Disclosure: I received free DVD & Digital from Mill Creek Entertainment and all opinions expressed here are my own.

Mill Creek Entertainment has done it again with a great DVD & Digital 2 Disc Set that includes the following movies:

Ghostquake
Arachnoquake
Miami Magma
Weather Wars

The back of the box says: "It's a STORM of EPIC PROPORTIONS when 4 APOCALYPTIC DISASTER MOVIES come together in ONE CATACLYSMIC COLLECTION".

When I received this set in the mail my son happened to see it and was interested in it himself. He likes movies and has a wide collection that he stores in a cabinet of mine. So he had first choice in viewing it.

Ghostquake is from 2012 and sounded like something I would like since Danny Trejo is a favorite actor of mine so I decided on watching that first. It stars Danny Trejo and MC Gainey. Trejo portrays Ortiz, the school janitor and Gainey portrays a deceased head master or principal.

First of all the music was eerily scary. It started out with a group of high school students in a class with the history teacher talking about UFO's and one of the male students is drawing a picture of one of the female students instead of listening.

After class the male student (Quentin) is by his locker and takes a pouch out of it with some coins in it. The girl he was drawing comes by and tells him happy birthday (a day early). She sees the pouch he is holding and grabs them asking what they are and if they are real gold. He replies that they are real gold and real old. She asks if he is going to sell them or something and he says he has something better in mind.

Just then the history teacher comes by the lockers and wants Quentin to help him in the boiler room for a minute, which sounds weird. They go together and pass the janitor who is mopping the floor around the steps. It is a very old school and the teacher says that rumor has it that Quentin's grandfather spent a long time down here too.

He tells Quentin that the original owner of the school building burned at the stake for witchcraft. He then says the force cult is an obsession of his.

The teacher wants to see what Quentin showed Miss Douglas (the female student). When the teacher sees the coins he is amazed and proceeds to tell Quentin that his grandfather had turned half of them into rings because he thought they held a power into the spirit world. He angrily grabs Quentin with both hands telling him "you know what I mean" and the coins drop all over the floor.

After Quentin picks them up the teacher apologizes and Quentin says he has to go, not knowing that the teacher had one of the coins under his shoe. He picks it up and looks carefully at it, when it starts glowing and burns his hands. He drops it and suddenly the walls are rumbling and cracking with bugs coming out of them. Then an old man is standing there which is a school headmaster that has been dead half a century.

In another segment there are a couple of girls out in the hall by the lockers when the coach and principal come along and want them to help with the senior prom. When they walk away one of the girls (Miss Douglas) opens her locker and sees a hand reaching out. She slams the locker and the other girl asks her what the matter is. Miss Douglas says she thinks she is studying too much.

It then shows a librarian in the high school who sees a figure flash by briefly behind aisles of books. She states that the library is closed when a weird looking demon girl appears in front her making growling-like sounds. The librarian falls and seems to be sinking in the floor, then is just lying there looking lifeless with the demon girl looking at her. Scary stuff!

Later on some of the students are unpacking things for decorating the gym for the prom. Quentin leaves the gymnasium to get some chairs and runs into the janitor who asks him where he's going in a mean voice.

In another part, there are some male students who want a bullied student to break into the school to change some of their bad grades on the computers. The poor guy doesn't want to do it but is threatened by them with a knife. There are four guys altogether who climb into some sort of shaft on the side of the school building. It takes them into the cafeteria.

Suddenly the walls start to shake like an earthquake. The last student who is climbing through the shaft gets stuck after the rumbling of the school. He was last because he was smoking a cigarette and said he'd be right there. The other guys who got through first thinks he chickened out and went back so they don't know he is stuck. Suddenly the old man who had been the headmaster there half a century ago appears in the shaft with him. He tells the student that smoking on schools ground is an automatic detention and then you hear yelling and it looks like the inside of the shaft is burning.

Quentin is then shown going into the basement of the school building and finding the teacher that wanted to see his coins lying there dead. In the next segment it goes to the janitor in a room chanting words while looking in a book with symbols in it. Suddenly a young girl appears out of nowhere and he is talking to her but she doesn't speak. He knows her and he asks what they did to her and she shakes her head back and forth. He tells her it is happening now and she nods her head yes.

So far I am enjoying this rather scary and intriguing movie. I am anxious to find out how it ends and am interested in viewing the other 3 movies after that.

You can find the APOCALYPSE 4 IN 1 COLLECTION DVD & Digital at Mill Creek Entertainment for $19.98 and it includes 2 discs with a run time of 5 hours and 49 minutes.
