Palisades Tartan Terror Pack Vol. 1 (2009)

Rating: 3 Stars (out of 4)

Box of Shocks

By Jeffrey M. Anderson

Buy Palisades Tartan Terror Pack Vol. 1 on DVD

Palisades Tartan has released this new three-disc box set just in time for Halloween, including three of their vault titles. I liked both Sheitan (from France) and Carved (from Japan), and though I have not see the third title, Slaughter Night (from The Netherlands), I can recommend the box on the basis of the first two. Palisades Tartan has also released two new horror titles, The Butcher (from Korea) and P (from Thailand).
