Disc 1:
Flu Birds A tight-knit group of teens find themselves fighting for their lives when unexpected visitors — a flock of flesh-eating birds infected by a malicious virus — crash their carefree camping trip in the woods. Can a shrinking group of survivors fight back and reclaim the skies? **
Monster Wolf A creature of ancient legend manifests, bound to protect the ecological balance of the land and killing anyone that threatens it. This elusive guardian is initially both feared and celebrated by the locals, but when a deadly curse affects them all, they must unite and recapture the monster wolf’s spirit or face their ultimate doom. **
Disc Two:
Headless Horseman College friends en route to a party find themselves stuck in the middle of nowhere when they take a wrong turn and land in the uncharted town of Wormwood. As if that weren’t weird enough, they’re also being chased by a killer who’s lost his head. **
WolvesBayne An arrogant real estate developer, Russell Bayne (Jeremy London of 7th Heaven, Party of Five, Mallrats), is bitten by a werewolf and finds himself mixed up in a supernatural war between vampires, werewolves, and humans that hunt down such creatures that threaten mankind. In masterful swordfights and bullet-spraying gun battles, they must fight the evil vampire clan to assemble several magical amulets that will stop Lilith’s rise to power and put her away for eternity. **
Now none of these films in this collection are classics. In fact these are more the campy style horror films that many film fans just such a kick out of. There are some great actors, including; Ricard Moll, Jeremy London, Marc Dacoscos and others. It is good to note that some of these films contain Violence, gore and profanity. So you need to screen these if you plan on doing a movie night with younger viewers.
All four films are on two DVD discs. The films are presented in widescreen format and in 1.78:1 aspect ratio. The audio is in Dolby digital 5.1. There is also English subtitles for both films. This is great bonus feature for the deaf and hard of hearing. Now with two films on one disc, you might think the films would suffer, but the film shows little to no signs of digital artifacts.
As for the DVD packaging itself. The two DVD discs are in a eco friendly case. Each Disc has it's own DVD hub which is nice no stacking here! Which will make many DVD collectors happy!
