Great deal, Mar 2 2011
By gooniemcfly - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Leviathan & Burnt Offering & Lifeforce (DVD)
This is another triple feature that is an excellent buy. Going for $6.95 at this current date you get three really good horror movies. First you get Leviathan which is a creature feature. Next up is Burnt Offerings which is one of the better haunted house movies. Lastly you also get Lifeforce which is a space vampire movie. I bought this set for Leviathan because it was a cheaper price than the single dvd for it. What I ended up getting is Leviathan plus two other bonus features which I didn't have. All movies are presented in the widescreen format. Leviathan is anamorphic 2.35:1. Burnt Offerings is anamorphic 1.85:1. Lifeforce is Letterboxed 2.35:1. This means Lifeforce is not anamorphic widescreen and will have the large bars on the top and bottom of your screen. Leviathan and Burnt Offerings are together on one disc. The second disc contains Lifeforce by itself. There are no special features for any of the movies unlike on the single disc versions. Leviathan was a bare bones disc to begin with. Burnt Offerings came with a director and star audio commentary which this set does not contain. Lifeforce doesn't have the additional 15 minutes of footage that was not shown in theatres like the single retail disc has. So overall you are getting no special features with this triple feature but you are getting a great price on this set. The picture on all three movies is excellent.

don't get rid of your single disc edition of Lifeforce, Oct 23 2011

This review is from: Leviathan & Burnt Offering & Lifeforce (DVD)
Just picked up this triple feature because I wanted Burnt Offerings, and for the price, I figured I might as well get more bang for my buck. I already had Lifeforce in a single disc edition, so my thought was that I could get rid of it after getting this. For starters, Lifeforce is in need of an anamorphic transfer (maybe the blu ray will get released?), but here, you get the same letterboxed print as on the single disc. HOWEVER, the big difference is, on the single disc version of Lifeforce, the audio is in 5.1 surround--on this triple feature, it's only 2.0 stereo!!! Bummer.

Horror Movies on a Budget DVD Set, Feb 9 2012

This review is from: Leviathan & Burnt Offering & Lifeforce (DVD)
This budget DVD set contains three horror movies on 2 DVD's. There are no extra features and no chapter indexes. The movies play as soon as you press the icon labeled "play". Still, you get three decent horror movies for less than $10.Leviathan(1989): This sci-fi-horror "popcorn" film is an homage to Alien(1979) and The Thing(1982). It's directed by the late George P. Cosmatos(Rambo First Blood Part II, Tombstone). It stars Peter Weller, Daniel Stern, Amanda Pays, Richard Crenna, Ernie Hudson, Lisa Eilbacher, and others. Three underwater mining crew members in the not-too-distant future are poisoned after drinking contaminated vodka found on a derelict Russian boat. Their body parts morph into a slimy, lethal monster. This film uses blue lighting and fake fish to simulate an environment under the ocean. It also recycles costumes from 2010(1984).
I used to watch Leviathan on the Sci-Fi/SyFy Channel in the 1990's. The music score by Jerry Goldsmith is good. Leviathan is a well-made popcorn movie from the late 1980's.
Lifeforce(1985): Lifeforce was a critical and commercial failure in 1985. Tri-Star Pictures recut, rescored and re-edited the US version of the film. This DVD preserves the UK version of the film. In Lifeforce, three space vampires make it to Earth and prey on humans. Instead of sucking blood, they suck your "elan vital/lifeforce". A British officer(Peter Firth) and an American astronaut(Steve Railsback) race against time to save the Earth. A young Patrick Stewart played Doctor Armstrong.
French model/singer/actress Mathilda May played the film's sexy antagonist. Tobe Hooper directed the film from a screenplay by Dan O' Bannon and Don Jakoby. The film was based on the 1976 novel The Space Vampires by Colin Wilson. Time has been kind to Lifeforce. Species(1995) and Star Trek have borrowed ideas from the film. John Dykstra crafted the film's 1st rate visual effects. The late Henry Mancini composed Lifeforce's epic, energetic, sweeping music score. Some music cues in the US version were composed by the late Michael Kamen.
Burnt Offerings(1976): A house rejuvenates itself after killing people off.
This budget DVD is worth the money.
