I thought this would be better.
Standard Hammer fare without any of the major Hammer stars. Perfectly adequate, but not much more than that.
I have been a HUGE fan of “The Hammer House Of Horror”, since I was a child. I grew up with their absolutely fabulous GOTHIC HORROR and I miss them, even though they still exist, of a sort. I somehow missed this film, and I am very happy to have had the opportunity to view it now. No one makes films like this anymore, unfortunately. This was another brilliant entry by THHOR.
One of my favorite Hammer titles, because it's violent and atmospheric, but also one of their efforts that best creates some sympathetic characters and interesting plot lines, as opposed to being just another of their umpteen vampire outings.
Great Hammer productuon as usual.
