    hammer horror

    i,ve got a very nostalgic place in my heart for the old hammer classics of the 50,s and 60,s. they scared me to death as a kid every friday night on tv. i would go to bed and hide under the covers. this new release from hammer onto dvd will not dissappoint their legion of fans.it,s very atmospheric with good pacey direction from john gilling with the always excellent micheal ripper enjoying a larger than usual role in the film. i enjoyed it immensly, unfortunately this is no friday 13th and todays horror buffs may find it very dated. this is for fans of the old hammer studios only.worth a look.
