This is a pretty cool disc considering that the price is only a few dollars. Not all the trailers are especially interesting or good, but at that price it’s okay. What I don’t like though, are the ugly watermark that’s been branded into all of the trailers. It’s not that annoying, you get used to it, but it is unnecessary.

The quality of the trailers varies, but most of them are pretty decent. All but a very few are presented in fullscreen.

Two hours of entertainment for a few bucks: recommended!

Some weird samples for you:

Night of the Bloody Apes (with a little teaser for Feast of Flesh at the nd) is one of the best trailers on the disc. Plenty of gore makes this a nice little trailer. It also shows some of the authentic footage from an open heart surgery. Not for those who don't like blood. Here, 10,8Mb.

The second trailer is for The Gruesome Twosome, a Psycho inspired film about a mother and son killing-team. Starts with a warning to the audience that if you are the least bit squeamish, turn your head! Here, at 7,8Mb.
