrets of voodoo and ending up way, way over his head. The only extras to be found are for Shocker which features a trailer and a few production notes, other than that there is nothing. You'd figure for a box set there would be some exclusive extras thrown in or maybe even a commentary or two, but alas, there is nothing. All in all, The Wes Craven Collection is worth buying if your a hardcore Craven fan and don't already own all three films, but otherwise this is rental material.

5.0 out of 5 stars great box set, February 26, 2005

This review is from: The Wes Craven Collection (Shocker/The People Under The Stairs/The Serpent And The Rainbow) (DVD)

a great box set
great premise to a great terrifing creator of amazing books ever read or made

People under the stairs: sick, funny, amusing, twisted, moving

the Serpent and the rainbow: sick twisted, funny, amazing, powerful, learn new insights

Shocker: funny at times, twisted, sick, powerful, moving, strange

all 3 movies have been seen at least 4 times each in my player and will be seen more

one offers psycho neighbors who butcher to feast with their crazy cruel dog

one offers complete lunacy into the world of voodoo and how far you really go into it when you want to get out

and the last offers trying to escape a supposedly dead convict who wants revenge for being fried but won't exactly get his way always

all 3 are shocking
and all 3 are deserving to be seen
