“No problems”

I've been using this site for a few years, no problem with security issues and if I do get a bad film, which is not that often, a refund is issued within 24 hours. Reading the other reviews it looks like others have had problems, but you take as you find, I will carry on using the site.

“I just checked and they're hosting a pirated version...”

I just checked and they're hosting a pirated version of a movie (Horrible Bosses 2) with embedded Asian subtitles, yet they mention nothing about the subtitles on their site. Basically you're buying stolen goods. The site might work for you, but you're not supporting the artists. I'd stay away. You might as well just torrent the movies because either way they're both stolen.

I have been a user of this site for a couple of years. Deposit money when needed by CC, they top it up with freebies and I download movies and TV series regularly. Admittedly it's a bit tricky at first to get the right software sorted - I use Firefox with the plugin DownThemAll and it works fine. The selection of movies available is not totally comprehensive, but they have most of what I want at between $0-$2.00. I say go for it.

Used them for almost two years. Never had trouble with payments or downloading BUT sometimes it takes a while to download a full movie (1.4gig). Also note that "new" releases may be cam-corder versions but those are only. 75 cents to download. When released the cost goes up to $1.50 or $2.00 Contrary to reviews, you can burn to DVD but you need to buy second party converters like convertXto dvd. Simply a drag and drop process. Since I am disabled I get to see first runs wiothout the hassles I encounter when I go out. All in all, I like this service.

I am using filmous for more than a year and have never seen any problems. Downloads are available for some time after purchasing, if you use a good download manager (several work great) you will have no problems at all. Filmous offers different qualtities of a movie, so you know what you will get in advance!

Am shocked to read of other peoples comments. Never had a problem downloading any of the films. Any complaints about the quality of the film, Filmous have always refunded me immediately without any hassle. Never been over charged on my credit card, so all in all a really good experience and good customer service. Company is actually in Cypress, not Russia.

I am suprised by other reviewers comments and feel compelled to write, as the comments do not match the experience I have had. Joined Filmous over a year ago, as had become addicted to Breaking bad the TV show and couldn't find it anywhere. I had a bit of trouble downloading, but soon sorted this out by downloading...(can't remember the name), which got rid of the breaks and also downloaded the programme that Filmous recommended for watching. They were a bit of work to set up and work out, especially as I am no techno expert, but neither of them cost anything and I now have trouble free viewing and downloading. Had a bit of trouble connecting to the website at one point, which was sorted out after I contacted Filmous, be email (a few days wait) and a refund was given, as their fault, not mine. At this point no unaccounted money has been taken from my card, however I am using a secure credit card, with special code that has to be used when funds are taken, so don't envisage that happening. I beleive this website is in Russia somewhere and I am in Sydney, so with the great distance between us, pretty good really.

I've used this site to download movies for quite some time now. Often times, I've downloaded movies that have not yet been released to DVD. In all cases, I Have been very pleased with the result. I consider the quality of the downloaded movies excellent. Now, I do not watch the movies on the computer. I use a program called Convert X to DVD to burn a DVD of the downloaded movie and watch it on my TV. The only criticism I have is about the movie's soundtrack. It's perfectly clear and understandable, but it's not encoded in Dolby Surround; it's simply an MP3 format. In the last two days I have not been able to download from the site because as they describe it "technical errors" have shut down their server. They claim that they expect to be back in business on Jan. 15. For those of you who have trouble downloading from the site, try a good download manager. I use Flashget.
