Icons Of Horror    January 9, 2009
Cassandra L. Wallace
The Icons Of Horror from Hammer Films DVD-Excellent! I think Hammer Films have the best horror movies period.


3 out of 4 never before DVD released features from Hammer    December 30, 2008

The following aspects are enough to highly recommend anyone interested in horror movies from the sixties to get a copy of this compilation: (1) three of the titles included in this package have been previously unavailable in DVD (scream of fear, the gorgon, the two faces of Dr. Jekyll); I am aware of Spanish and British DVD previous releases of "the curse of the mummy's tomb; (2) restoration and digital transfer is excellent in all 4 movies included; (3) you get Christopher Lee playing roles in "scream of fear", "the gorgon", and "the two faces of Dr. Jekyll"; (4) you get Peter Cushing confronting C. Lee in "the gorgon".

While "the curse of the mummy's tomb", "the gorgon", and "the two faces of Dr. Jekyll" highlight the classical monster flicks from Hammer, "scream of fear" is a little gem that departs from this pattern. This less known movie is a black & white, well acted, scripted and storied mystery and suspense movie that will keep you in your seat despite the characteristic low pace of movies from this time. So, getting "scream of fear" in this package is probably another good reason to get a copy the whole thing. English subtitles are provided for all 4 features. Enjoy.


Icons of Horror (Hammer Films)    December 27, 2008
Pierre R. Lamirande (Gatineau,QC CANADA)
I have found this 2nd release of Hammer films (Icons of Adventure being the 1st one) highly entertaining and in line with the gothic appeal created by Hammer in the late 50's.These horror movies are long sought after and Hammer fans have been screaming for their release for the last twenty years. Now, if we could get other movies such as: SHE who must be obeyed, Twins of Evil as well as a Dracula set(7 movies) and a Frankenstein set (6 movies) I truly would be in 7th heaven! Thank you Hammer Films and keep them coming!


Columbia's 2nd Hammer Set...    December 1, 2008

Nice selection of horror films (not Hammer's best). Terrific quality prints. Best ever on each of these titles.


Superb Hammer set from Sony.    November 17, 2008

This is a superb Hammer horror DVD set from Sony. The studio is really doing a great job with classic titles at the moment, and this set is a prime example! Four classic Hammer films and a great looking cover (yes, I was one of the fans who voted for it..). Recommended!!!
