A great collection AND Four Film Collection (Cabin Fever / Cabin Fever 2 / Descent / Descent 2)

Lionsgate deserves plaudits for their excellent four film collection series on DVD. I usually buy only blu rays now, but at this great price this was too good an offer to pass up. Even with international shipping, it was highly affordable.

I was surprised to find that the four films came in four separate discs, instead of two-fers or flippers. Disc art is minimal though. Lionsgate has not skimped on the extras either, with a decent amount of valuable supplemental material. One of the films had four commentaries, in fact. Again, I did not expect any extras or even SDH subtitles at this low price for all four films. Lionsgate has somehow managed to fit in all four discs in one standard DVD case, so do not worry about shelf space.

As for the movies themselves, the price of admission is worth for Cabin Fever and Descent alone, both excellent movies. The fact that their not-so-well-known sequels are included is a real bonus. Again, don't expect the sequels to live up to the originals, but they are nevertheless a good way to spend 90 minutes or so. The picture and audio quality of all four films are very good, especially if upsampled on a blu ray or an upconverting DVD player.

If you are a true horror/thriller fan and do not have any of the films featured in this collection, you should add this to your cart post-haste. This box set is highly recommended for all movie fans out there. I can hardly wait to sample the other four film collections issued by Lionsgate, which really has an excellent slate of horror movies. Note that some of the films are available on BD and DVD individually for perfectionists, but this is a real bargain that you will not want to miss.
