Wild West Shootout 4 Movie Pack Review

Wild West Shootout 4 Movie Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
There are many western multi-packs on the market, some with as many as 100 films in them. None of the sets I've examined and/or reviewed contain any of these movies. That alone makes this a desirable collection. There's a couple of fine old Italian-made films here, which is a big plus as well.
SYNOPSES:
"And God Said To Cain" - Euro-western directed by horror specialist Antonio Margheriti. Cast includes Gina Lollobrigida's cousin. Familiar but still exciting story of a wrongly convicted man released from prison after ten years who then seeks revenge on the guilty.
"Blood City" - A reworking of the "Westworld" theme. Several amnesiacs awaken in an Old West town and are forced into slavery. They must engage in and win showdowns in order to eventually face off against the town sheriff.
"Border Shootout" - A young rancher who is appointed deputy in a small town is tyrannized by the son of one of the town's founders.
"The Ruthless Four" - A long-time prospector strikes it rich, then gets double-crossed by his partner. He engages the help of an old friend and two others to retrieve the rest of his gold. They endure many travails on their journey. A variation of "Treasure of the Sierra Madre."
LAW & THE LAWLESS 10 MOVIE PACK has a nice selection of more common public domain westerns, including the excellent "One-Eyed Jacks" with Marlon Brando.

The Classic Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection, Vols. 1 & 2 Review

The Classic Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection, Vols. 1 and 2
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Universal has finally seen the folly of their ways in selling this set exclusively via Best Buy and is re-releasing both volumes 1 & 2 in one set. Included are all ten films in the original sets, but once again there will be no extra features - just the films themselves and some trailers. If you love the great campy horror films of the 1950's you'll love this set. The following is from the press release on the new combined set:
Tarantula (1955, 81 min.)
An experiment to create a growth formula that could end starvation evolves into a nightmare when a contaminated spider grows gargantuan - with an appetite to match!
The Mole People (1956, 78 min.)
Deep below the surface of the earth, three scientists stumble upon a tyrannical tribe of albinos who have enslaved a mutant - and dangerous - race of mole people.
The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957, 81 min.)
After encountering a mysterious radioactive mist, an ordinary businessman finds his physical size diminishing as his ordinary household becomes a terrifying trap of doom. By the way, who keeps a cat in the house with a six inch tall husband around?
The Monolith Monsters (1957, 76 min.)
In a desperate race against time and nature, a geologist and a scientist must find a way to stop effects of killer outer-space rocks that are literally petrifying people with fear!
Monster on the Campus (1958, 76 min)
Terror sweeps a college campus after the discovery of a prehistoric fish that turns animals and humans that come into contact with it into bloodthirsty monsters.
Dr. Cyclops (1940, 78 min) in COLOR!
A brilliant but deranged physicist shrinks his enemies to one-fifth of their normal size when they begin to challenge his unconventional experiments.
Cult of the Cobra (1955, 80 min)
Vengeance is sworn against six American GI's after they witness a clandestine ceremony worshiping beautiful women who can change into serpents.
The Land Unknown (1957, 79 min)
When a navy expedition crash-lands in a crater thousands of miles below sea level, they encounter a hot, tropical landscape of prehistoric terror filled with ferocious dinosaurs.
The Deadly Mantis (1957, 79 min)
A paleontologist teams up with the military to battle a huge praying mantis when it goes on the attack in metropolitan cities after being released from an Arctic iceberg.
The Leech Woman (1960, 77 min)
Determined to recapture her beauty, a woman discovers a compound that will restore youth - but only when it's combined with fluid taken from bodies of the newly dead.
