This whole collection is awful, don't waster your money. My husband and I love "b-horrors" but these collections are the worst of the worst. It looks like a junior-high film project at best and is literally shot in someone's basement. Plus unlike most other "B-horror" movies, it's just boring. Would not recommend even to "b-horror movie" lovers!

HOSTILE HAUNTINGS

If you're looking for state of the art special effects and top rank actors, this series may not be right for you.

Thought it was very boring. Waste of time watching it. It was foreign made and not very interesting.

I ordered a copy of Hostile Hauntings not too long ago and I must say I got my monies worth.
I really enjoyed the stories for the first film "The Shunned House" and
"The River: Legend of La Llorona" found on the second disc. Those would have to be my
two favorites. I like the acting, music, script and feel of those films. I also dug
"The Woodland Hauntings 2" - That was a very bizare movie, to say the least.
I'm so burnt out on Hollywood remakes and plotless garbage with big name actors thinking
they can make up for a scriptless, special effects vehicle where things (such as cats) pop
out of nowhere just for the sake of a few cheap scares. These movies had it all...story,
boobs, blood, and good laughs. A few of the films were too weird for me, like
"Sleep Disorder." It gave me just that. Otherwise, I liked what I saw.

Folks, this helped me gain free shipping on my order! Don't bother buying it for entertainment however, the movies won't hold your attention any better than the average commercial! A total waste!

Absolutely bad, bad, bad. Acting is bad - plots are bad! DO NOT BUY THIS MOVIE!!

Instead of Hostile Hauntings, these movies should have been called "Hostile Acting" The lighting was terrible. I could barely hear with my television set to very loud. The best of the worst was Hellbound-Book of the Dead, followed by The River: Legend of LaLlorona. The story and acting in those two were worth watching----provided one could not be entertained by a blank screen. The best thing about these dvds was the price. The worst thing was everything esle. This is definately not one I will be keeping. If producers of any movie cannot at a minimum get the lighting and sound right, then wait until you have enough money to do so. And for buyer's sake, if you are going to use your friends for your movies, make sure they can act.Some of these "movies" made no sense whatsoever.It is amazing what the cover and blog of a dvd will do. That is what made me buy it. Watching it is what will make me throw it away. Do not rent, Do not buy. Go with your first instincts. If the price is too low for a dvd-it is not worth watching. You are right. I boought it for you. Trust me. I am a slasher flick/haunted house king of dvds. If you need an extra case, this is for you. If you need a good movie, try "Do You Wanna Know a Secret?". Six for the price of one. I will take the one if the story is good, the acting is ok, the soundtrack-one can hear and the lighitng is well, lit.

I bought this out out of a catalog, for a few dollars. a total waste. I thought I was watching some film students movies. How did this crap get made? Did someones Daddy give them an extra allowence to buy videotape? and the actor in the film Hellbound book of the dead. Jeff Dylan Graham. DING DING DING. My Gaydar went off big time. Dude, go do gay porn. You are so gay.

"B" films can be enternaining enough to pass the time away, however, Hostile Hauntings makes you want the nightmare to end. All the films on this DVD are like a school film project gone wrong. Poor filming, poor acting and poor plots. No wonder the "artist" is not provided. I would be afraid to have my name attached to this too. This DVD is not worthing of the $5.00 bin at Walmart. Save your money.
