Is it worth it Wednesdays:The Midnight Horror Collection volume 4

Media-DVD
Title-The Midnight Horror Collection volume 4
Company-Echo Bridge Home Entertainment
 Price-$5



 The Last Vampire on Earth-This is a really low budget,horribly acted Twilight ripoff. Not even worth watching for "So bad it's good" appeal.
Night Shadow-Well the last film was a low budget Twilight ripoff,this one is a low budget Howling ripoff. But at least the acting was better than the last film. But still it isn't worth watching.
Kraken:Tentacles of the Deep-This film obviously has a higher budget than the last two. Cause this one has two "names" in the cast. If you count Jerry O'Connell's little brother Charlie as a name. And Victoria Pratt,who has never been a big star.This movie feels like one of those Syfy Channel originals. And if you like those you will enjoy this. It isn't horrible. But I doubt I ever watch it again.
Bloodlock-This feels like a low budget horror film mixed with a Lifetime Original movie. We get a wife and husband that buy a new house. The wife invites her sister to come live with them. Not knowing the husband is banging the sister.And the husband is only staying with the wife for her money. This film is a great example of one where the poster is 100 times better than the film.
Blood Red Moon-Hey look another low budget Twilight ripoff.This one is slightly better than The Last Vampire on Earth. But that is like saying getting shit on one shoe is better than getting shit on both shoes.Either way you got shit on you.
Howling IV:the original Nightmare-This is the reason I bought this pack. I saw Howling IV years back late one night on Showtime and remember enjoying it. Re-watching it now it isn't as good as I remembered. But is still the best film on this pack. It has decent transformation FX work. And the acting isn't that bad. If you like werewolf films and are looking for one to watch you haven't seen give Howling IV a shot.
Raging Sharks-Like Kraken this film has two "names" in it. First you got Corin Nemec aka Parker Lewis. And then there is Vanessa Angel. Who I will always remember from the Weird Science TV show. Also like Kraken I bet this is another Syfy Original film. I have never been a fan of shark films. Even Jaws,which it seems everyone loves,is a film that I don't really care for.
Vampegeddon-This is a film that would be perfect for MST3K. First you got teenagers who look to be in their late 20s/early 30s. One of them looks like she has a wooden tooth. The entire film feels like it was dubbed in post production. Which is strange because from reading the actors lips they are all speaking English. And all the vampires have super obvious bald caps on. You know a multipack set sucks ass when something like this is the second best film on the set.

So was it worth it?-Unless you have to own Howling 4. Want to see some of the worst Twilight ripoffs ever. Love Syfy original movies about killer sea creatures. Or if you must see one of the worst vampire movies I have ever seen. I would say skip this one. It is not worth the $5 it cost.
