Stephen King: 4 Film Favorites

Dreamcatcher Dolores Claiborne Stephen King's Cat's Eye Creepshow

A good value, but.....

...Cat's Eye is the standout feature and I don't really care for the other three. I bought it for Cat's Eye hoping that I might like one of the others. Still, I am reasonably satisfied as this was only a few dollars more than the Cat's Eye only dvd.
If you are a fan of Creepshow as well as Cat's Eye it is worth the purchase. I think I would have walked out on Dreamcatcher if I saw it in theaters. And Delores Claiborne is a somber movie about abuse so it isn't quite what you might want in a Stephen King film.
Cat's Eye is a trilogy of stories with dark humor and suspense. I think it is one of the quintesential 80s films and you can detect King's brand of humor and style throughout. It is a real gem.
Creepshow seemed like five stories that kept hitting the same note. It has campy acting and the stories pretty much end the same: with a dead guy coming back for revenge or someone dying a gruesome death. Often both. But I can see how it might be an enjoyable cult film for some. March 31, 2008

A real five star bargain.

I'm liking these four-in-one packages Warner Bros. has been doing. And for such a price! With the amount Amazon is charging for this DVD set, you get each movie for under three bucks each. Not a bad deal at all.

I actually bought this for Creepshow and Cat's Eye, two movies that used to freak me out as a kid, but I loved nonetheless. The roach story in Creepshow still manages to make my skin crawl; the troll's scary factor in Cat's Eye has lost a little of it's impact over time, but the record player scene still makes me chuckle. Awesome movies, people. George Romero's most entertaining film outside of his Dead series (arguably) and Drew Barrymore being adorable. What's not to love? 80's genre classics.

I haven't watched Dolores Claiborne or Dreamcatcher yet, but I skimmed through them a bit for the purpose of this review. Thankfully, as advertised, all the movies in this collection are in anamorphic widescreen (as opposed to the last of these collections I bought, which featured Copycat in 4:3 full frame, despite what the case said). Each movie has the same special features as their single-disc counterparts. This keepcase collection contains two double-sided discs (one movie for each side). March 1, 2008

four treats in one

a great treat for a winter or rainy afternoon, even if you are not a die hard SK fan but love horror you will enjoy these four films. The first one I ordered froze in the middle of a movie and when I contacted Amazon they had a replacement to me the following day! December 8, 2007
