Product Description

A triple bill of early Hammer studios horror films starrring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, all from the director/writer team of Terence Fisher/Jimmy Sangster. 'The Curse of Frankenstein' (1957) was the first in Hammer studios' long line of horror films. Awaiting execution in his dingy cell, Baron Victor Frankenstein (Cushing) confides his story to a priest. Orphaned as a child, Frankenstein worked closely with his tutor, Paul Krempe (Robert Urquhart), experimenting on animals until they successfully revived a dead puppy. Much to Paul's unease, Frankenstein then worked obsessively to create a monster (Lee) out of assorted body parts, but once given life the creature attacked its maker and went on the rampage. In 'Horror of Dracula' (1958) Jonathan Harker (John Van Eyssen) journeys to Castle Dracula, where he is turned into one of the undead by the famous vampire (Lee). Professor Van Helsing (Cushing) arrives and drives a stake through Harker's heart, but must then pursue Dracula to London, where the Count intends to make Harker's fiancée Lucy Holmwood his bride. Whilst in 'The Mummy' (1959), when Stephen Banning (Felix Aylmer) and his son John (Cushing) disturb an Egyptian tomb, they invoke a terrible curse. Back in England they are tracked down by a mummy (Lee), who kills Stephen Banning. Realizing that he and his wife Isobel will be next, John attempts to escape from the rampaging mummy.

4.0 out of 5 starsA nice set
By A Customer on 3 Dec. 2002
Format: DVD
I would just like to add to the previous review that I didn't notice any artifacts, scratches or dirt in any of the films in this box set.
The films are a nice afternoon entertainment. The camera isn't bad. It usually gains effect with a few well tested cliches like zooming in on a couple of people having a convwersation when one of them says something important or scary etc.
I may be wrong but I think I saw the same background (a mountain) in Curse of Frankenstein (the professors funeral) and in Dracula (the mountain behind the castle).
The story of all three films is told like someone is telling you a story in short. "He suspected that what they were doing was wrong and when he came the next day and saw the creature he was certain of it and didn't want to be associated with it anymore". Well the movies tell their stories in a similary simple way. But that's - along with a bit wooden english acting style - what we love those films for.
The movies in this package are a nice contribution to any film lovers collection. I just wish there were more extras on the disks. A video essay on Hammer or the gothic cinema or something like that. I know that one can buy a book on that but it's still nice to have some overview on the subject that you can watch on the same disk.

5.0 out of 5 stars..."HE MUST BE FOUND.....AND DESTROYED"
By JIMBO (Dublin,) on 11 Feb. 2011
Format: DVD
They can make all the vampire movies they need to, but Dracula (aka Horror of Dracula 1958) will take some beating for this version from an early Hammer Horror Studios effort.
Here we have the novel almost stripped bare until all that is left are the character names. Peter Cushing as Van Helsing is outstanding in his performance as our professor who appears to know more than anyone about vampirism.and its cult of the Un-Dead. Christopher Lee as the count is striking and oozes nobility especially his first meeting with Jonathan Harker, but then his character changes to the snarling, blood soaked Dracula, when things don't go his way. Dressed completely in black (as described by Stoker) Even though Christopher Lee has very few lines he really puts his stamp on the role as the ultimate Dracula ( forget the sequels)

With Terence Fisher at the helm as director, James Bernard composing the music, a fine supporting cast How could it fail. The movie made on a low budget and in glorious technicolor and for the first time on european screens, a Dracula with fangs. no crumbling castle here, but rather a well furnished and well kept haven. Harker travelling icognito as a librarian (!) and friend of Van Helsing arrives at the castle to destroy Dracula but things don't go according to plan and it is left to Van Helsing to destroy our devilish count, as he finds victim after victim, the Count is taking revenge for the loss of his vampire bride at the castle. (slain by Harker)

Full of action, creepy and a race against time Van Helsing tries to persuade his new ally , Arthur Holmwood (Michael Gough) of the dangers of vampirism, and that it really does exist in human form and is known as the Un-Dead.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsBest of British
By J. L. Probert on 17 Dec. 2002
Format: DVD
There is a review on this site which actually refers to the USA version of this box set. The UK version is slightly different, with no essays, and I couldn't see anything wrong with the print for 'Horror of Dracula' (In fact it's almost too good - you can see undead vampire Christopher Lee's breath, along with John van Eyssen's, in the scene in Harker's bedroom). I did wonder why we didn't get the British title card, or indeed the British trailer, but these are minor quibbles. There's little you can say about the titles on offer here that hasn't been said before. Suffice to say these are three of the most well-made, best-loved horror films of all time - a testament to the skills of Fisher, Hinds, Carreras, Sangster, Bernard, Cushing, Lee, Robinson, Needs, Asher, & all the rest at Bray Studios, and a slap in the face for the auteur theory. All three look the best they have in ages, even better than I can remember them through the rose-tinted memories of my childhood. Extras are pretty minimal, with a trailer for each film and a never-ending variety of subtitle options. Galleries of poster art would have been nice. Even so, if you're a fan of Hammer, you've probably got these already. If not, throw away your old VHS copies and treat yourself.

5.0 out of 5 starsThree Classics from the Golden Age of Hammer Horror
By Joseph on 1 Nov. 2012
Format: DVD
The Golden Age of Hammer Horror was without doubt from the fifties and the sixties this was the time where they churned out Gothic horrors that dripped with atmosphere and literate scripts and this boxset boasts some the three classics that defined their studio and showed the company at the height it's power as each launched a string of sequels (most of which were unnecessary). Dracula (1958) is probably the best adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel it tinkers slightly with the plot but nevertheless is enjoyable experience. The film follows Van Helsing (Peter Cushing) as he attempts to hunt down and kill the evil Dracula (Christopher Lee). Peter Cushing delivers a top performance as the element of good and benevolence in the film which is is stark contrast to Christopher Lee as the quiet, brooding and evil Count Dracula. Terence Fisher's direction is superb capturing the Gothic atmosphere of the tale and he directed the two best sequels: Brides of Dracula (1960) and Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966). The Mummy is a another treat which is actually far superior on many levels to the clunky Boris Karloff version of the Mummy (1932), it follows a team of archaeologists who unleash the evil of the Mummy. A nice mixture of intelligence and action makes this the definitive Mummy version. Finally The Curse of Frankenstein is the most gripping version of Mary Shelly's novel it is brilliantly re-imagined by Jimmy Sagster who does some original changes to the book making the "monster " less prominent and painting the Baron Frankenstein as the monster who will do anything to create his creature. A Top notch boxset well worth getting hold of for fans of Classic Hammer Horror.
