Buy this double-sided DVD because it is cheap and because it has the movie "Salvage".

The DVD has no commentary tracks or special features, but it does contain four movies:

* "Bloody Mary" is a passable film with a standard plotline and predictable characters. No surprises. 2 stars.
* "Memory" or "Mem-(o)-re" is less predictable than "Bloody Mary". Good actors and effects, a few twists in the tale. 3 stars.
* "Mortuary" is more predictable than "Bloody Mary" and is a bog-standard, low-budget film. Tame with little gore. 2 stars.
* "Salvage" is creepy, moody, and has some squirm-in-your-seat moments. It moves along in an almost predictable way until the last few minutes of the film. Outstanding. 5 stars.

Honestly, you may wish to purchase a single DVD of "Salvage" that has a commentary track and other special features. However, this bare-bones DVD collection gets 5 stars for value, most of that because of "Salvage".

All four of these films are well made and at least watchable, and I particularly liked "Salvage", which is quite an original film. "Mortuary" was pretty lame, but "Memory" was good and "Bloody Mary" might be worth watching just for the high T&A count.

This collection is worth the purchase just for "Salvage" alone. That truly has one of the best storylines, and one of the most surprise endings, I had ever seen. It's not only my favorite Indie movie, but in my top 20 of all-time films.

The other 3 are noteworthy, and for the price, you cannot beat this!

I have not received this selection yet. I hope you will be able to send it soon. Thanks Jeanet Zech
