    5.0 out of 5 stars A great Mill Creek set - very colorful
    Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2013

    I'm hooked on these 50-movie Mill Creek/Treeline dvd sets. I own 14 and plan to own many more! They are an unbeatable mix of the unexpected, the silly, the rare, and the hilarious. These are bad movies - possibly the best/worst of the bad movies - all at once, mixed up in a bucket, about 4 movies for $1.

    Yes, the video quality is mixed. Yes, most of these seem to be transferred from VHS sources. Yes, some movies are edited, and yes, sometimes the sound quality isn't ideal. If any of this bothers you, do not buy a 50-movie pack. You will need to pay a little more for individual dvds.

    "Sci-Fi Invasion" is one of my favorites! Plenty of bad, laughable, colorful, and genuinely bizarre movies. Overall the movies are newer than the "Sci-Fi Classics" set, mostly color, mostly '60s-80s. A few made-for-tv things. A couple films that don't belong. Lots of personal writing, bad acting, desparate production, and cheap effects. Lots of stuff that is simply hard to believe!

    "R.O.T.O.R." is a comedy, sort of, about a murderous robot traffic cop. "Morons From Outer Space" is a great comedy from the British duo Smith & Jones (RIP to the great Mel Smith). "Prey" is a moody portrait of a morose lesbian-eating alien. "Hundra" is a passionately pointless movie about a woman warrior who Needs To Mate, and "Future Women" shows women taking over the world with eyeliner, wigs, and lots of writhing. I might be wrong, but I think "Alien Factor" was an inspiration for "Tom Goes To The Mayor". "Horror High" feels like a Troma film. "The Day Time Ended" is a fluffy vision of brainless '80s heaven. A few Italian films bring eyeliner and Euro style to outer space. A wealth of cheap effects, rubber monsters, implausible writing, appalling acting. And much more. Endless fun.

    Have a Klaus Kinski double feature! In "Star Knight", which simply must be seen to be believed, he plays an alchemist helping a space alien woo a princess against the efforts of an abbot played by Fernando Rey and a knight played by Harvey Keitel (with a thick Brooklyn accent). In "Primal Impulse", Klaus is the malevolent and possibly imaginary evil overlord controlling a doomed space mission, as seen in the dreams of an amnesiac Italian woman. Ah, Mill Creek.

    Not too many truly "good" films, excepting "Brother From Another Planet" which is terrific. Not many famous faces either. But there are so many strange and silly worlds to look at! Some are gory, and some are at least PG-13 so this is NOT a set for young kids.

    There are some repeats here from other Mill Creek sets: "Hands Of Steel", "The Bat", "Creeping Terror", "War of The Robots", "Manster", "Night Fright", and probably others. Look at the listing before buying.

    Overall, if you like old sf trash, this is a great buy. Lots and lots of laughs.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good value for your dollar
    Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2019

    First off, you need to realize what you're getting into with these Mill Creek collections. They're a bunch of public domain or lower-budget independent movies, some of which were released directly to VHS video tape. If you're expecting remastered 4K HD you're going to be sorely disappointed. What do you expect at what for me amounted to about 25 cents per movie?

    The movies themselves are titles from the 1920's through the early 1990's, and the quality of the films varies. Some random notes on some of the movies.

    "Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe": B-grade science fiction starring Jesse Ventura . This movie has been riffed hiliariosuly on "Rifftrax." Mediocre effects, a nonsensical plot, and terrible acting. Everything you'd expect from early 90's b-grade cinema.

    "Alien Prey" 1975. Bizarre sci-fi-horror movie involving a shape-shifting predator stalking two very dysfunctional women.

    "Battle Beyond the Sun": Plodding 1960's movie with terrible special effects even for the sixties.

    "Brother from Another Planet": A mid-80's art-house sci-fi movie that gets surprisingly good mileage out of its minimal budget. This is actually a pretty good movie with some good performances in it.

    "The Crater Lake Monster" A late 1970's movie involving a loch-ness monster type creature set in Oregon. I'm fairly certain many of the people in this were not real actors. The creature is a cheesy stop-motion animated puppet. You can also get this one from Rifftrax.

