Rating:  - A Rather Mixed Bag
Ok, yes I am a big horror movie fan and I was excited about this set. I have not seen all the movies yet. First, they all LOOK fantastic, whatever they did to restore them - Mazel tov! Beautiful pictures, the lurid "Brides of Dracula" especially. I must admit I fell asleep watching some of these, I guess I've just used to more 'active' camera work or something. They are certainly all earnestly done, but the scripts seem to be rather weak often.
The "Phantom" version is really not very good ... Read More
Rating:  - BRIDES OF DRACULA
Hammer Horror Series (Brides of Dracula / Curse of the Werewolf / Phantom of the Opera (1962) / Paranoiac / Kiss of the Vampire / Nightmare / Night Creatures / Evil of Frankenstein)
Terence Fisher directed this film. Peter Cushing gave another marvellous performance as the vampire hunter, Van Helsing. David peel plays, Baron Meinster, whose mother, keeps him chained in the castle, and lures young girls there to satisfy his lust for blood. A young girl, becomes a guest at the castle, when she ...

Rating: - Excellent !
This Hammer horror collection is a masterpiece. In particular, "The phantom of the opera", a so serious British version for this French classic novel.
Rating: - what a value , what a blast
i can enumerate at least four solid reasons to own this unusually reasonable HAMMER collection . "BRIDES OF DRACULA" (**** out of *****) , "CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF" (**** out of *****) , "KISS OF THE VAMPIRE" (**** out of *****) and "EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN" (**** out of *****) . that's only half the pictures you get for this price . even if the other films were scat ? which they're not , find me a better deal in the states (because i'm unaware of it) .
Rating: - Hammer Horror Series DVD
The movies are as I remember them. Entertaining and no gratuitous violence. Don't go looking for great plot development. Some of it is pretty stupid: In "Brides of Dracula", what kind of stupid vampire would leave his worst enemy alive albeit slightly bitten and go fetch the pretty heroine so that he could bite her in front of his enemy instead of taking her just about any time he could have enroute back.
My only real complaint is that "curse of the werewolf" froze up right at the climactic ... Read More
