But I will say that Arrow did a superb job with the Between Night and Dawn release, with some great essays on lesser known Romero films.
Which makes me wish, for consistency (and my OCD) for Martin to be on Arrow. Dawn on Criterion would just be hilarious in a way.
I recall the essay in The Hills Have Eyes being good, just that the book was mostly screen caps. Oh wait, there was a second piece on the sequels and remakes in the Hills booklet, but it was of so little value that I just now remembered it. But, yeah, too much filler, which I think is a common issue I have with Arrow's booklets.

I can't recall much about the Last House booklet, just that it was probably 50% pictures too. And, for the record, I don't mind pictures or even a picture heavy booklet, if the pictures are posters, behind the scenes, production art, etc, but Arrow's booklets are rarely filled with these.

The Romero booklet was good, as are the two American Horror Project booklets
