This explosive release for fans of grindhouse cinema offers a double feature of Lurkers and Die Sister, Die!, two wild and exploitive thrillers full of beautiful women and over the top violence and gore.

Two Cult Movies For The Price Of One

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this DVD double feature mainly to have a better print of Die Sister,Die! I assumed that both movies were hosted by Katarina Leigh Waters in a play Katarina's Nightmare Theater Host option. Only The Lurkers has the Katarina host option. Die,Sister Die! has no host option,so unfortunately you only get to hear Katarina give trivia on the first film(The Lurkers) since that's the only movie she hosts on this dvd. In fact I had heard Scorpion was ending this line of dvds,so that might explain why she only hosts the first movie. Aside from that you get two cult horror movies for the price of one and get a fair amount of extras(Original Trailers for Both films,trailers for other Scorpion Releasing titles, option of watching The Lurkers w/ the Katarina hosting bits or w/o them,and isolated musical scores for both movies). Then these are both restored to beautiful anamorphic widescreen transfers. Die,Sister Die! had previously been available as a public domain title in a full frame transfer only while The Lurkers had been out with the other Crown International titles,but in a less than stellar transfer. Now both movies are looking stellar in widescreen and are remastered from the original film elements! Also I should point out even though the features themselves are both listed as running 85 minutes a piece,The Lurkers is actually 94 minutes long. The running time on the back of the case and listed elsewhere as 85 minutes is a typo!
My Best Buy number: 2683622692

What's great about it: Two Cult Horror Movies Restored To Beautiful Widescreen Transfers
What's not so great: Both Movies Are Listed As Having The Katarina Nightmare Theater Host Option. Only The Lurkers has the host option.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great DVD For Cult/Horror Movie Fan
on December 29, 2013

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an interesting little cult horror movie, in a beautiful widescreen print, with a great cast of actors! I was happy to see the original trailer was included as well as the original trailers for other movies hosted in the Katarina's Nightmare Theater DVD line. However while this DVD has a great set of extras and a great movie with actors who can actual act, there are no type of scene selection menus for the feature or for the trailers other than the trailer for the main feature. Not having scene selection menus makes it hard to navigate through the DVD's main feature as well as the set of trailers. Also it's great there's reversible dvd cover art,but only the cover art on the back of the case changes when flipped over. The front cover art is identical on both sides! Aside from these two minor flaws it was decently priced. Also this DVD has a great set of extras(some of which were unexpected aside from the two I knew I was getting: the audio commentary and the Katarina Nightmare Theater host bit option of watching the movie hosted by Katarina Leigh Waters).
