Drive-In Delirium: Dead By Dawn

One to add to the collection

Very impressed with this collection. Umbrella has inproved their 35mm transfer technology and have a great line-up for this release. I have 11 other trailer compilations and most of these trailers weren't featured on other sets. The first 3 Drive-In Delirium's are good but there's a lot of pixelated color banding and about 60-80% of the trailers are on the 4K Trailer Trauma series. This set still doesn't look as good as Trailer Trauma, but it's drastically better than the other 3. The one benefit Drive-In has over TT is that the film prints are often in better condition, a trend which still continues.Overall, if you are a trailer collector like me, it's a no brainer to get this. And if you don't know which Drive- In Delirium to buy first, I suggest starting with this. It's finally on par with Trailer Trauma.

The bulk of the trailers are for especially atrocious films (and not the good kind of atrocious). It's just one screaming woman after another. A lot of the trailers run together since they all look and sound the same. The monotony is broken up by some run-of-the-mill trailers - like Night of the Living Dead, Psycho, Jaws 2, and a typical selection of William Castle and Hammer horror films.If you love trailer collections and/or the other Delirium discs, then this one is a must have. Like all of the Delirium collections, the video quality is excellent. And what's not to like about 7+ hours of trailers?

If you love all movie styles and genres this collection of trailers is for you. This is a wild fun ride. From classic movies all the way to schlock and everything in between. No matter how many films you’ve seen you’ll find trailers for films you’ve never knew existed.

I have almost all of these released by Umbrella Entertainment. If you love movie previews as much as I do, you'll love this set. They all have hours of trailers and they all are in great condition, especially for the age of some of them. Check out all of these in the series and you will have hours and hours of endless entertainment. Be aware that some of these trailers contain nudity and violent scenes. You will also probably want a pen and paper because you'll probably find some that you have never seen or heard of before. Make some popcorn and enjoy.

This is a great collection of movie trailers, both mainstream and obscure. The timeline roughly spans from the 50's to the 80's, and most of them are in color. The image quality is excellent and the sound is superb. Umbrella Entertainment put together a fantastic product. (FYI, fans of this Blu Ray might want to check out the Trailer Trauma series by Garagehouse Pictures.)

I've collected all of Drive-In Delirium's releases. Warning, it will become an addiction.

So what’s in this blockbuster assortment of wild, outrageous, and memorable theatrical trailers? Umbrella has divided Dead by Dawn into two sections, The Final Chapter and A New Beginning. The Final Chapter houses 76 trailers, with the focus on horror, sci/fi, and monster movies, from the 50s to the 80s, with the 70s and 80s getting the lion’s share of time here. You can watch previews for genre classics, b movies, Ozploitation, giallo favorites, and even animal attack movies, with all kinds of stops in between to delight your cult film senses. Even the cannibal movies get some love here, so it is a nice, deep selection of trailers to peruse. The second half is The New Beginning, home to 91 trailers and once again, most are from the 70s and 80s, but other decades are given time to shine again. This assortment has more variety however, with some comedies and mainstream titles blended in, with films like Teen Wolf, Young Frankenstein, and The Princess Bride included. But there’s still a wealth of cult, horror, sci/fi, and b movie previews, so no worries on that front.I love how well designed this release is, as Umbrella makes it easy to browse and find the trailers you’re after. Each trailer has a dedicated chapter break, so access is so simple and intuitive, with no delays getting to those crazed trailers you need. You can also just watch the entire sections of trailers, with brief intros and outros, in case you need hours of trailers in your eyeballs. I think this makes Drive-In Delirium a great party disc, as you can drop in and out, while the trailers will entertain anyone who needs a few minutes of distraction. The intros and outros contain old school commercials and promo spots, so it is quite cool, fitting in perfectly with the trailers. So if you appreciate trailers or want to fill up your wish list with wild movies to check out, Drive-In Delirium: Dead by Dawn is well recommended. Visit my site for a full review!

Exactly what I was expecting, great service would definitely recommend.
