Title: TERRIBLE & Destructive packaging of some important films
Review: Sure the cover looks great and it's wonderful to have collected five key Universal Dracula films in one place but, as other reviewers have pointed out, the disks too easily slip from their moorings and scratch hell out of them. Even finding an unscratched disk is no guarantee that the films will play (for some reason, Son of Dracula simply refused to start on three different DVD players). I had to go through three sets before landing on one that plays everything. The bulk of material here is great (I teach film and I'm satisfied with the transfer quality and supplements), but I cringe at the commentary by VAN HELSING director, Stephen Sommers, as he really has nothing of interest to say and as the whole project smacks of tie-in marketing. Universal REALLY dropped the ball on this to the point where an upgrade and free-trade in would be within reason.
