Customer Reviews:
BEST Sci-Fi package EVER!
December 1, 2008
This is the best Sci-Fi package ever, since several of my favorite ones from my childhood are included. "Tarantula!", "The Incredible Shrinking Man", "Cult of the Cobra", etc. All included films helped make my childhood more interesting and the time pass by questioning the diversity of our universe, not to mention the active mind of man. "...Shrinking Man" is perhaps my top favorite for the questions it raises about mankind and his quest for self-destruction, nuclear energy's negative side, and the beauty of profound philosophical thought as well as our smallness in the universe. It has stayed with me always and I thank Richard Matheson, daily, for his gift - his many gifts to me(us) . The others all caused thought to engage, actively. What a wonderful package this is! I bought it as soon as I knew it to be available - not just to stir my childhood memories, but to stir some new adult ones. To those who produced it, A GRATEFUL, THANKS!

Ten classic science fiction flicks from Universal proves you can run, but you can't hide. A giant tarantula, the monolith monsters, a monster on the campus, a giant praying mantis, a leech woman and a mad scientist meat half of these films.
Transfer quality is great. Trailers for these movies are included. That's it. No commentary, no documentaries, no rare features. Still, the picture quality and the price is worth it.
Small trivia to look out for. The script for "The Land Unknown" was scripted by radio script writer William N. Robson trying his hand at a screenplay. "The Incredible Shrinking Man" was scripted by Richard Matheson, from his novel of the same name -- the same man responsible for "The Omega Man / The Last Man on Earth." The airforce pilot who saves the day in "Tarantula" remains hidden in the suit and helmet but take my word for it -- that's Clint Eastwood! The Universal Studios backlot was featured prominently in "The Monolith Monsters" so look out for that Back to the Future clock!
This set is a lot of fun, so be prepared!

Pour le tarif demandé, c'est véritablement un plaisir de retrouver tous ces vieux films, délicieusement inoffensifs, qui sont aussi un voyage dans l'Amérique des années 50.
The Monomith Monster est tout à fait étonnant, un film dont les effets spéciaux restent saisissants.
L'image et le son sont irréprochable, comme souvent s'agissant des DVD de la Universal.
Pour les amateurs de sci-fi US des années 50, c'est le coffret à avoir.

This collection of classics, Vol. 1 and 2 should be part of every sci-fi lover's film shelf. I haven't seen some of these films for years, and welcome them home like long-lost relatives: "The Leech Woman" with Collen Gray, "Cult of the Cobra" with Richard Long and Marshall Thompson, and "Deadly Mantis" with William Hopper. For sci-fi fans, this collection is a winner!
The cult lives on...

To put it short; this box is one of the best DVD collections of classic old B/W horror movies I have come across. Nice packaging, great quality and of course timeless movies. This is a must.
