I just wish I was awash in $$$ and could buy the whole set.  This is a really good, sufficiently complicated story with a fine cast.  I was amused by the English playing Americans and Americans playing English.  See if you can pick them out.  I don't think I would have liked Harry Gordon Selfridge very much, but I do enjoy looking at the actor who plays him because he has a terrificly amusing bearded smile!

It seems that "Bone Tomahawk" is a movie that will really divide viewers. People will either love it or hate it, with no one in the middle ground. Personally, I really enjoyed it. That is not to say that the movie is without flaws. The low budget of the enterprise (less than $2 million) is evident at times though I credit writer/director S. Craig Zahler for working hard so the movie never looks extremely cheap.

And yes, the movie is both long (over two hours in length) and for the most part, slow moving; the movie would almost certainly have been better had the pacing been somewhat quicker. Despite these flaws, the movie does have a lot of power. The dialogue is pretty good, being colorful but not too much; you can believe these characters would say what they say.

The acting is also professional; the cast manages to sell their characters. When it comes to action and violence, you do have to wait a long time for the serious stuff to come, but it's worth the wait, being very hard hitting and seriously bloody. And while the movie is overlong and slow, I personally wasn't bored at any moment; there is always something of interest going on. But despite my enjoyment of the movie, as I said, it's not for everyone. But if you like westerns and possess a good amount of patience, you'll probably enjoy this movie.

I had this DVD sitting around for about a year before I got around to starting it. The Amazon reviews weren't exactly good and I was in no rush to watch it (got the DVD for free).

Having been involved in some low budget film-making in New York with Youtube director Frank Stamm, I started this film last night (and will probably finish it this weekend) and I wanted to post a review to counter the many negative reviews on Amazon. For a low budget film, it's actually pretty good.

What the film is not: It's not a fast-paced intense horror film, so the box art is a little misleading.

What the film is: It's a low-budget film made with some care. In terms of quality it reminded me of some of the Asian soap operas my wife watches (which are shot in actual rooms rather than on sets): you can see that there wasn't a huge budget, and it runs a little slow, but the quality is decent enough that you can keep watching pretty easily.

Most of the primary actors have some talent. The couple actors who are horribly stiff thankfully have had very small parts in the film.  The main character is a woman (Christine Charters?) and the actress who plays her is great. She's a capable actress, she's pretty, and she's seen in some revealing outfits.

I could recommend buying this film used, but more for people who like independent film than horror movie fans. The film is sort of like a low-budget soap opera with horror elements.

Considering that this movie was made on what appears to be a shoestring budget in the nicer parts of South America, or so I would imagine, it's not a bad film.  Some of the music and sound design isn't really as bad as some have portrayed it in other reviews, kind of modern and edgy.  The effects are top-notch considering what the production staff had to work with.  The actors admittedly had to go through hell to get some scenes cut and the director may be a bit more sadistic than he would have everyone else believe.  Not a bad exploitation or "torture-porn" movie.

The movie centers around two Christin Cursaders /Knights (Cage and Perlman) who are called upon by the church to deliver a young girl accused of being a witch to to a distant abby. All in the hope that the monks at the abby can determine her guilt or innoncence; and save the world from the plague in the process; the girl is thought to be the cause of the plague.

The two Knightts are joined on their journey by another Knight who lost his daughter to the plague, a priest, an alter boy, and a crocked mechant who acts as their guide.  On their journey to the abby, they face numerous perils; all while learning more about the innocence or guilt of the accused witch.

There are a couple of great twist at the end, and enough action throughout to keep you engaged. Cage and Perlman, in my opinion, are never really believable in period pieces....it's their accents...or lack there off, that distracts from the character.  I actually think the minior characters are the ones that make this movie a 4 star...some decent acting among this bunch.

For those concerned about violence...well, the film does have quite a bit of violence....however, its not very gory.  I think its ok for 13 year olds and older; and the film does contain some religious themes, but is far from preachy.

Acting: Pearlman & Cage "B"
Acting: Remaining cast  "A"
Story:  "B"
Special Effects/Cinematography: "B"

Its worth renting...good flick if you're sitting at home on Saturday night.....

