1.0 out of 5 stars Madacy Should Be Ashamed, April 16, 2001

By	Steve Latshaw (Chatsworth, California USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Some of the titles in Madacy's new Drive-In double feature series are decent-enough quality. This disc, however, is unwatchable. The "Beast" transfer is washed out, with video and black levels far out of spec. The transfer itself appears to have come from a bad 3rd generation VHS. "Brain" is equally horrific... out of focus most of the time, with the framing too tight and off center, as if the producers simply set up a video camera and shot the image off of a television set. The TRAILERS included for both films are actually much better quality than the features. Save your money.

1.0 out of 5 stars DVD deserves DVD quality!, April 4, 2001

By	Tom Phillips "amovie" (Holmdel, New Jersey USA) - See all my reviews

I can not stress how dissapointed I was with the qaulity of this DVD. It looked like the company used a VHS tape recorded in the EP mode for mastering. This compnay should realize that consumers are not stupid. We know what DVDs should look like. Most of us who like these old films already have a poor quality VHS copy at home. I would be happy to pay twenty dollars for either of these titles (as opposed to ten for two),but please don't insult us. If only all DVD older films would look like the Blob that was recently released by Criterion. Most people watch these old movies to remember yesterday. There worth the price if done right.

2.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining Movies and the Horrors They Endure, February 4, 2003

By	TastyBabySyndrome "T(to the)B(to the)S" ("Daddy Dagon's Daycare" - Proud Sponsor of the Little Tendril Baseball Team, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

While looking for Creature From Haunted Cave, a Corman movie listed in the annals of my movie-watching past as something akin to a giant insect feature, I happened upon this double set of it and The Brain That Wouldn't Die, an absolute classic. Now, both of these movies are something worth watching, The Brain that Wouldn't Die a bit more than the almost monster-devoid Beast From, and both rank right up there in the cinema hall of fame that sprouted from the B-movie halls of shame. Still, since both movies have been covered in depth here and on there separate movie pages, I'll focus my attention on the DVD at hand (Killer Creature Combo) and the utter lack of quality it has so you'll perhaps go and buy a better version of both.

Its truly a shame to see these movies cast in the green haze of Killer Creature films as it eats away at the black and white and makes certain scenes wretched and vacant. The darker aspects of the screen sometimes disappear altogether and sometimes the brighter scenes seem to be overcast, ruining the effects of many a movie that would have otherwise been a lot better and killing the moods when monsters decide to drop in and wreak havoc. Added to this is the sound quality of the most abysmal variety, where voices fade in and out and sometimes become so low that one can't hear them, and the fact that the menu to this DVD is an utter annoyance.

If you decide to buy these films, which are both worth a watch, you should definitely spend a little more and go for a transfer that has been remastered. Otherwise, you'll be disappointed when scenes disappear along with your patience!
