5.0 out of 5 stars Best Shrews / Gila disc available!!, July 22, 2007

This review is from: The Killer Shrews / The Giant Gila Monster (Color Special Edition Double Feature) (DVD)

From the folks that brought us the colorized dvds of NOTLD, Carnival of Souls, Reefer Madness, House on Haunted Hill and Plan 9 from Outer Space, you can now add The Killer Shrews / The Giant Gila Monster to the list. First off, this is a 2 disc set. Disc 1 contains both movies colorized, while the second disc contains the BW versions with extras. The extras include Giant Gila trailer (in anamorphic 16x9!), info on gilas and shrews, a weird video of a squirrel (?!) and colorized trailers for the titles I listed in the first sentence. Now you're probably wondering, how is the quality on these. I have two copies of the Killer Shrews already and the print on this is by far the best I've seen. Sure it has some print damage here and there, but this by far the sharpest I've seen both movies. If anything, get the disc set for the BW versions as I doubt any better copies are out there. The audio is clear however some hiss is present. As for the colorized versions, they look the same as the other movies if you have seen them. The best way I can describe is that it's not quite realistic, but more of a comic book feel to it. It's not far fetched in how the colors are used as they try their best to make it realistic, but something about the colorization still doesn't seem real. But, they are definitely interesting to check out.

Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this set. I've been waiting for years for a SE Killer Shrews disc and this is it in my opinion.

although I am not a fan of colorization, this looks pretty good. The movies themselves are pure cornball, but they do bring back memories. I also like that you have the option of watching either black and white or color. If you are a fan of b grade horror movies, this set will not dissapoint.

Cheesy, horrible special effects. The killer shrews are large dogs with pieces of carpet on them. If you are a fan of cheesy b horror/sci fi movies of the 50s and 60s, you will love this! The plot isn't the best. In fact, there is nothing that's really done well with this movie. But it is great for a few laughs!
