Digiview Entertainment
What's Digiview Entertainment?
A cheap, bare bones but highly profitable DVD distribution line, Digiview's heyday was back in the late aughts of 2004 thru 2008 when their line of generic, public domain DVD releases dominated Wal Mart and Dollar Tree shelves. And with the help of some recognizable titles and stars, these boxed bundles of crap became the ultimate impulse buy as they were usually priced at $1 or less. And if you ever watched one and saw the quality of the picture, then you'd say $1 is just about the perfect price. So what the hell happened to them?
Well they got sued, not surprisingly, by Warner Bros no less, one of the biggest studios in Hollywood. Since then, Digiview's website has died and their schlock supplies have dried up, leaving behind a lineage of re-re-re releases of movies that either have never had proper distribution, or movies that people simply forgot about.
Why bother writing about them at all? Well I like em. I like bad good movies, good bad movies and movies that are just okay too. And at $1 or less, the price is right, and I like identifying a film by it's production company, especially if that company no longer exists. So you might say I'm a Digiview collector. The only problem with that is that I think I'm the only person in the universe who collects these things, and there is no official list of titles that I can draw from, or check off as I get more and more. That being said, here's what is going to try to be a master list of these Digiview titles. Here's the ones I got, but if you find some that I don't know about, you tell me. You tell me right away.
