A Great Deal!
8 films for $12 is a heck of a deal. Out of the included movies, 5 were good, 2 were meh, and 1 was horrible. That ain't bad. If I had one complaint, it's that 3 films weren't even horror movies. That said, my favorite, Night Creatures (a very misleading title), turned out to be one of those. If you like Hammer films I'd definitely recommend this set.

Hammer Horror I haven't seen!
This set includes a few Hammer Horror movies that I haven't seen yet in H.D.blu-ray! Couldn't pass up the fantastic & affordable price for this awesome 8 movie set. Includes Phantom of the Opera, Nightmare, Evil of Frankenstein, Brides of Dracula (my favorite Cushing performance of Van Helsing) and Kiss of the Vampire. Can't wait to jump in!

fun set of lesser Hammer films
Not the best ones but lots of fun. All from the early 60s. 3 aren't even horror, more thriller and one is even comedy. Vampires (but no Dracula), Frankenstein, the sooe werewolf film Hammer did. Their version of Phantom of the Opera is unfortunately a bit weak.

Another great addition to a collection
Great quality and fast delivery. A great starter kit for beginners in the Hammer Horror universe. It has a good selection of different horror genres from Hammer productions. It’s a great addition to my collection.

Horrors, Adventure, and Psycho type thrills are all in one set!
This is a great set of Blue Rays at a reasonable price. If you are a Hammer fan this is the way to go. I know that there has been debate on the film ratio. All I can say is that it did not come across is any kind of hinderance to my viewing pleasure.The DVD set of these films was a horror in it self for me as I had to get 2 sets to be able to see all of the movies. Universal did a terrible job with the DVD set and the discs would skip, stop, and digitize on certain movies. The Blue Ray does not have that problem.Now for some info on the movies. Evil of Frankenstein is a favorite of mine. Peter Cushing makes for a swashbuckling Baron in this one which shows a heavy influence from the 40's Universal horror movies. They even have the Monster frozen in an ice block. Well photographed and directed by Freddie Francis.The Phantom of the Opera was supposed to have Carey Grant is the Phantom. He pulled out and Herbert Lom did a credible job in the role. Hammer spent a lot more money than usual on the film and it did not light up the box office. Terence Fisher directed.Brides of Dracula again Cushing is here in the role of Van Helsing. Wonderful stuff this movie and it all comes together for a fine evenings fun. There is no Dracula but the Vampire in this story is not a bad replacement. A classic horror with out a doubt.Curse of the Werewolf another classic by Fisher with a young Oliver Reed in the lead. Hammer's only foray into the Lycanthropy genre. Great production and a well done tale.The Kiss of the Vampire.Two honeymooners are terrorized by a coven of vampires. Well done film not in the normal set up for a Hammer film which helps make it more fun to see. A real classic vampire film.Night Creatures is a swashbuckling pirate movie based on the tales of the Scarecrow of Romney Marsh. Disney was also doing a version with Patrick McGoohan in the lead. Peter Cushing is in that role here and as usual he does an excellent job. The film is not a horror movie but is a good action movie from Hammer who did several of these.Paranoic and Nightmare are excellent examples of the Psycho genre of film. Both of them are in black and white and I enjoy them very much. Both deserve a viewing and I believe you will want to look up Hammer's other titles of this sort they made more than a few.

A blu-ray bargain
Quite a good price and region free for those who collect physical media and want to add more British hammer horror to their library. And made before mobile phones and computers were even invented, which is rather appealing to certain people.
