"SLASHER CINEMA 4 Movie Pack features many well-known actors in the three 1970s titles here.
CONTENTS:
CRAZE-- Solid cast in this British-made chiller. An idol-worshipping antiques dealer goes off the deep end and starts sacrificing humans to "Chuku Mottram."
THE DEMON-- A string of motiveless and gruesome murders by a person unknown adds to the terror of potential victims targeted for the kill.
THE GLOVE-- Bounty hunter goes up against his most dangerous foe: a very big and violent man who kills with an equally large armor-plated police riot glove. Another strong cast here.
MEMORIAL VALLEY MURDERS-- Homicidal axeman sets his sights on holiday campers. Stars longtime TV actor John Kerry (no, not the politician!)
PSYCHOS is a similarly-themed 4 movie set from BCI / Eclipse.
BRENTWOOD's 4-fers are nicely priced movie bundles. Video and sound quality of these digitally unrestored public domain films is generally fine. Discs are dual-side recorded.

"Copy I received does not include "The Glove", but has the classic and laughably awful "Pieces" instead. The sound in "Craze" is inaudible."
