What is Hammer?
Well, it was a filmstudio in the UK that made hardcore horror movies for it's time, they brought back the horror classic monsters Dracula, Frankenstein and The Mummy, they also did some adventure films and Sci-Fi, but they are still very known for their Horror.
I recently got a copy of Dracula (1958), their first Dracula, and I loved it. It had huge hairy balls for a movie in the 50's, lots of blood!
So I decided to purchase this Hammer collection Box, the box contains the movies:
'Blood From The Mummies Tomb', 'Demons Of The Mind', 'The Devil Rides Out', 'Viking Queen', 'Dracula, Prince Of Darkness', 'Fear In The Night', 'Frankenstein Created Women', 'The Horror Of Frankenstein', 'The Nanny', 'One Million Years BC', 'The Plague Of The Zombies', 'Prehistoric Women', 'Quartermass And The Pit', 'Rasputin The Mad Monk', 'The Reptile', 'The Scars Of Dracula', 'SHE', 'To The Devil A Daughter', 'The Vengeance Of SHE', 'Straight On Till Morning' and 'The Witches'.
all the books stacked on each other makes a form of a graveyard cross, like the one on the cover of the box.
The menu is simple and not cheap, some movies has commentary's of actors, producers and director's, and there is a documentary on Christopher Lee and a Feature doc: To The Devil...The Death of Hammer + some trailers and stuff to waste a min or 2.
Over some next blogs I'll be reviewing these movies at 2 movies a blog. So get ready for some Hammer fun over the next few weeks from this blog!
There are some shit hammer flicks and some of the best Hammer flicks, I am prepared :)
The only dawnfall I find in this box is that there are only 2 Dracula flicks of them in it, they made 6 flippin Dracula movies, they could have added at least 1 more Dracula flick :-/
And a Frankenstein one...
