Of course old films are "dated".....does it really matter if the film is good ?

As long as one enjoys it who gives a damn.

I'm one of those people who always tries to catch a Hammer Horror he hasn't seen, without ever really enjoying them. Even the acknowledged classic tend to disappoint. Yet, I still give each and every one a proper go. My favourite (and currently the only one I own on BD) is Twins of Evil (great Synapse disc).

I get what you mean. I'm a big horror fan but some of the Hammers can be a bit boring, especially if you go in expecting something amazing.

One of the worst I've sat through was 'The Satanic Rites Of Dracula'

[Show spoiler]

. Awful movie, but I watched it with a commentary by Elvira Mistress Of The Dark which made it a bit more bearable!

I feel very much the same way. Maybe part of it is that a grew up with the Corman Poe adaptations and didn't really watch much Hammer until I was an adult?

Anyway, the recent restoration and BD release of 'Dracula' was the first time ever I enjoyed that movie (regardless of the issues about the aspect ratio and color timing). I always found the US DVD to be much too bright and lacking in atmosphere.

I was also quite fond of 'Curse of Frankenstein', though to be fair it was the first time I watched it, and the "quality" of that particular BD did take me somewhat out of the movie at times.

Any reviews yet on THE BRIDES OF DRACULA? I believe it still comes out in a couple of weeks. Want to know what's going on with it regarding the aspect ratio. Think they were going to tinker with it cause the original master was destroyed or something????

Markgway · 08-13-2013, 11:12 PM

Curse of Frankenstein is the only one of the 'classic Hammers' I haven't seen. Keep waiting for it to show up on TV here in the UK (I never got into Hammer until I was an adult).

I quite enjoyed Satanic Rites of Dracula (at least compared to the others) because it played like a particularly funky episode of The New Avengers. Yes, the thorn bush isn't terribly exciting... but it's better than To the Devil, a Daughter's rock to the head Devil death!

Have anyone a list of Hammer movies that are released in America on Blu-ray? I only know of Twins of Evil since I focus on the British releases!

I'm so anticipating a review for BRIDES. I want to know whats up with this aspect ratio nonsense.

MichChrisIp · 09-05-2013, 05:09 PM

Just received Brides of Dracula and Evil of Frankenstein today, cant wait to sit down and watch them! A shame about no subs though, usually a dealbreaker for me, but really wanted to see these!

MichChrisIp · 10-12-2013, 09:11 AM

Do anyone know what's up with The Mummy, which should be released monday! It says Currently unavailable, and cant believe that's it have sold out, and have it preordered but no notifications about soon dispatching or nothing! :/

mr young · 10-12-2013, 09:34 AM

Check out the Mummy thread earlier - you may not have ordered from the correct placeholder. Here is the correct link to order from:
