Knight Chills offers a surprising variety of buying options. I'm not sure why so many packages taut this movie as much as they do. Are there really that many people interested in this flick?

There are at least 2 stand-alone DVD's including a “Special Edition” and numerous multi-movie packs. The most notable multi-packs are the 10 movie Night Chills, the 4 movie State of Shock, and the 50 movie Mortuary of Madness.

I'll tell you a bit more about the Night Chills 10 pack.

Video:

N-A widescreen: The video is out of focus, but I don't know if that's a problem with the movie itself or the Night Chills presentation. It's pretty grainy and is a bit washed out at times. The ratio is presented as 1.33 but with a matte to make it look widescreen (non-anamorphic) so the effect on a widescreen TV is like watching the movie through a window.

Audio:

5.1, 2.0 Dolby: I was surprised to find a surround sound option available (it's the only one in this particular pack to offer that). It doesn't sound to me as if it really makes much use of it, though. It's clear enough, but the mix and original quality sound low-budget.

Packaging:

The set has each disc in a multi-tray plastic case. You can read more details about the whole set in the Night Chills (10 pack) guide.

Extras:

There are no extras of any kind.

Other Editions:

I can find no indication that there is any notable difference between any of these presentations although most don't list enough details to be sure about it. It appears to be offered in widescreen (though the exact ratio varies a bit from release to release and may also be non-anamorphic) with no audio specs listed although I would expect at least the Special Edition DVD to offer the 5.1 surround sound.

None, including the Special Edition release, list any extras.

Final Thoughts:

If you're after this movie by itself the Special Edition is your best bet. You can get more bang for your buck with one of the multi packs although that 50 pack seems very over-priced for the quality of movies it offers. The Night Chills 10 pack is a decent bargain if you have any interest in the other movies it offers.
