A few years back Poundland surprised us all with a selection of well known horror classics and then followed it up with cheesy 50s B-movies the following year - all entertaining. However for the past couple of years we've just had digitally shot straight to DVD movies that fail to excite - the sort of substandard movie that if you saw them was advertised as showing on the Horror Channel, you'd probably give them a miss!
This year there's again a selection of movies you've never heard of and probably never will again. There were a couple that I'm sure I'd seen advertised on the Horror Channel and had chosen to avoid after seeing the trailers. However I did walk away with a BluRay of a Spanish werewolf movie the 2009 Universal remake of 'The Wolfman' starring Benicio Del Toro (OK, I know it's not supposed to be great either - but it must be worth a quid!), and as a guilty pleasure, the 1991 sequel 'Omen IV The Awakening' which apparently follows the usual law of diminishing returns for sequels. Aware of its poor reviews I still bought it as my Omen box set just has the first 3 films. I'll keep an eye out just in case any more items of interest are added, but for some of the other titles on sale, you can look at the picture below.
