The Strain Season 1-4 (BOX) [14DVD] (English audio. English subtitles)

really enjoyed

Bought for my husband he loved it

Review for The Strain Boxset. A Rollercoaster series from start to finish!! I Have watched this twice now and the story still has Great Momentum. Sci-fi /vampire horror, closer to 'The Thing' in vivid coolness than any gothic pantomime or teenaged soap..and so much the better for it ! Vampire/ creature Epidemic story structure, as characters try to find a cure to win this war, and over over and over fail. Characters are a dynamic lot and in each series you think they may have found the solution... an Epic battle that mixes science and magical parts. The Story starts quietly in our everyday modern world and just grows and grows larger. The different 'stages' of the story work really well from series to series. As we move from the usual human concerns to a different world. Human Evil in all its official forms is targeted as culpable for not stopping the spread of ancient evil, and in this way the message of the piece is hammered home again and again. Our main, very valiant, characters are fighting both vampyric evil and the evil of other humans who collaborate or/ only look out for themselves. As a dark fairytale of human moral failings, it is excellent. So the series has more to say than just entertainment alone. Real content appreciated!!

A great series with a very unique story despite the fact the themes have been re-used by the movie industry countless times. This series takes an unexpected route with it’s plot components and creates a gripping & immersive world that beckons the viewer to continue watching. A perfect series to add to any collection. 5/5 stars

Rather better than most Vampire series. Good cast, scripts, effects. Well thought out and acted upon. Not very true to the books. Guillermo Del Toro features somewhat.

The Strain was a tv show that ran for four seasons, and was based on a series of horror novels. These see New York fall under the spell of a vampire like being called the Master, as he turns people into his own minions in order to spread his plan for world domination. And an eclectic group of individuals form the only resistance to him.The show was broadcast on Watch in the uk. Initially. They just didn't bother to show the last season, though. Which aired in the states in 2017.But now frustrated British viewers, you can see it! All ten episodes of the fourth season are in this box set. This is a box set of the whole thing, so you get the first three seasons as well. There is no way to get the fourth season on it's own. But after waiting this long to see it, that may not be an issue for you.This is a region two dvd, so will work on British players.The show is gory and violent in the extreme, thus is a fifteen certificate.Thus this review is slanted solely towards the last season. If you want to know more about the first three, look at the product pages for their dvd releases. Because this is just the discs from those repackaged with three for season four, in one big box of fourteen discs. Thus all forty six episodes are here.Languages and subtitles on the discs:Languages: English.Subtitles; English.All episodes run forty three minutes. Approx.The last season is a good finale. It does follow on from what happened at the end of season three, although some time has passed in between that and this. It does create a very believable and scary at many times setting for the story. And it does know where it is going all the time.The first five episodes do have a lot of setting up of things to do, thus there are a few where not all the regular characters appear. But from episode six onwards, this really starts to move. And it's a gripping ride thereafter.It does become rather hard to let these characters go as it gets closer to the end. But it does give good and just resolutions to all concerned. Some of which are memorable and satisfying. And I did find myself missing them once it was done.A very good watch. It's been a bit of a wait. And it cost more than it should have to get this, but I'm glad I got to see it at last.Extras on the season four discs:Deleted scenes: Five of them, spread over seven mins. They can only be watched in a row. These are all characters moments that don't advance the action. which is the kind of thing that usually gets cut. They are all worth a watch. Two involving Mr. Quinlan are really good.Gag reel: This starts with a clever title sequence that is a parody of title sequences from shows of old, which is fun. Whilst as with most gag reels there's too much of people just being silly, there are some genuinely good outtakes in here. Which should teach you a good lesson about turning your phone off. You do end up wishing it was longer than three minutes.Coping with the Strain: a therapy session. A brilliant little feature running five mins, which has all the characters attending a therapy session. It's incredibly funny and has to be watched.Inside look: eleven three min long promo pieces/overviews of certain aspects of episodes. That as usual with this kind of thing use clips and sound bites from the actors. They can be watched individually or all in a row. They're brief but not bad.

As a present for our daughter she will love this.DVD set.

good watching

Even after seeing it on TV, this brings a new level to watching the series with no commercials. It is just the scary monsters in the night.

A different vampire lore,was great from start to end as a TV series.
