Not so good...

Silent night bloody night was poor in sound and video. Watchable but not all that good. Rating: C-
Satan's school for girls was the best produced of the bunch with decent acting by a very young Kate Jackson and Cheryl Ladd of Charlie's
Angels. Sometimes the film has blemishes but mostly a good video transfer. I would purchase this one on its own as I like the genre. It is a true B movie.
Don't look in the basement is absurd. I read some good reviews for this movie but don't understand why. It is very low budget, very campy, and the actors are substandard. I am not trying to be funny, but I think the only way to enjoy this movie is if you are very high or if you saw this movie as a kid and it brings back memories. Otherwise, a waste of time. I would rate it D-.
Finally, House on Haunted Hill is a classic with Vincent Price. Not one of my favorites and the remake was alot better, but nevertheless this one has its fans. I suppose I would rate it C+.
Overall, I would not purchase this set again. However,I did enjoy Satan's School for Girls and will probably purchase it on its own. This 4 movie set will sit on my "file away" shelf. Hope this review helps. December 17, 2007

Just a little evil

Future CHARLIE'S ANGELS Kate Jackson and Cheryl Ladd appeared together over a decade earlier in the made-for-tv movie "Satan's School For Girls," which is featured in the EVIL PLACE 4 MOVIE pack. There's lots more chillingly dark fun to be had here, so do enjoy!

If purchasing movies in groups of fours is your thing, then you're sure to also like HORROR RISES FROM THE GRAVE.

I agree with J. Autrey "jimmyplm"

This is a really good 4 pak. No problems, I would not Highly recommend it but I would strongly recommend it.
Silent Night Bloody Night- I also have this movie on a single DVD pak, I like it plus it has John "The Sentinel" Carridine in it.
Don't Look in the Basement- Like J. Autrey "jimmyplm" said, worth the price of the 4 pak alone
Satan School for Girls-My kind of movie I compare it with The Initiation of Sarah, and another impossible to find movie Midnight Offerings about these two highschool witches one Evil Robin and one Good Sarah, I believe the names are correct. If anyone can tell me where I could find this rare film Midnight Offerings not to be confused with Burnt Offerings with Karen Black and Oliver Reed another great film, anyway I would be grateful. Btw in Satan School for Girls get a good look at those White shoes the "Stud" Teacher is wearing.
House on Haunted Hill-It has Vincent Price and Elijah Cook, need I say more. Plus it is very funny

For the Price...

this set is great for Don't Look in the Basement and/or House on Haunted Hill alone but WAIT you get both AND a couple of low budget knock-offs. For a b-movie buff, these are awesome! January 3, 2005

True the movies are a bit cheesy, it's still a Good deal!!

Being a sucker for cheap DVDs, I recently purchased this at my local Suncoast for a whole $6.99. I came home with it, assuming it would be bad. The movies are cheesy, and the Silent Night movie isn't as indicated on the box, but in general this is a good buy. Although cheesy, the movies are still quite enjoyable. House on Haunted Hill and Don't Look in the Basement are classics (at least pseudo-classics).

If you are into cheap DVDs and don't mind a little cheese in your movies than this is the deal for you. April 4, 2004
