I had one clerk finally ring up the six plus a 2nd "Gravedancers", giving me the 7 for $60 price (it came up automaticly, it doesn't mater if some titles are the same, you could ring up all 7 the same). She told me to bring the unopened duplicate back to the store with reciept and exchange it when the get more in stock. It was a bit of a pain but realisticly by the time I get to watching all 7 I'm sure I'll have it.

I'm only sort of interested in these.
I have a feeling these will be available at bargain prices (~$5) before too long, so I think I'll wait them out.

Hooray! A good experience at Best Buy (although, damn it they should have ordered enough in the first place).

Bloody-Disgusting said that "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning" was something like "the most shocking horror film they'd ever seen...too gruesome".
Then I watched the film and laughed at how they must be little girls. The movie was a joke.

I agree, as a horror fan I tend not to listen to mainstream reviewers like on RT. My favorite is Bloody-disgusting.com, especially now that the got rid of the "talk back" portion of the reviews.

I like Dread Central myself. Both Dread Central and Bloody Disgusting were right on with their Hills Have Eyes 2 reviews. What went wrong their.
Watching Gravedancers was a lot more fun.

Yeah, real shocker. Just so you know, the "After Dark" company is run by a guy named Courtney Solomon, the GENIUS director behind "Dungeons & Dragons" and "An American Haunting". Yeah.

I originally wanted to use my Best Buy Rewards certificates on all 7, but my store didn't have them, so I bought something else.
Turns out, my roommate had some Best Buy Rewards certificates that he said he'll never use ($35 worth), so he let me have them. Went to a farther Best Buy today and they had all seven. So I got all 7 for $29.85
I couldn't resist.

Don't get me wrong, both could have been improved by a slightly higher budget ("creature effects" mainly), but I'm glad I picked them up.
Now... on to "Dark Ride"
BTW if you want to know what I consider good "direct to video" horror (part of the 10%) Rest Stop and Sublime (both from Raw Feed) were two recent suprising little gems.

I liked both quite a bit, maybe because my expectations were so low.

Honestly had BB not offered the 7 for $60, I would have only gotten 4 (which was $60).
The reason my expectations were so low was that every movie was being totaly slamed by someone.

People seem to be really split on these discs. I, for one, enjoyed most of them. Even if it was only bits and pieces of each title.
