Mill Creek Entertainment has tabbed June 9 as the street
date for a priced-to-collect double-disc DVD collection of ten chillers. Ten nights of terror will be unleashed with 10
Frightening Films: A Deadly Place … and get this, Mill Creek is
including Digital Copy for the entire set!!
So let’s dig into this vault of terror for the film
selections that will give you nightmares and goose bumps.
First up is writer/director Murray Mintz’s 1980 serial
killer tale, Cardiac Arrest. Detective
Harry Callahan, aka: “Dirty Harry,” had his problems in San Francisco in 1971
with the “Scorpio Killer.” It is now
almost a decade later and detective Clancy Higgins (Garry Goodrow) has a new case
to crack involving yet another serial killer stalking the streets of San
Francisco, the “Missing Heart Murders.”
It seems that some crazed maniac is skillfully cutting out
the hearts of his (or is it her) victims?
Whose next!?
Don’t like the big cities all that nastiness, no
problem. Also in the collection is
director William Girdler’s 1977 film release, Day of the Animals,
starring the husband/wife team of Christopher George and Lynda Day George, plus
Leslie Nielsen, Richard Jaeckel, Michael Ansara and Ruth Roman.
This early climate change thriller has a dozen hikers coming
face to face with crazed wild animals who are being driven mad by a depletion
in the Earth’s ozone layer. Run, growl,
run, munch, run, munch, munch, munch … the animals fight back!!
The cities aren’t safe and neither is a hike in the
woods. Now what? How about writer/director Paul Matthews’ 1996
“spelunker” horror tale, Grim, which features a group of
cave-exploring enthusiasts (aka: “victim pool”) coming face to face with a
creature that can literally pass through solid rock. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide … get out of
this subterranean hell or die!!
In
this Mill Creek Entertainment movie ten-pack terror lurks in the cities, in the
peaceful countryside and even underground.
There are no safe places, so grab the popcorn and enjoy Cardiac
Arrest, Day of the Animals and Grim, plus such terror treats as
director Mark Byers’ 1989 giant rat thriller, Tunnels, writer/director
Dave Parker’s haunted hospital horror tale, The Dead Hate the Living
and who can say no to the 1980 horror classic from filmmaker Joseph Ellison, Don’t
Go in the House … if Donny (Dan Grimaldi — as Patsy in The
Sopranos television series) invites you over, just say no, no, no
(otherwise he has a special basement torture room waiting for you).
Rounding out the collection are writer/director Paul
Matthew’s 1997 sci-fi thriller, Deadly Instincts, the 1991 anthology
release of With Friends Like These, director Michel Wachniuc’s nut-house
tale, You’re Driving Me Crazy and director Richard Elfman’s voodoo
horror story, Shrunken Heads.
