Space-- the alien frontier

(3 out of 5 stars)

"The ALIEN WORLDS 20 Movie Pack is a unique mix of the many public domain sci-fi films available from MILL CREEK ENTERTAINMENT. These 1950's U.S. sci-fi, and later Japanese rocketship/monster flicks and Euro space stories are all are 'B' grade (if not lower). Also included are five episodes of a '50s kid's TV show combined into two feature films ("Rocky Jones") and a whittled-down 1930's Buster Crabbe serial ("Buck Rogers").

MILL CREEK box sets offer good-to-average-quality audio and video transfers of public domain material at a most reasonable price.

For an instant (and gargantuan) sci-fi/fantasy, action/adventure and fright film library, all you need is the HORROR 250 Movie Pack. In this one deluxe foil-covered box are several months of viewing for fans of these genres.
