Title: Your favorite hammer film. Post by: Svengoolie 3 on September 21, 2018, 04:00:24 PM This is not a "best hammer film" thread. It's a "Your favorite hammer film" thread. So there are no right or wrong answers here. (Well, ok, if you say your favorite hammer film was "The satanic rights of dracula" we'll all know you're just being a f---ing troll. :wink:)
I have to go with "Quatermass and the pit", aka "5 million years to earth" in 'murca. Damn good SF horror blend with some interesting ideas. Title: Re: Your favorite hammer film. Post by: dcj2112 on September 21, 2018, 04:23:17 PM Thanks for comforting me in being a fellow Hammer Film fan :)
I’d have to go with the Horror of Dracula so far. My opinion might change as I watch more Hammer Films, but I love how this one has a dude fighting Dracula within the first 10 minutes or so. It’s so metal! One could only imagine how audiences felt in the 1950s when every film seemed to spend so much time building up to the hero fighting nether monster.

In general though, my favourite Hammer series tended to be the ones with Peter Cushing playing Baron Frankenstien.

Title: Re: Your favorite hammer film. Post by: RCMerchant on September 26, 2018, 10:22:56 AM That's a pretty tough question when I think about it.
FRANKENSTEIN MUST BE DESTROYED is my favorite Hammer Peter Cushing movie, then the's TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA, which I really love, and ONE MILLION YEARS BC is my favorite prehistoric movie (and it's got Raquel Welch!). But the VAMPIRE LOVERS (1970 and TWINS OF EVIL (1971) are my favorites. The VAMPIRE LOVERS may seem slow to some...but t really does have the same-I dunno-feel-of Le Fanu's 'Carmilla'. And Ingrid Pitt. And Peter Cushing. And lesbian vampires. (https://i.imgur.com/uqcFcci.jpg) (https://lunapic.com) |