Not the most flashy game ever made, but it's definitely worth the 30$ I paid for it. Plays well, looks decent and has an interesting story with good characters.

This is not a bad movie for very low budget. Was a nice introduction for Mel Gibson as Mad Max.

You know, for the budget of this movie, i was quite pleased with this watch. What bothers me most though is that i seem unable to find this on IMDB. A neat little gem of high school struggles and under developed minds while still somehow drawing the viewer in with a pretty good narrative. As a long term cinephile, i do recommend this as a good watch with minimal fluff.

Good for the price on Prime definitely... I enjoyed it as something to do for an hour and change. As someone else commented a lot of familiar faces from the campy B movie genre. It wasn't the greatest vampire movie i ever watched, but by far wasn't the worst. If you are looking for the next Dracula or Interview with a Vampire, keep looking... but it was fun to watch anyway.

For a low-budget movie, this turned out to be surprisingly good! The acting is good, the special effects are sufficiently creepy, and the historical twist makes for an interesting storyline. Overall, well worth adding to any haunting/horror movie collection (especially for $3.74).

This movie has a lot going for it. Sure, there are some things you'll have to overlook - starting with the claims that it's based on "true" events, but for a supernatural thriller it's actually pretty good. Here's why:

The acting is surprisingly good across the board. I've always been a fan of Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica), but I also recognized Chad Michael Murray (One Tree Hill) and Abigail Spencer - all three gave good performances. The child actress (Emily Alyn Lind) was also very good, with a great range of emotions - including a very creepy scene with her mother at the hospital.

The historical aspect of the movie - that the Wyrick family moves into a house that was part of the Underground Railroad during the Civil War, and the land is now haunted - sets this movie apart from typical "haunted house" movies. The "twist" at the end becomes pretty obvious early on in the movie, but despite that it was still an interesting storyline.

And the special effects were also very good for this type of movie. It isn't remotely scary, but it is definitely creepy. The set is perfect - the old house, the woods, the hiding place for the Underground Railroad - all of it created a great atmosphere for the movie. The trailer scene in particular had me cringing and whimpering a little - all signs of a good horror flick! My only real dislike was the low-budget use of red filters to indicate when someone was seeing a ghost. I think I could have followed the "ghost" moments just fine without constantly being "told" what was happening. But then again, maybe that's just me being too nit-picky.

And this is probably just me, but when the "bad" guy was finally revealed I couldn't shake the feeling that I'd seen that guy before. Took me a while to place it, but the taxidermist (horror version) looks a LOT like the Terrians from the TV show Earth 2. Google both and you'll see what I mean. Had to laugh a little - obviously the director and I watch the same things!

I think one of the greatest compliments I can give this movie is that I didn't hit the pause button even once. Usually I get fidgety or bored at some point during a movie and hit pause and wander off for a while. This one held my attention throughout the entire movie, and when it was over the first thing I said was, "Wow - that was actually pretty good!" I haven't seen the first movie or the Discovery Channel documentary, but I don't think either are necessary to enjoy this movie.

Overall, I think this is a great addition to the "haunting" genre, especially if you have an interest in historical thrillers. Well worth adding to your collection and you can't beat the price!

Great set if you're looking to get a large variety of westerns, from Gene Autry to John Wayne to Lee Van Cleef, all in one set for a decent price compared to what you'd spend on sets with less films.

So far the only issue I've noticed is that Arizona Days is missing about 10 minutes of the middle of the film and in a 52 minute film, there a bug chunk of the story you end up missing. Shortly after the villains are introduced is where the cut happens. The complete film can be found on the Internet Archive and I'd suggest skipping the version in this set and watching it there.

