Movie Reviews of Quatermass 2
Movie Review: Good Hammer sci-fi
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie is very good for the most part. Hammer has expanded on the first Quatermass movie with great results. It can be a little talky and slow at times but there is always a sinister atmosphere of evil throughout the film. The ending is very good.Movie Review: This is a DVD-R
Summary: 3 Stars
This is not so much a review, but rather some information about this DVD. The movie itself is a great black & white British Sci-Fi thriller and I recommend it. I used to own the Anchor Bay release of this movie that went Out-Of-Production several years ago and started fetching big bucks on Amazon Marketplace and "that other auction site". As much as I liked the film, I sold original copy for a tidy profit and was hoping this film had been Re-released on DVD when I ordered this. After receiving it, I found out this was a DVD-R copy of the original. What that means is it is "burned" onto a writable DVD rather than being "pressed" or manufactured in a factory. DVD-Rs are pretty much the same as DVDs, but they don't play in some very old dvd players (1998 and earlier) there is some question as to their longevity. I sent it back for a refund, so I am not sure if it has the exact same features as the original Anchor Bay disc. If you are dying to see this movie, this is the only way to legally do it right now, but I think the asking price is too high for a DVD-R.Movie Review: LIKED IT AS A KID.
Summary: 3 Stars
LAST SAW THIS MOVIE AS A KID 45 YEARS AGO OR SO AND THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY COOL.FOR LAST FEW YEARS WOULD SEE IT FOR SALE FROM TIME TO TIME AT VERY HIGH PRICES.I AM VERY GLAD I DID NOT PAY MUCH FOR IT . AS AN ADULT IT LOST SOME OF ITS COOL.BUT AT THE PRICE IT IS STILL A GOOD OLD SIFI FLIC FOR A COLLECTION.
Movie Review: CAVEAT EMPTOR - BUYER BEWARE!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I was so glad when on a whim one day I noticed that old Hammer horror titles previously released by Anchor Bay Entertainment appeared to be getting a re-release. Boy, was I wrong about that! Don't be fooled. DVD-R's are no substitute for a real factory manufactured product. The pictures appear murky, bleeding and washed out even though its obviously a direct burn from a genuine Anchor Bay DVD. The sound drops in and out. I played each disc on 3 different players manufactured by 3 different companies. In all I wasted $20 dollars a piece on 3 of these pathetic knock offs. Originally when I purchased these titles there was NO mention of them being bootleg quality DVD-R's. I don't know who's ingenious idea it was to propose such a gross misuse of wasted effort. Either shame on Anchor Bay or shame on Amazon for perpetuating such poor quality knock offs at such an absurd price. They even use the original Anchor Bay DVD's cover art printed by a laser printer however most of the special features listed will not appear.
I.E. - The Legend Of The 7 Golden Vampires does not include the U.S. cut of the film as mentioned.
What a crime in itself either release the film correctly or don't bother at all. What a tease. What a waste of my money and time.
The movie had this been a genuine product released through Anchor Bay would've received 5 stars.
I threw my money away on:
Dracula Prince Of Darkness
Frankenstein Created Woman
The Legend Of The 7 Golden Vampires
Save your money until somebody with half a brain decides to do the right things with the old deleted Hammer titles. I'm still very dissatisfied with this scenario.
Movie Review: Beware, this is NOT an Original Anchor Bay!
Summary: 1 Stars
The movie itself is great, but please be aware that this is NOT the original Anchor Bay edition of this dvd. I ordered this dvd, thinking that this rare dvd had finally been re-released by Anchor Bay, only to find out it's only a DVD-R copy of the original. Amazon needs to be much clearer in their description of this dvd & let buyers know that it is not a factory pressed DVD. I'm not sure how the licensing for such a DVD-R was worked out with Amazon & Anchor Bay (presumably it was or it would not be for sale on Amazon) but Amazon should not list it like the original Anchor Bay edition which is obviously still out of print and rare. I sent mine back for a refund since as a collector I want the real thing.
