Curiosity, it's killed the cat and parted fools from their money. I let curiosity get the better of me about Alpha Video's Grindhouse Double Shock Show DVDs. If the DVD I purchased is any example they're not bad, but they aren't great either. I am curious, assuming anyone has picked up any of the other DVDs in this series, if the quality gets any better?
The DVD I picked up was Alpha Video's "Grindhouse Double Shock Show" featuring
The Day Time Ended and
The Doomsday Machine. You can find my review, which is of the DVD not the movies, complete with sample screen caps at
Mise-en-scene Crypt. The cover art, as scene in the screen cap of the DVD menu, is nice. .
However the video quality, overall, leaves much to be desired. My full review can be found
here. To summarize: A disappointing release of two fun looking b-movies.
