Summary: A mix of funny/scary and boring...
Comment: I bought this collection for about $2 at a local supermarket(Shoprite, I think). For that price, it was definitely worth it!
I watched two: "Moon of the Wolf" and "Mama Dracula."
They were both incredibly boring, but according to "Bindy Sue Frønkünschtein 'bigfootsalienbaby'," those are some of the worst. There was a surprising amount of nudity in the latter (and it wasn't like I was very interested, being a female not interested in females), which may explain the R-rating. It was also very hard to follow, everything was all over the place. One minute the professor was dancing with an Eastern European woman, the next, he was in a coach to Mama Dracula's castle. Although boring, some scenes were kind of funny.
The first movie was incredibly boring, and I couldn't sit through the whole thing. The girl was killed and for about the next 15 minutes, the chief walked around talking to bland and uninteresting characters for information.
I will watch the other movies recommended by the reviewer named above. Overall, I think $2 for anything makes it a good deal. I would buy it at the grocery store, not for $12.

Summary: worth it!
Comment: i bought this item because one title sprang out at me which was absolution starring richard burton, a movie i've been wanting to see for ages now. i almost bought it on it's own from amazon which would have costed me $13.99 ++ shipping costs but buying this pack costed me $12.99++. the movie itself is still in good condition as it's only about 30 years old so i considered this purchase as extremely good and i got the other 49 movies as a bonus, so i,ll have an enjoyable time wading through them.

Summary: Get the popcorn, it's Intermission Time...
Comment: Low-budget, fuzzy images, funky clothing, "crappy" special-effects, boogy-down 70's music...what more could you want for under $13?
50 Drive-In "Classics" contained on 12 double-sided DVD's with mostly 4 movies per DVD.
Personally, I can't stand most of the current stuff from Hollywood; give me these cheese-classics anytime.
My personal favorites are The Guy From Harlem, Invasion of the Bee Girls, Katie's Passion, and Rattlers.
Lot's of choices, low-low price, and some personality...can't go wrong with this set.

Summary: More good stuff from MCE
Comment: This is another good collection of public domain flicks from Mill Creek entertainment. It has everything from horror, blacksploitation, and kung fu to monster movie classics, car chase pictures, comedies and a western or two. Not all are great, but enough are if you like B-Movies, to make the set worth the price. You've got directors rangin from Roger Corman to Dario Argento here. A good companion to this one would be Chilling Classics.

Summary: Some Good Shiznat!!!
Comment: I just wanted to throw in my two cents, and give this product a five star rating. I expected nothing but the worst from this product. And I have to agree with most of the reviews, good and bad.
The quality of these movies is not the best. And the biggest problem I have is the audio. Still it is not all that terrible, considering the age of most of these films.
For $13.00 I can say, "this compilation is great". I have watched 8 movies so far, and they are exactly what I expected. Total trash!!! Hehe. I expected more shock value (i.e. grinhouse, exploitation) types of movies. But for the price I can't complain.
Some of the movies on this collection are for sale at $15.00 a piece. And the ability to actually watch these movies (although edited?!!) is worth every penny. If they turn out to be somewhat decent, I might actually buy the remastered editions.
Bottom Line: Think of the movies you would find on 'up all night' with Rhonda Sheer, or 'Kung Fu Theatre'... or the legendary Elvira. That is what you're in for.
