Don't Waste Your Money
Was taken in by the "Cover Art."

These fims are just bad.

My favorite surprise in the set is...
... in MALIBU HIGH:
Throughout the film they've used the SCTV "commercial break" synthesizer cue. Unmistakable!

Cult Classics? No. Entertaining? YES!
As others have stated, there is nothing "classic" or "cult" about these movies since it's unlikely that anyone remembers even seeing them. But for the price, this 8 movie set really delivers the goods with movies typical of drive-ins and second run movie theaters.

Pickup - Two girls get picked up by a guy driving a mobile home type bus. After that things get really weird and your guess is as good as mine as to what the plot is. Both girls take their clothes off during the film so it's not a total loss. Very trippy.
The Sister in Law - Tries really hard to be serious. It goes from a drama about a guy and his affair with his brother's wife to a crime drama about drug running. Again, only the nudity keeps this from being a total bore.

The Teacher - A step up from the previous two if only for the appearance of the drop dead gorgeous Angel Tompkins who plays the titular Teacher. The story is about the unlikely seduction of a student by his Teacher, though no scenes are ever in the school itself. The student, who is a total idiot, spurns the advances of this smoking hot woman several times because he has to "work in his van"! Sheesh!

Trip With the Teacher - The most violent one of the bunch. A group of female students and their teacher who are on a field trip get terrorized by a couple of deranged bikers. The poster of this film is the one used for the cover of the DVD box.

Best Friends - A road trip movie about two friends back from the war with different ideas as to what their lives should be. Things get messy when one of the friends lusts after the other's girl. Richard Hatch (Battlestar Galactica) stars in this one. Pretty Good.

The Stepmother - The title is misleading since the plot really doesn't revolve around the Stepmother in question but rather around a man who is trying to cover up two murders he committed, one out of a jelous rage and another accidental. A decent crime drama with some nudity to spice things up.

Malibu High - The gem of this set. This one is worth the price of admission alone. An attractive high school student goes from bad to worse as she first begins seducing her teacher for better grades, then turns to prostitution to have easy money and then ends up an assassin for the mob! Great stuff.

Cindy and Donna - All the movies feature nudity but this one excels in that department. Lots of skin around a bare bones plot of two sisters experimenting with sex and drugs. A highlight is a dance routine in a bar by a topless babe who has the best body in the entire 8 movie set.

do to the dentist, it will be less painful
i now have ordered and seen 8 mill creek type movie packs and have been fairly happy with them. we have a very high tolerance for the less-than-desirable movies....

but these were pure agony, fast forwarded thru much as it is sooo inane, the dialog is juvinile at best, the theme as well, the actors certainly never made it even in a high school drama production.

more often than not, when on some dialog jag, it goes on endlessly...you can fast forward and when back they are still yakking over the same issue...

the only good thing would be if actually in a drive-in movie and making out these films would not distract you.

Dont spend too much on this
While this set is not terrible, it's not too great either. Dont spend a lot. The movies range from quirky/weird in a good way to torturous attempts at drama. I'm not too sure about the "cult classic" status of these flicks either, theyre prettty much just 70's grind house B movies.

The presentations arent the worst I've seen and in some cases pretty good. Most are in widescreen, so that helps.

Like I said; dont spend too much on this and you should be satisfied...
