Reviews
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
tequila101 When I was a kid, I saw this in the video store every time wondering what the hell this was about. I used to think that it would be all about these icons fighting each other and then only one surviving. Boy, I was wrong about that. Instead it turns out to be a compilation of 17 famous slashers, hackers, etc (do I need to say more!?).When I picked it up last year, I thought well it's a compilation and it's gonna suck! Once again, I was freakin wrong! All I'm going to say is when I watched this DVD, it inspired me to watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Leprechaun, Halloween, The Dentist, Psycho, Hellrasier, Wishmaster, Scream & I Know what you did Last Summer. For me it was really inspiring because I had never heard nor never seen most of them before.It was at that stage where I only liked Chucky, Freddy & Jason and I never really wanted anything else to do with Horror. These days, it's now changed. I'm really glad I watched this, and now own the DVD because now I can remember all of the good times watching Leatherface or Michael Myers in action on the screen for the first time.I will have to admit that some of those other characters didn't look that interesting but oh well.I will say that if you haven't seen this yet, you should definitely go to your video store right now and borrow it and if you can ever buy it for under $6.00, I suggest you swipe it. It inspires you to watch Icons that you've never seen before on the screen. I loved it because it inspired me to get into horror more.One more thing, the bonus features are fun and you might want to give that a try as well as some trailers that you might not have seen.7/10
matthew0083-1 I got this DVD in a Wal-Mart super pack when I bought Land of the Dead. It's a hour long DVD with clips of a bunch of both recent and older horror films. In my opinion this isn't too bad and it actually convinced me to get some of these films. The way they do each of the clips is well done. Personally I say if you see this DVD for like $10 I say go for it. It's not worth anymore than that. The DVD extras are also to be admired to some degree. It's not worth the value of a full retail DVD but it's still fun to watch. When I have nothing to do or anything to watch I usually put this in. So in conclusion, you want a new DVD but you only want to pay $10 or less for it I say pick this up.
duce122 Boogeymen: The Killer Compilation (2001) C-56 min. Well-made compilation of some of the most frightening movie slashers of our time. From Michael Myers, Jason Vorhees, and Freddy Krueger to Pinhead, Chucky, and Leatherface, this serves as a supplement to any horror/slasher fan's video collection. Unfortunately, some of the scenes they chose were not the best (there were far bloodier and scarier scenes in the Friday the 13th series than the one they chose from JASON GOES TO HELL) and they left out a few of the classic slashers (Santa Claus killer from SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT, Jack Frost, the Thomas Sinclair/Bryan Lawson brother/killer duo from the GLENVILLE films, the URBAN LEGEND killers, etc). But the `film' is more than adequate and provided me with a list of horror movies on my `must-see' list. Commentary on the DVD edition is done by none other than Robert Englund. RATING: 6 out of 10.
mattymatt4ever At only an hour, this isn't the best compilation DVD they could possibly come up with, but I liked it a lot. I've been a little out of touch with horror movies recently, so it was nice to watch clips from all these famous horror movies to get me back on the ball. There are some very gruesome clips, some are downright sickening, but that's the fun of it. I loved the Robert Englund commentary--he had some very interesting things to say, and seemed to be at least somewhat oriented with every horror director, writer and actor featured. Plus, he has a fine sense of humor. The easter egg was really nice. I haven't seen "Jack Frost," and am only familiar with it through the trailer. It seems like a really cheesy flick, but boy does that babe look great naked. You can't have a cheesy horror flick without a lil' bit of gratuitous nudity, that's my motto. My impression after the clips were over was, "That's it?" But hopefully, they'll sooner or later come up with a "Boogeymen 2" DVD. If they do, I really look forward to it. And I love the song "I'm Your Boogeyman" by Rob Zombie (back then, White Zombie), which was featured in the opening and closing credits. Horror fans will probably love it. Others will be genuinely disgusted and will probably wanna stay away. Not for the squeamish or faint of heart. My score: 7 (out of 10)
