PLOT SYNOPSIS

\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Cardiac Arrest<\/em><\/strong> (1980)<\/strong> \u2014 A serial killer is plaguing San Francisco, surgically removing the hearts of his victims. Assigned to the case is weak-stomached homicide detective who investigates black market organ transplants.<\/p>\n

Day of the Animals<\/em><\/strong> (1977)<\/strong> \u2014 The depletion of the earth\u2019s ozone layer causes animals above the altitude of 5000 feet to run amok, which is unfortunate for a group of hikers dropped off by helicopter just before the quarantine.<\/p>\n

The Dead Hate the Living<\/em><\/strong> (2000)<\/strong> \u2014 A group of filmmakers making a horror film find a prop that\u2019s too good to pass up. After accidentally opening a portal to another dimension and awaking the dead, their fiction becomes a ghastly reality.<\/p>\n

Deadly Instincts<\/em><\/strong> (1997)<\/strong> \u2014 After a meteorite crashes, on a college campus an alien preys upon the students and staff. When law enforcement proves incompetent, Professor Ashley Roe must take matters into his own hands.<\/p>\n

\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Each film is shown, at least best I can tell, in their original aspect ratio. Although a few look to be slight upgrades over VHS quality, others actually don\u2019t look half bad. There is some pixilation and artifacting that crops up but for the most part these are fine.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, every movie comes with a basic but adequate Dolby Digital 2.0 track.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This A Deadly Place<\/em><\/strong> collection is an… interesting collection of movies and while these aren\u2019t high quality material, I\u2019m sure they have their fans and a few I checked out were quasi-entertaining.
