That seems to happen alot with Millcreek releases.Delayed until February 14th!
Just be thankful you didn't pay Screams price of $22-25 for Return of the Vampire alone using the same transfer. Considering that these are all small b programmers, and none really considered classics I wasn't expecting anything major for these just a slight upgrade over the DVD's and probably only worth it if you don't already own the DVD's.Very few times in my life have my expectations really been met. Unfortunately, this is one of those times. I was thoroughly underwhelmed by "The Return Of The Vampire" and "The Devil Commands", the movies I have viewed, as of now. Speckles, lines, density fluctuations, middling black levels, etc. are all on display. I did not see (so far) the macro-blocking artifacts that have been reported on the sci-fi set. I had hopes at the beginning of "The Devil Commands". The first 10 minutes or so looked pretty good and then things deteriorated. Are they watchable, yes, but not as good as they could be. At a bit less than $4.50 a film, I probably shouldn't complain so much. I wanted to enjoy again these films I loved so much as a child. I still enjoyed them, but saw a lot of missed opportunities here. I'll await full reviews by people with more reviewing expertise than myself.
I just watched "The Man They Could Not Hang" and, overall, it looked pretty good. For "TROTV", t1g3r5fan gave it a pretty good review here and I wonder if the Scream Factory took more care with the transfer.Just be thankful you didn't pay Screams price of $22-25 for Return of the Vampire alone using the same transfer.

Probably a little bit but it wouldn't correct print damage and that's definitely not worth $22 a film vs. $35 for 8 films.I just watched "The Man They Could Not Hang" and, overall, it looked pretty good.
