4.0 out of 5 stars John Carpenter Triple Header, March 10, 2007

This review is from: The Vampires Collection: Vampires, Vampires: Los Muertos, and Vampires: The Turning (DVD)

A simple box case for three movies in their original packaging. No additional extras are provided or slimmer packaging, its just a convenient way to pick up three movies. These are John Carpenter's three Vampires movies. They are as follows:

Vampires: the original staring James Woods at his absolute best as a church-sanctioned vampire hunter who find himself as all that stand between humanity and total vampire domination. I have watched this one many times. A personal favorite.

Vampires Los Muertos: Jon Bon Jovi is a vampire hunter hired to go after a master vampire following in the footsteps of the baddie from the first film. Rewatchable but not as good as the first.

Vampires The Turning: A new vampire mythology with the action set in Thailand. An American tourist tries to save his girlfriend from a vampire and gets caught up in a plot to eliminate all vampires for good. Nifty plot and settings. A very visually pleasing film.

Three good and solid vampire films with Los Muertos being the weakest as it is the least original and lacks the star power of the first. A convenient way to pick up the whole set. Check it out.

This review is from: The Vampires Collection: Vampires, Vampires: Los Muertos, and Vampires: The Turning (DVD)

I liked being able to purchase all three "Vampires" movies in a single collection. However, the description in Amazon's ad is wrong: the aspect ratio (format) for all three movies is NOT widescreen (1.85:1). The fact is, the formats are inconsistent:

Vampires (1) - 1.33:1 (4x3) "full screen" only.
Vampires (2): Los Muertos - both 1.33:1 "full screen" and 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen.
Vampires (3): The Turning - 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen only.

The big disappointment was not being able to watch the first movie (Vampires) in widescreen. Why is anyone still distributing movies in the old 1.33:1 format? As far as I can tell, Vampires has never been released to DVD in widescreen.

As for the second movie (Vampires: Los Muertos), it is one of those double-sided DVDs with the "full screen" version on one side and the widescreen version on the other. Yuck!
