Thriller: Season 1
The Cold Hand of the '70s Horror Classic Beckons
An international cult phenomenon from television genius Brian Clemens (The Avengers, Danger Man), now on DVD for the first time, all ten spine-tingling movies from the first season of Thriller available for your viewing terror. Positively Hitchcockian, with a liberal dose of the supernatural, nothing is what it seems in each feature length episode of Thriller. Witches, serial killers, ghosts, con-artists, Satanists and terrorists are just some of the villains involved in the outlandish plots, the unexpected twists and the even more surprising endings. But it's what you can't see—the sinister atmosphere, the almost unbearable tension—that makes this one of television's most terrifyingly enjoyable shows ever. Fear has never been better. Innovative and boundlessly inventive, Thriller boasts a galaxy of American and British stars like Donna Mills, Bob Hoskins, Patrick Magee, Helen Mirren, Hayley Mills and Stephen Rea.

An Okay Movie - bbryon1
These Thriller episodes have been redone in colour with a new cast. I think the old Thrillers were a lot better. There are some movies that you cannot re-due without losing something. The stories are interesting and worth watching. If you were an old Thriller fan, you will be disappointed. Not what I remember as a teenager.A Word Of Warning... - Craigo
This isn't up to par with Night Gallery and all the other more competently budgeted horror series from 70's TV. It seems to have a bit of a cult following for those who saw it way back when, but, unfortunatly, it's shot-on-video and loses a lot of credibility for cheaping out like that. I'm not a fan of horror material that dosn't use film stock, so I'm afraid it lost me quickly and I couldn't give it a fair shake. It's worth checking out a disc from the colection, just to see if it grabs your interest, but some may be dissappointed.