For those that just want to know what they missed, here goes. The stage show goes on a bit more while the villains leave. Shortly after that, it's discovered that the show's wagons are burning and nobody knows who did it but there are suspects. Word spread about Tex standing up to the bad guys in the theater and he receives some admiration from the sheriff and county commissioner. With the show broke from the wagons being burned, Tex needs a job. With the large amount of unpaid taxes from the villains, this leads to him being offered  a job as a tax collector, which he accepts. He rides out to visit his crush. The kid spills the beans that she got dolled up for him, which she denies. Just then, the gang rides up and tells Tex he needs to get out of town. Tex responds that he was hired to collect taxes and they need to pay up. The gang says they won't pay and give him 5 seconds to get on his horse and get out of town. This is where the film picks up again.

For the price of the set and the variety of westerns, I would have given it 5 stars but given the fact at least one film is incomplete, I have to knock it down a notch.

Warners has been doing stand-up service; this is reasonably priced the extras are fine, the transfers are excellent, and even the weakest movie in this set (MACKINTOSH MAN) is an efficient genre picture with some offbeat locations, so I'll return to it even if it isn't a masterpiece.  While the set may be short on Newman classics (a la THE HUSTLER, THE VERDICT, etc.), all the film are highly watchable; THE LEFT-HANDED GUN, an Arthur Penn film, is quite underrated, and POCKET MONEY is a funny change-of-pace.  HARPER and DROWNING POOL are well-made old-school detective flicks; I actually like DROWNING POOL a bit better than HARPER, due to its New Orleans locations and Walter Hill's script, but HARPER is a classic of sorts. If you think you'll like it, you will.

For the price that you pay for these two movies, there is really nothing you can complain about.

Both movies are part of a genre that requires you to suspend disbelief.  They're really mild fantasy films for adults.  Whether you're watching Blame It On Rio or The Woman In Red, the theme is generally the same: a married man cheats with a luscious woman.  The plots of both movies work because the cast supports them.  Of course, the two women are attractive and this makes the movie at least half way convincing and worthwhile.  Kelly LeBrock still looks gorgeous now!

Both movies are stored on a dual-layer DVD and you simply select the movie you want to view from the disc's only menu.  There are no scene selection menus at all.  But like I mentioned earlier, you can't complain for the price.  Hence, the full 5-star rating.

Not a bad movie.
Movie is decently thought out. Acting is actually not too bad for a seemingly low budget film.

Props and traps seem to remind me of SAW.
All in all, not a terrible pick.

Boris Karloff, like fellow star Bela Lugosi, made some real quality movies for major studios and also some low budget efforts for minor studios.  The silents being an exception, the work here is mostly the lower budget stuff for Monogram and studios like that.  The prints are not pristine, but are quite watchable.  I wanted this set because I had several of the Wong films but not all of them; it was nice to get them all in one set at such a bargain price. ( There was one Wong film made after Karloff left the series, which is NOT included here; too bad but then, with no Karloff in it, I suppose it doesn't really belong in this set. ) I haven't watched all of the other films.  I did watch "Island Monster and have to admit; it's really terrible. The script is bad, the acting is awful, Karloff not being awful,  but turning in a weak performance for him, and featuring one of the most obnoxious child performances ever put on film. The dubbing is so bad it's very hard to hear what people are saying. Still for this price, a clinker or two in the set isn't such a big deal.  Again, lesser films but some of them are rare and well worth the small price tag.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie.  My expectation for watching this was to suffer through bad acting and bad storyline just to get to "the monster".  By setting the story in the desert, the production value was spent on the CGI monster and better actors than I thought would appear in a movie like this.  To be sure, this is a "B movie", but it performs as well as some of hollywood's mainstream offerings.  The cast are all Australian/British and unlike Mad Max or Crocodile Dundee do not have super "over-the-top" personalities. The other movies tend to make you focus on the accents and mannerisms in an attempt to add some value to their storyline.  The plot is pretty straightforward: Specualtors in the desert uncover something nasty and get killed.  Some reseachers happen upon them and then the fun begins...  There are only one or two "cliche" moments in this movie, (the awkward boy-girl kiss) & ("i can't kill the monster, I'm a scientist and I must STUDY it" *hoofa*) which is why I have to ding it a star, otherwise I'd have given this movie 4 stars, by simply over-achieving on a low budget.  I recommend it for renting or if you have 5 bucks burning a hole in your pocket at the DVD discount rack.
