The Hammer Collection Box Set

Advantages: An aesthetically pleasing collection
Disadvantages: Some rather poor inclusions

...of classic Hammer films from the very good to...not so good. An aesthetically pleasing set for fans of the studio, or those wanting at least half of the titles. Features star favourites Peter Cushing, Raquel Welch, Ursula Andress and Christopher Lee (about whom there is an interesting documentary with 'Scars of Dracula'). The extra features vary greatly, the biggest ommission, in my opinion, is the total absence of subtitles for the hearing impaired. ...
...some for the first time, and completely uncut. My personal favourite was the inclusion of the 1965 film 'The Nanny' which stars a very chilling Bette Davis in a well scripted, and often overlooked role. Probably a tad overpriced for most, but new DVD versions of individual films are also available, so take a look at some of those if you don't want to commit yourself to a full collection. ...

those brits and their great anthologies...

Advantages: great british anthology horror.
Disadvantages: none.

i just LOVE british anthology horrors, and "doctor terror's house of horrors" is no exception. starring horror greats peter cushing and christopher lee, "dr. t's" offers a group of spine-tingling tales guaranteed to please. five men are on a train when they meet a mysterious character, dr. terror. this gentleman shows these five horrible "things to come"...or have they already happened? the ending will surprise you. out of all the segments, i personally ...
...whose house is overrun by deadly vines, the one about a young man who thinks his wife may be a vampire (but is someone else just getting rid of the competition?), and the one starring christopher lee about a critic who causes an "accident" to happen to an artist who insulted him. the artist loses his hands and takes his own life as a result, but those hands just can't seem to stay inactive...yes, the idea has been touched upon before ("the beast ...

Review of Doctor Terrors House Of Horrors (DVD)

Paganism updated

Advantages: Unique and classic
Disadvantages: Not for all horror fans

...in 1973 by Robert Hardy the wicker man is a chilling insight into ancient paganistic rituals. Set and filmed in the north Scottish island Summerisle, this film was somewhat controversial at the time of it's release and since then has become a cult classic amongst British horror fans. The storyline follows Sgt Howie (Woodward) as a police officer from mainland Scotland who flies to Summerisle to investigate the dissapearance of a young girl. After ...
...is at it seems here, the villagers are suprisingly unhelpful or willing to even acknowledge the cause of the Sgt's visit, and the devout Christian is shocked and stunned to learn that the islands primary religion is Paganism. When i first saw this film, i knew that it wasn't going to be your typical horror, it seems to play on the psychological aspect and the hope that the audience will put themselves in the position of the main character when creating ...
