4.0 out of 5 stars
Let me axe you..., July 30, 2007
This review is from: Horror Classics 4 Movie Pack Vol. 2 (DVD)
The second edition of DIGITAL 1 STOP's horror 4 packs features the cinematic debut of a future directorial great and three other fairly common public domain fright flicks. The two most popular titles here both star Vincent Price. In "House..." Price is the host of a party at which he invites five guests to spend the night in a haunted house for a $10,000 reward. "Last Man..." has Price as the sole survivor of a world-wide plague. After dark, plague victims rise from their graves in search of blood... guess who's?
"The Phantom..." is a lame story about a radioactive rock on the ocean floor that causes a monstrous mutation, while "Dementia 13," is a gothic tale complete with an Irish castle and deranged axe murderer. Roger Corman funded and produced this AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL bloodfest which was Francis Ford Coppola's first legitimate job as director (he had made two skin flicks prior).
The
VAULT OF HORROR 10 MOVIE PACK is a larger collection that includes werewolves, monsters and Jack the Ripper!
