RATING BASED UPON MANUFACTURE OF DISC,
By Sultan Of Sway (Sway, SD) - See all my reviews of the disc(s), not based upon the actual content of the disc(s). I recently purchased five Warner Archive titles from [...] Titles purchased were: All The Marbles, Bermuda Depths, Carny, From Hell It Came and Razorback. On the back cover of each disc it states, Discs are for use in playback only devices. All five of these discs would not function correctly. What I mean is that the menu would not come up on any of them. The screen would just show black with no picture until I skipped forward to approx 30 to 50 minutes into the film. Then I had to fast reverse search back to the start of the movie. Upon doing this the films/discs then played through the films. Quality of the films themselves I feel is very good. I attempted playback on five different brands of DVD players with the exact same result. It would seem these M.O.D. (Manufactured On Demand) titles are either so heavily encrypted with Macrovision or just so poorly manufactured that playback is very frustrating. Cover art is extremely lacking in photos and design layout.

WAY Overpriced DVD-R of a 50's Grade Z Film,
By G-Fan (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: From Hell it Came (DVD)
The title pretty much says it all...
I've got to admit that I have a bit of a soft spot for this flick, despite calling it a "Grade Z" effort. I remember it on Saturday afternoon TV back when I was a kid, and even then thinking how lame it was. Lame, but entertaining. Then a few years ago I managed to get an off-the-air VHS recording from one of our local broadcast channels, and watched it again for the first time in probably 25 years. Great, nostalgic bottom-of-the-barrel stuff. The sort of inane crap I grew up watching and loving. But I have to say that the current Amazon asking price of [...] for a DVD-R recording of this movie is just way too expensive. I have purchased a few other DVD-R's from Amazon in the past for somewhere in the $14 - $15 range, and while it's great to have them rather than not have them, even that price is kind of pushing the limits for a recorded on demand DVD-R. Anyway, the bottom line is, if you must have this movie at any cost, then go for it. It really isn't very good, but if you're like me and love these cheesy old flicks, then it might just be worth it to you. Myself, I'll wait for the eventual mass-market recording, hopefully (and realistically) priced under $10.00!

A very funny 50's horror film,
All of the other reviewers have a point - check out the prices at Warner first because you will never pay more than twenty dollars on that site per title. Chances are you will pay less because they always have some type of promotion going on. Do note that Warner Bros. has a minimum of sixty dollars in merchandise for free shipping, Deep Discount has none, and Amazon has a minimum of fifty dollars, just in case there is only one title you are interested in. Warner Bros. sells these archive products exclusively for three months and then other retailers can join in, but always for more than what Warner will ask if you buy directly from them.
As for the reviewer that had all the trouble playing discs, I have never had that problem and I own more than forty of these discs by now. I've had one disc that froze - Nora Prentiss, a few with audio problems - Dream Wife, The First Auto, and Carbine Williams, and jumps in the video in a couple from which I really can't determine the origin - that is, it could be the master not the DVD-R itself causing the problem. I'd say that about 90% of them play trouble free with only minor age-related defects rather than manufacturing ones. As for this film, if you love the old Sunday horror matinees with 50's and 60's B titles such as "Island of Terror" AKA "Night of the Silicates", "Hypnotic Eye", and "Wasp Woman" you'll really like this one about a vengeful tree trunk stalking Pacific Islanders. It can only move at a snail's pace, so you can easily get away. Yet all of the victims stand there screaming until it gets them. Hilarious. The quality of the video and audio is good on this one. Just don't go to that well known internet movie database and believe the low rating if you're a 50's sci-fi and horror fan.
