At Last, our very own Hammer Horror on DVD!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hammer House of Horror : The Vampire Collection [DVD] [1980] (DVD)
At last, three of my favourite quintessential late Hammer Horror films from the early Seventies on DVD! Countess Dracula, Twins of Evil and Vampire Circus all in one great collection!!! I grew up watching re-run after re-run of these movies through the late 70's and early 80's as an adolescent with an active imagination. Hammer films always satisfied my need for a uniquely "original" and "stylish" aproach to the Horror genre. A "Hammer movie" is always recognisable as a "Hammer movie", but what makes them so unique? For me, Hammer movies represent the sum total of several key elements.... Sure, these films probably seem dated to a jaded modern audience, sure the dialogue may at times seem corny and the horror element pretty tame by todays grisly standards, but for those of us who caught these movies the first time round who keep returning to them for repeated viewings, we know what an indelible effect Hammer Horror films have had on us over the years. For me, they have been a great source of imagination and inspiration toward the world of the fantastical and supernatural. In a modern film world preoccupied with the grisly and gory horrors of the "real-life" Serial Killer genre etc, the fantastic world of Hammer Horror with its supernatural characters of Vampires, Mummies and Werewolves is a welcome change!!

VAMPIRE LUST,
This review is from: Hammer House of Horror : The Vampire Collection [DVD] [1980] (DVD)
What can one say 3 great or I would say the Greatest Hammer films of all times in one collection.Countess Dracula tells a countess who used to bath in the blood of young virgins.Ok it gets to much over the top making it fictional than fact of the real Countess,but still a great film.The second film Twins of evil tells of twins one who is pure and after seeing her uncle whats the point of being good unlike her sister who is willing to sell herself to the Dark side for the pleasure of sex etc.Great film.Ok now for the best of the three.VAMPIRE CIRCUS,A cousin of a late Count trys to get the count back to life by killing the kids whos parents took the counts life.It is a great mix of erotic,action and bloody gore.Great film and to me the Best in the history of Hammer.

Hammer Horror at it's best!,
By
This review is from: Hammer House of Horror : The Vampire Collection [DVD] [1980] (DVD)
I bought this collection for "Vampire Circus". It's a sad shame that it's not available in the U.S., which means I'll be paying an arm and a leg to have it transferred to Region 1. It's worth it, though! As a child, I remember being scared out of my mind by this movie. Nobody did horror like Hammer. And nobody ever will. End of story.
