Hey mondofiles,

found this Box set over at ign and going by the sweet box cover art thought this was a set that might tickle a few peoples' fancy.

I for one, am not familiar with any of the movies, but thought that some fo you might like to give a bit of viewering wrap to the nature of this set. Anyone?




The Roger Corman Collection DVD will feature the following movies:


The Wild Angels
A Bucket Of Blood
Gas-s-s-s
Premature Burial
X: The Man With X-Ray Eyes
The Trip
Bloody Mama
The Young Racers

I'm sorry to say I'm not familiar with any of those films either. Does anyone know if this is worth it- or is someone just trying to squeeze a few bucks/pounds out of us by scraping the bottom of the Corman barrel?

Cheers,
Ryan

Not at all - some of these films are great, and show Corman to be than just a producer of low budget shlock. X: The Man With X-Ray Eyes is a fantastic, creepy B-movie with Ray Milland, Bloody Mama features Shelly WInters as a psychotic gang boss in Depression era America and Gas-s-s-s is that weird movie about a gas that only kills people over 25. Although The Trip hasn't aged very well, it's still worth seeing as a relic of late 60s, LSD-era hippy cinema.

Wild Angels is great and the Trip...is a trip

Thanks- While in the past few years I've seen scores of 70's exploitation films- luckily there is still plenty of great stuff left to discover. Apparently you can get all of this for under $30- sounds like a steal.

Cheers,
Ryan

Another Corman Suggestion - Creature from the Haunted Sea is fantastic in it's awful-ness

Essentially a giant shag carpet with ping pong ball eyes "terrorizes" a sailing boat

Hardly bottom of the barrel mate.

I liked X Man with the X Ray Eyes (with special guest star Don Rickles!!).
Cant remember Premature Burial that well-seem to recall some story twists to it though.
