Hammer Horror Series (DVD, 2005)

The Phamtom of the Opera, the greatest movie of all-time! Herbert Lom and Heather Sears are phenomenal. The settings are unbelievable classy. No one makes movies like this anymore! All of the other movies included are a wonderful bonus.

This my finest DVD collection of Hammer Horror series! I love Peter Cushing and of course the late Oliver Reed (Proximo in Gladiator). You get to see these actors in their heydays and really see what they were like then. Fantastic collection to have and enjoy!

I bought this set of Hammer Studios horror films because many of them are difficult to find in the DVD format. Several of the eight films in the package are rarities, including "Paranoiac," "Night Creatures," "Nightmare," and "The Curse of the Werewolf." Set also includes the magnificent "Brides of Dracula," one of director Terence Fisher's best efforts and the intelligent "The Evil of Frankenstein." Most of these were made in British independent film company Hammer's heyday, and this set was well worth the price. Horror films today are so much more about special effects and are not as well written. Hammer made these low budget films that are truly scary and thought-provoking, too, with excellent acting (Oliver Reed got his start in these films and Brit actor Peter Cushing is always superb), terrific film scores, often by James Bernard, and great sets. Hammer did more with less money than wasteful US companies. So, if you like '60s and '70s horror done right, this set and anything else by Hammer is well worth having.

movies made in england; total different in the way how the hammer films made monster films from usa monster films!but worth watching! so buy and watch & be a little scared!haha!

I bought this for my husband as a surprise, as one day he said he thought the "old horror movies by Hammer were the best" and Holloween was only a few weeks away...This was a two disc set, only problem was when I got the set there were two #1 discs, but seller sent another set and one of these was scratched, not seller's fault as it was a sealed set....just gave up and watch with skip in DVD...I would buy from this seller again, as I do not feel this is their fault....only thing I have now compared some prices of another DVD I am interested in (Movie "Folks" with Tom Selleck)and sorry but Wal-Mart beats price and also shipping charges are only 97 cents...So, guess the current DVD I am interestd in I will buy from Wal-Mart. If anything is wrong with it, all I have to do is take it back to the store and they refund money....thanks Nadagrande
