Horror Collector's Set (Bloody Mary / Mortuary / Memory / Salvage)

Buy It for "Salvage"
Buy this double-sided DVD because it is cheap and because it has the movie "Salvage".

The DVD has no commentary tracks or special features, but it does contain four movies:

* "Bloody Mary" is a passable film with a standard plotline and predictable characters. No surprises. 2 stars.
* "Memory" or "Mem-(o)-re" is less predictable than "Bloody Mary". Good actors and effects, a few twists in the tale. 3 stars.
* "Mortuary" is more predictable than "Bloody Mary" and is a bog-standard, low-budget film. Tame with little gore. 2 stars.
* "Salvage" is creepy, moody, and has some squirm-in-your-seat moments. It moves along in an almost predictable way until the last few minutes of the film. Outstanding. 5 stars.

Honestly, you may wish to purchase a single DVD of "Salvage" that has a commentary track and other special features. However, this bare-bones DVD collection gets 5 stars for value, most of that because of "Salvage".

Nice little collection
All four of these films are well made and at least watchable, and I particularly liked "Salvage", which is quite an original film. "Mortuary" was pretty lame, but "Memory" was good and "Bloody Mary" might be worth watching just for the high T&A count.

Mediocre
I have the Horror Collector's Set (4 films) that includes Bloody Mary, Mortuary, Memory, and Wages Of Sin. The set I'm reviewing here does not have Wages Of Sin, instead it has Salvage. I couldn't find the set I own here on Amazon, so I'll review this set that includes Bloody Mary, Mortuary, Memory, and Salvage.

These are low budget B horror movies. Some are awful, some are mediocre, some are pretty good. I'll do a breakdown:

Salvage - I haven't seen this, as it's not on my 4 movie DVD set
Mortuary - *** stars
Memory - **** stars
Bloody Mary - ** stars

The best movie is Memory, which stars Billy Zane (of "Titanic" fame), Ann-Margret, Dennis Hopper, and Tricia Helfer.

If you're a fan of B and independent horror movies, you might want to give this set a shot.
