Quadruple evil
CONTENTS of ROOTS OF EVIL 4 Movie Pack:

CHRISTMAS EVIL-- Troubled Christmas toymaker plans out and then executes a Yuletime killing spree while disguised as Santa Claus.

DEEP RED: THE HATCHET MURDERS-- Highly regarded story of a psychic who channels the thoughts of a killier, but isn't aware that he's soon to be a victim. British actor/director David Hemmings ("Camelot") stars.

THE HOUSE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK-- Two thugs who crash an upper-class party are insulted by the host and retaliate by holding everyone hostage and torturing them.

MESSIAH OF EVIL-- A woman searching for her missing father discovers clues that indicate he's gone insane. Scripted and directed by the writer of "American Graffiti" and "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." Cast include Elisha Cook Jr., who played the Fat Man's gunsel in "The Maltese Falcon," with Humphrey Bogart.


EVIL PLACES is another unusual 4 movie pack from BCI / Eclipse.


BRENTWOOD's 4-fers are nicely priced movie bundles. Video and sound quality of these digitally unrestored public domain films is generally fine. Discs are dual-side recorded.

You told your friend Alex shut up, $2.00 no knock, Dario Argento, and Ross Garcia all in one 4 Pak
Three Great movies and one really good one.
House on the Edge of the Park with David A. Hess- very graphic and may offend many, but one of my all time favorites. The ending of this film is very good.
Messiah of Evil-I reviewed this movie before, it alone is worth the price of this DVD 4 pak.
Deep Red the Hatchet Murders by Dario Argento-Need I say more this Dario Argento classic is also worth the price of the DVD.
Christmas Evil-Very funny one of my wifes Favorites.

Give It A Rest!!!
This is absolute garbage. You get four films and they are all junk of the lowest quality. If they had an option for zero stars that would not even be enough to tell you how bad they are.