    "The Creeping Terror": A simply awful 1960's sci-fi-monster movie featuring a creature that looks like it was constructed out of random scraps of outdoor carpet. Featured on MST3K, and pretty much unwatchable without it.

    "The Day Time Ended": A quirky late 70's movie wherein a supernova creates an interdimensional rift & sweeps a family into another world. Surprisingly decent effects for a low-budget science fiction movie.

    "Extraterrestrial Visitors": This movie appeared on MST3K as "Pod People." It features an alien that looks like the love child of Chewbacca and Mr. Snufaluffagus.

    "Galaxina": When your star is a former Playboy playmate, you know you're going to be in for an interesting ride.

    "Hands of Steel": A Terminator ripoff from the 80's, starring b-movie mainstay John Saxon as the villain. This one is a hoot because the actor playing the martial-arts-cyborg clearly had no training in fight choreography. Also features gratuitous arm wrestling.

    "The Head": A bizarre dubbed German film from the 1960's. Black & white and and incomprehinsible.

    "Hundra": One of the many, many Conan the Barbarian ripoffs made in the 1980's. This one boasts a soundtrack by the legendary Enrico Morricone. The movie has some good stunt sequences (and buckets of stage blood), but the actress in the title role's main acting technique in this film is to shriek like a banshee.

    "Hyper Sapien: People from Another Star": A cute mid-80's ET-ripoff. The creature design is actually pretty unique, and unlike ET they're not pacifists. In the final chase scene with the cops they start slicing police cars in half with laser beams!

    "Morons from Outer Space": 1985, looks like a British-American co production. This was actually one of the main reasons I bought this collection. A hilarious sci-fi-comedy involving not-to-bright aliens that crash-land and their interactions with equally not-to-bright Earthlings.

    "R.O.T.O.R": Another 1980's Terminator ripoff. Features on Rifftrax as well.

    "Slipstream": A late-1980's movie with Bill Paxton & Mark Hamil. A post-apocalypitic movie filmed in Turkey, featuring a civilization where people primarily travel around in ultralight airplanes. The primary conflict is over a runaway android (the only really likable character in the movie).

    "Star Knight": 1980's, Klaus Kinski & Harvey Keitel are the big names in this one. First contact with aliens in the Middle Ages. The actor playing the movies main villain (a bishop) arguably puts on the best performance of this film.

    "Top Line": Late 70's Spanish film with a badly dubbed George Kennedy as the aging Nazi villain. The plot revolves around a struggling author trapped in Columbia, finding a lost pirate ship that's in a cave on top of a mountain because aliens. Surprisingly interesting plot, marred by the fact this is one of the worst-picture quality movies in this set.

    "Trapped by Television": In 1929 television was science fiction. In this one a scientist goes to ridiculous lengths to get funding for his new invention, and ends up getting tangled with a variety of shady and quirky characters.

    "Welcome to Blood City." Stars Jack Palance. Mid-70's movie that's sort of a combination of "The Prisoner" TV series & "Westworld." An escaped convict in a dystopian future finds himself in a bizarre version of a wild west town where might truly makes right.

    I got this for my mom for Christmas. She's a big sci-fi movie fan and she absolutely loved these.

    These are B movies. Do not expect amazing blockbusters. However, they are cheesy and fun. It's a great way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.

    So if you or someone you know likes cheesy B movies, then this is the perfect purchase.

    5.0 out of 5 stars superior selection

    50 movies for less than £13, including p&p from the States? I reckon you've got your money's worth with Slipstream and Morons From Outer Space alone - the other 48 you can say are thrown in for free. Seriously, you can't go wrong; as sets of 50 movies go - and I've bought several recently - this is remarkably free from obvious examples of the 'not even so bad it's good, just plain awful' genre. OK for this money, you're not going to get cleaned-up, digitally resurrected and enhanced craftsmanship, there's going to be some real turkeys in the flock, and Oscar-winning performances will be thin on the ground - so if you're the sort of person who watches old movies just to sneer and find fault, you'll be spoilt for choice. But I've been more than £13 entertained already, and I've only watched the first 3 of the dozen discs. Great stuff!

    This Mill Creek Sci Fi set is very good. The films are on 12 single sided discs and I found them all to be watchable though it's kind of like watching old VHS tapes - which, for me, actually adds to the charm of these B movies.
