Available on DVD in the US (2009)


I believe this is now available in the US in a 5 pack DVD called "Death Scream" (no plural). Does anyone own this? Is it edited? Is the order mixed up like the UK dvds?

I own it. I bought it at Best Buy. It's a Collectible Tin shaped like a tombstone with a skull on it. The 5 dvds include:Good Against Evil(Not Rated since this was a made for TV Movie intended to be a weekly series on ABC,but failed to get picked up after the pilot aired),Legacy Of Blood, Blood Tide, Don't Look In The Basement, and then of course Death Screams. It has a set of 3 previews of each dvd as a bonus which are just a short clip of each film in this set. It's also supposed to have a still gallery as a bonus feature,but I can't find it if it's on there. Also it's listed as being all PG-13 rated movies which like I said before is not the case. Good Against Evil was made for network tv. Therefore it wasn't rated by the MPAA. Like Death Screams all of the others are really rated R,but I noticed that Madacy Home Entertainment/Full Moon Entertainment blurred out the nudity in Blood Tide and Death Screams. I thought this was just in the previews clips they censored the nudity,but sadly no. For this set all nudity has been blurred out via pixelations. I checked the beginning of Blood Tide and part of Death Screams. They're both censored versions. I've watched Blood Tide online and it's uncensored,but then that film never had much nudity. LOL Even Good Against Evil looks like it may've been slightly edited since it was a little intense for a made for tv movie,but it never had nudity just some violence and intense visuals.

That's stupid if you're gonna release it in a dvd 5 pack and blur the nudity with the pixels they use to blur nudity out on broadcast tv.At least i've got the double feature east west dvd that does'nt blur a single shot of nudity at all even if other's have said the quality is'nt great on this guess with Deep Red being the cut version and all.Sounds to me like it beats the crap out of the quality of this 5 dvd extravaganza.

That's why I never go in for those 'multifilm packs' because this is what usually happens. The films are censored, blurry, you name it. These outfits that churn out this garbage are no better than bootleggers.

Just avoid them and save your cash. And hope for an official release.
