I have all 3, but have only watched Deranged so far. Great movie, an interesting take on the true life story that also inspired Psycho and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Generally, all the Midnite Movies are worth owning if you like the genre. I've yet to see one with poor audio or video. For $9.99 for 2 movies, the double feature discs are definitely worth picking up, IMHO!

I own The Masque of the red Death/ Premature Burial, Attic/Crawlspace, and Motel Hell/ Deranged. The first disc has good anamorphic transfers and interviews with Roger Corman. If you like Klaus Kinski, he gives a very good performance in Crawlspace, which also sports a nice anamorphic transfer.

I Haven't seen The Attic or the last disc yet, though I've seen Deranged before and it's a very good movie that in addtion to Psycho and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, also inspired The Silence of the Lambs.

cheers, Tony Block

It's hard to go wrong with any of MGM's Midnite Movies. I'm not crazy about the double-featuring of flicks in lieu of actual bonus material. Especially in the case of Motel Hell. Still it's hard to muster much venom when they're only $10.

Here's my review of Motell Hell/Deranged
