5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing collection of good old Hammerfilms, 9 Jan 2006
The little Hammer studio very often had to look for partners overseas to produce their amazing pictures. While other big Film studios like Warner and MGM released “their” Hammer films some time ago on DVD it seems that these eight (European!) movies rested for ages in the vaults of the Universal studios in LA. It was impossible to get them here in Austria for a very long time. So although I have to have a multi region DVD player and a NTSC compatible TV and despite the quite high costs for transport and customs duty I am very glad that this collection finally came out because this here is great stuff from the house of Hammer!
There are two double-sided DVDs with these movies;

The Brides of Dracula starring Peter Cushing
The Curse of the Werewolf starring Oliver Reed
Phantom of the Opera starring Herbert Lom
Paranoiac starring Oliver Reed
The Kiss of the Vampire starring Clifford Evans
Nightmare starring Jennie Linden
Night creatures starring Peter Cushing
The evil of Frankenstein starring (of course) Peter Cushing

No extras like trailers or audio commentary (which is a bit of a shame)

Only “Phantom of the Opera” was kind of a disappointment for me. Herbert Lom is a great and powerful actor and Terence Fisher was one of Hammers best directors but for me this film still is a boring and unconvincing version of the story by Gaston Leroux.
All the other movies are very good and highly enjoyable especially the three with the great Peter Cushing (who is absolutely adorable in “Night creatures”) and of course the films with the young Oliver Reed. “The Curse of the Werewolf” alone is reason enough to buy this DVDs.
Every fan of Hammer, Peter Cushing and good old Gothic Horror should buy this collection. It is really great entertainment!
Just buy it and see for yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars "Nightmare" and "Paranoiac" At Last!!, 22 Jul 2007
By Mr. B. Fraser (London United Kindom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This little set is worth it alone for the above chillers, which have superb production values.
The BFI in London has the only 35mm print in the country of 'Nightmare' and a splendid film too, crisply shot in Black + White, superbly photographed as is 'Paranoiac' from the Francis/Sangster team. The others are entertaining too and seldom seen on Television, definitely worth adding to your collection!

1.0 out of 5 stars Faulty Discs, 31 Oct 2007
By M. Lead "M, Lead" (Nottingham) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is indeed a fantastic collection of some of my favourite Hammer horror films. The prints that are used are of great quality plus the films have censored bits restored. Its only got one star from me because there is INHERENT FAULTS within these discs which make the films skip a second or freeze and stop the DVD player. I`m trying to contact Universal about this problem but from what I`ve read on Amazon US site about the same box set it looks like its not just me whose having a problem with this fault. Because these discs are dual sided that might be the problem thats causing the fault somehow. If the worse comes to the worse I can only hope that Universal release the same films, same prints, on their own. Big shame....
