Customer Ratings & Reviews

anyone that loves classic monster movies and fun monster movies should buy this disc. It's four movies, one great one (MOTHRA) two really good ones and THE GIANT CLAW, which is great for a bunch of other reasons. It's too bad no trailers were included, but for $5 one really can't go wrong with this set.

Already having owned 3 of the 4 titles on this set, it is well worth the cheap bargain bin price (normally 5 bucks) to pick this up and add it to your collection if you are a monster movie buff that doesn't already own them, or if you really don't want to shell out the additional $8 - $17 for a new single high-def copy of each individual version. Both "It Came From Beneath the Sea" and "20 Million Miles to Earth" are classic Ray Harryhausen staples that are already featured in an actual collector's DVD set, or can be purchased separately as well -- and contain numerous special features unlike the 2 versions included here. The inclusion of these two movies alone are easily worth the $5 its being sold for, in my honest opinion, let alone getting two more monster movies in the set. Ray Harryhausen was known for his splendid stop-motion animation sequences, and both of these films display his talent wonderfully. As for the other two movies, "The Giant Claw" is one of the "so bad, its good" big-bug/creature features of the early era, as the titular character is such a poorly conceived and terribly designed monstrosity. Its quite funny seeing the seriousness of the human characters acting alongside the screen shots of this unbelievably god-ugly turkey "flying" in the air. Overall, I didn't care much for this movie, and it just as easily could have been replaced with something far much better. "Mothra" on the other hand, is a legendary Toho Pictures film akin to Godzilla movies, but it is a bit awkward including this within the current set being that the other 3 movies are all American produced features and were filmed in B&W. Still, it remains very much a welcome addition to this collection as it is such a magnificent movie itself, done with creative style and taste. I only wished that the set could have included another Toho film instead of the aforementioned "Giant Claw", such as "War of the Gargantuas" or "King Kong vs. Godzilla" as it would have made the set far more enticing to purchase. But the movie I would have clamored most to see in place of "The Giant Claw" in this collection would have been either "Varan the Unbelievable" or "Gigantis the Fire Monster" (aka "Godzilla Raids Again") since both of these were also in B&W. Outside this little rant of mine, the 4 movies included make a neat little collection to own and are each, in themselves, fairly entertaining movie fare especially if you enjoy old classic monster movies. My biggest gripe would be that there is only a single disc with all 4 features compressed onto it, so that means no special features, subtitles, scene selections, movie trailers or anything else significant at all, with exception of the main menu screen that simply allows you to play the movie of your choice. Still, not bad for $5 if you don't own any of these films yet, or if you got kids that really like watching older monster flicks on TV. 4 stars out of 5

Primarily bought it for 20 Million Miles to Earth so the other three are just a bonus. I’m a big fan of 50’s sci if so this was a great deal. It would have been better if all movies were not on just one disc.

I bought this for 3 reasons. 1) I am a movie buff. 2) Even though I had the 2 Ray Harryhousen classics, I didn't have The Giant Claw & Mothera classics. & 3) Mill Creek Entertainment is great! With that being said, this is really a bargin base price for 4 excellent "Classic" movies in one set. One will LOVE this all the way around

This was a gift for a friend. She watched it. Older prints on all the films but very good quality on all 4 movies. She enjoyed them all but the one she had never seen before was and relly enjoyed was 20 Million Miles to Earth!

Fans of classic-creature films should enjoy this release. The films: "20 Million Miles to Earth: (1957); "The Giant Claw" (1957);"It Came From Beneath the Sea" (1955); and "Mother" (1961).

Love these old movies, brings back great memories when we were young. Just popped some fresh Popcorn and now I am ready to enjoy the movies.

Bought this for "20 million miles to earth", but the additional movies are a plus! although Mothra was a weird addition to the fray lol.
