The MILL CREEK ENTERTAINMENT multi-packs are an excellent way to flesh out an already established video collection with some lesser-known titles. These sets come grouped by genre. Condition of original films varies; video transfers are usually OK and audio can be weak at times. Overall, these vintage flix are quite enjoyable and the price for the box sets is more than fair.

Often they will have a mix of American, foreign and made-for-TV movies-- and this pack is no exception. Users of a data site for films graded these 20 movies. On a 1 to 10 scale, their current average rating is: 4.0.

It's bad quality
I bought these dvd's expecting them to be good quality recordings of bad quality films. Instead, I got bad quality recordings period.They seem to be compressed like vcd pirate copies, and every now and again the company's insignia logo comes up at the bottom right hand of the screen for about 30 seconds or so.
I was disappointed with the vcd-like quality, and annoyed to be assaulted with logos during the films in this way.
Don't buy it.
