In this edition of Cinema Head Cheese’s Movie Burrito, we tackle a wide variety of cinematic gems (okay, maybe not all gems). Here’s a look at a couple releases from Tartan/Palisades, Troma Films, MVD Visual, Synapse Films and Cheezy Flicks.
First off, we have Cheezy Flick’s seven disc box-set of cult film trailers entitled
Cheezy Trailer Extravaganza Box-Set. Each disc on this set contains various examples genre in short doses. Many of these trailers you may have already seen on other trailer compilations:
Future World, The Giant Spider Invasion, Satan in High Heels, I Passed For White, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Day of The Animals, The Sinful Dwarf, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, The Green Slime and the gender-bending classic,
Let Me Die a Woman.

The good thing about this set is the sheer amount of content ( over seven hours) but the bad.. as you may expect from viewing previous Cheezy Flicks compilations, is the poor quality. I found many of the older black and white films to look the best picture and sound wise. Some of the worst image wise were the 70s biker trailers. These are especially awful, sporting almost an orange picture throughout. We do also get several repeats; most noticeably
The Abominable Dr. Phibes. It’s an amazing film, I understand that, and love Vincent Price..But three times?
