Monster Madness Collection (Lost Continent / The Giant Gila Monster / She Demons / Monster From Green Hell)

Monster Madness Collection (Lost Continent / The Giant Gila Monster / She Demons / Monster From Green Hell) Review



These titles are the same masters and DVD that the single Image Intertainment disks are. The quality is fair to good. They are probly the best that are available. The
Giant Gila Monster is the original theatrical aspect ratio 1:85.1, the rest are 1.33.1, Not the Originals. Monster from Green Hell in its theatrical relase was in color for the Finale of the Film, this copy is not.However, for the price this set is worth it over the prices of the single movies. But these are not new masters
but the same as the original singles from the original Image entertainment release. My only gripe is they all should be in the original aspect ratio of 1.85.1. Now
that Widscreen TV's are becoming the norm what's the sense of cropping the movies to full screen. Also the Giant Gila Monster is available from Legend Films in a
supposedly restored version in Color and the original Monochrome, but it is Full Screen Only. It is a sharper clearer copy but the dirt, splices and defects are still
there. It’s an Atomic Age attack when modern science breeds rampaging beasts bent on wiping out mankind! First, a military expedition goes searching for a missing rocket and stumbles onto the LOST CONTINENT, a strange world filled with towering dinosaurs! Then the teens in Lover’s Lane better watch out when THE GIANT GILA MONSTER decides to snack on rock ‘n’ rolling, hot-rodding high school students in a small, sleepy town. Then an island populated by SHE DEMONS is just the start of a wild adventure packed with hurricanes, dancing native girls, Nazis, mad scientists, weird surgical experiments and an erupting volcano! Finally, a crashed rocket unleashes hordes of radioactive wasps who breed the MONSTER FROM GREEN HELLl a hulking mutation as big as a house.
