Master Movies offers best quality DVD of The Terror, October 25, 1999
WARNING: If you are looking for a DVD of the Terror, there are some awful copies available! The disc from Master Movies is by FAR the best available. There are no extras to speak of except for some biographical info (some incorrect) but the film looks surprisingly good, especially if you boost the black level on your player. AVOID THE OTHER VERSIONS. The Master Movies version is the one with the non-descript grey cover with a small picture of Nicholson. No extras, blah cover, excellent picture for a public domain film.

A caveat to DVD purchasers, June 14, 1999
WARNING to anyone thinking of purchasing the D-Vision DVD edition of THE TERROR: It is not the letterbox edition touted in Amazon's writeup (my sole reason for ordering it). REPEAT: It is not widescreen; it is in full-screen format, and appears to have been mastered from an EP VHS source.

A Minor Classic., November 7, 2003
If you grew up in the sixties you probably husseled off down to the local cinema to chomp popcorn, slurp soda and watch a film like this, I know I did.
Compaired to todays output it is about as terrifing as chocklate ice cream.
You have a very young Jack Nicholson and a very old Boris Karloff performing this little drama on sets you should recognize from a dozen other "B" Horror films.
Nicholeson's preformance forshadows his later success.
For its time, this is an above average film, an excellent example of the type and period which is why I give it a 5.
I found it well worth watching.
I quite enjoyed it, but that is dating myself.
