Title: Lots of Promise, Shabby Delivery
Product review: I wasn't really expecting much from a budget-label DVD set, but I do pick them up on the cheap when I can as a means of screening obscure or hard to find films. That way I can decide whether or not to seek out better, higher-quality editions.In this instance, the films were the sort of 50's and 60's era blood and thunder you'd expect, but the faded, beaten and tinny-sounding public domain/TV prints they used left the films more anaemic and wheezing than blood and thunder.The fault is not the films themselves (which are actually rather interesting), but rather with the shabby, low-budget source material used and the indifferent digital transfer.As the previous reviewer stated, I would be embarassed to screen these for a Bible Study group or film appreciation class, but for private home viewing they should tide you over until somebody releases better editions.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
