DVD Reviews of Hammer Horror Series (Brides of Dracula / Curse of the Werewolf / Phantom of the Opera (1962) / Paranoiac / Kiss of the Vampire / Nightmare / Night Creatures / Evil of Frankenstein)
DVD Review: Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
I have bought this item on two different occasions and both times they were defective. The discs keep freezing or not playing at all. It is most pronounced with "The evil of Frankenstein" disc.DVD Review: Problems can arise later
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had this set of films since October 2005 and all the films are good. Brides Of Dracula, Curse Of The Werewolf and Kiss Of The Vampire are Hammer classics and the other 5 are less well known but worth seeing. I had read about the problems others had had with the set but my need to own these films outweighed the risk. I nervously watched all the films and was delighted when they played perfectly, I thought I was one of the lucky ones. I have watched several of the films more than once without any problems. Then I decided to watch Phantom Of The Opera again - and guess what, it stuck about half way through even though I am still using the same multi region player that the discs have worked on previously. I cleaned the disc and used a dvd player cleaner but it still stuck at the same place. I then tried it on an older and much cheaper player that I still use from time to time - fortunately it played the movie without any problem, so I can still watch it when I want to. This is really a warning to those buyers who think they have a perfect set - don't be surprised if you come across the same problem that I did when you try to watch the movies again. I would have thought that Universal was a big enough, and experienced enough company to get things right when releasing their DVDs. I'm sure that most people would have been happy to pay a bit more to get these films on individual discs rather than have them squeezed onto 2 double sided discs and have to put up with the compression problems that it can cause.DVD Review: Freezers
Summary: 1 Stars
Several of the movies have problems, especially Evil of Frankenstein which is nearly useless. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.DVD Review: Some movies in this collection 'freeze'
Summary: 3 Stars
Actually, the two movies I really wanted were "Night Creatures" and "Brides of Dracula", but this is a great deal for the price. Unfortunately, some of the movies are rendered unwatchable because they freeze during playing. This makes for a frustrating viewing experience. Luckily the two movies I like were able to play through. Given the defects inherent in these DVDs, I would not recommend getting this DVD set. Btw, "Brides of Dracula" is not a Christopher Lee vehicle, though it has Peter Cushing as Van Helsing. Here, Van Helsing tracks down a young nobleman/vampire who is inadvertently set loose by a naive schoolteacher and goes on a killing spree, turning delectable young women into vampires. The sets are beautiful, and the production quality is quite impressive. The acting is not too bad, and of course, Peter Cushing shines as usual. "Curse of the Werewolf" is also worth a mention here as it features a young Oliver Reed as the accursed werewolf.
DVD Review: Buyers beware!
Summary: 2 Stars
Buyers beware!
Twice I have bought this collection from different places and on both occasions the picture froze at various times. Evil of Frankenstein is completely unwatchable. Kiss of VAmpire worked well on both + Night Creatures and possibly Phantom of the Opera.
Don't buy this collection unless you are absolutely sure that every film is watchable from beginning to end.
