Member KyFi Posted January 24, 2003 Member Share Posted January 24, 2003 The Mummy would probably be my #1--it just has all the Hammer elements I like in spades. Horror of Dracula, and Dracula--Prince of Darkness are up there for me too---great atmosphere and style. In general, I tend to prefer Hammers from 1966 or earlier. To me, when they started going heavier on the gore and sex, the Hammer films started to get cheaper and gaudier looking---I like the classic feel of their earlier ones best. One that pleasantly surprised me was Plague of the Zombies. I really don't care for the gorier modern zombie movies, but I thought this one was vintage Hammer---really great atmosphere and tension.

Guest monwobobbo Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 actually CREEPING FLESH isn't a hammer flick but it is a good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GerardH Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 I enjoyed Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires with no other than Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. I especially enjoyed the creepy feel to the film. But just as zwolf1 mentioned, Hammer made a lot of good films and their reputation is unmatched.

Guest zwolf1 Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Oops, my bad... Creeping Flesh is Amicus. I sometimes get Amicus mixed up with Hammer since they both tended to use Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing a lot, and shared some of the same directors. Amicus's quality even verged on Hammer's at time and the movies got pretty similar... another good film company. Not as good as Hammer, o' course, but kinda like a little brother to them...

Guest 6SICK6 Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Christopher Lee is not in Legend of the & Golden Vampires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carl Jones Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 You fellas have failed to mention one of THE best and atmospheric of the early Hammer's BRIDES OF DRACULA. I haven't seen this for years but I still think it's the tops! Van Helsing swinging from the Windmill to create the sign of the cross! Baron Meinster had no chance! Nuff said!

Guest GerardH Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 You know what, I am remembering it wrong. I watched it again and realized it wasn't him. Thanks for the correction. Gerard "Vampires do exist" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KyFi Posted January 30, 2003 Member Share Posted January 30, 2003 Yes, I agree with CJ----Brides of Dracula is definitely one of the strongest Hammers. I've got this on VHS---would love to see this on widescreen DVD. I also liked The Gorgon a lot--very cool. And, although it's not Hammer, Horror Express is one of my all-time favorite Cushing/Lee features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
