Sci-Fi Horror Month continues! Today we take a look at the DVD for Creepozoids from Full Moon Features. Make sure to also check out our written review of Creepozoids right here on A Slice of Horror. The best thing about the Creepshow 3 DVD is the beautiful artwork that is on the cover of the case. The dripping red title accompanied by the sepia toned picture give the whole thing a creepy and entertaining atmosphere. The reflective coat over the whole case makes for an attractive addition to the horror movie shelf, which is where it belongs and stays. It's a shame that the content of the film doesn't live up to the lively and creepy DVD art. The back of the case clues us in on the disappointment the content will be. With generic and boring pictures and the false advertisement of, "The most fun you'll have being scared!" we soon see that the DVD content itself is less than desired. The plastic case itself is made of sturdy, heavy-duty, materials and seems wasted on such a horrid movie when some of the best films out there get stuck with cheap and "recyclable" materials. The disc art is pretty, being the same as on the front of case. There is no paper inserts or advertisements inside which isn't much of a disappointment.
Besides the movie itself the DVD has only one special feature: a behind the scenes featurette about the special effects and production. It is a measly little documentary interviewing amateur actors and directors. It becomes even more apparent in the featurette that the film is indeed low budget and the bad writing and production quality are no surprise. So many low budget films do so well on so little, but this one ends up on a Walgreens DVD for a mere $1.50. I wonder if the DVD is even worth that much. At least the case is shinny on my shelf. |
