2.0 out of 5 stars Close but not quite, May 1, 2001

By	Timothy Ramzyk (Milwaukee, WI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was really excited when I read a review stating that this is the best Track of The Vampire has ever looked on home video. This is true, but it's also missing a fairly substantial amout of footage. The second victims drowning on the beach is missing a chunk, the scene where the Sordi cathes the nightclub act of the stripper is gone, there's an obvious jump in the scene where one of Sordi's future victims is researching his history, and the murder of one of the models is also cut short. Add to this some pretty so-so audio and the annoying cartoon Drive-screen that the film starts out in, you may find this release of Track a bit disappointing. That said, that this found it's way on to DVD at all is something to be grateful for.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great package, April 15, 2001

By A Customer

I must admit, I bought this DVD because I loved the cover! Rather like one would admit going to see a Drive-in movie because they loved the poster. The ballyhoo worked in this case. I also figured for 10 bucks, how could I go wrong? After all was said and done, the movies were wonderfully terrible as I expected. What surprised me was the QUALITY of the transfer, albeit from worn material. TRACK OF THE VAMPIRE looked especially impressive, even presented in widescreen! There is nothing memorably awful about the film unfortunately and its foray into the "artsy fartsy" horror genre pales in comparison to the moody and stylish NIGHTMARE CASTLE a film more concerned about its creepy visual style than creating anything remotely plausible. If this sounds enjoyable to you, then this is 10 bucks well spent. Those who fear Madacy discs, don't fret too much here. They've actually done a smashing job with this DVD.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth it for the rarity, April 4, 2001

By A Customer

Kind of a mixed bag here. One one hand, it's cool to be able to see these rare films again, and at a great price. On the other hand, the prints leave something to be desired. Also, the visual conceit of being at the drive-in, while cute, makes the mistake of shrinking down the first 10 seconds or so of each movie inside a cartoonish drive-in graphic. Future releases might want to keep the drive-in vibe, but leave the movies unscathed. The cartoons in between features and the additional trailers are a nice touch, though. Three stars just to see these rarities again.
