I am not much of a horror fan, but these richly coloured Ruritanias, dazzlingly clean with picturesque peasants, opulent interiors and vampires, are cinematic heaven to me.Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603054002784395449.post-75345517932077836602010-03-10T09:23:42.495-08:002010-03-10T09:23:42.495-08:00@Connoisseur - Cool I'll check them out as I w...@Connoisseur - Cool I'll check them out as I watch the films.

Including the 'comedies' :-)<br /><br />You should check out their war films - they certainly didn't take the 'gung-ho' angle so many others did at the time. <i><b>Yesterday's Enemy</b></i> and <i><b>Camp on Blood Island</b></i> are both available from Sony in the UK and are well worth getting.

That's why I said it would be cool to see Pitt in a film with Lee as Dracula. I reviewed The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires as well, but hated it. I was told I watched the wrong version, seems I watched the US cut which is supposedly completely different compared to the British one.Snipeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084449549914572738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603054002784395449.post-42302869609892987302010-03-05T12:02:34.250-08:002010-03-05T12:02:34.250-08:00Actually, the did make a horror movie with Ingrid ...Actually, the did make a horror movie with Ingrid Pitt and Peter Cushing! Its one of Hammers Best! Its called The Vampire Lovers...its about a vampire that falls for her female victim..lesbian vampires. Its one of the most atmospheric of the Hammers. And kind of daring sexually. For the time anyways. Highly recommend it. <br /><br />I also enjoy the more cheesy Hammers!

From the few I've seen I think I've enjoyed the ones most people consider Hammer's worst! This is a solid Dracula film, although I would have liked more Dracula, even though they did a good job keeping the film creepy without him. Too bad Hammer never made a Dracula film with Lee and Ingrid Pitt, that would have been Snipeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084449549914572738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603054002784395449.post-6302055735073996652010-03-05T05:22:27.338-08:002010-03-05T05:22:27.338-08:00I think this film is considered one of Hammers bes...I think this film is considered one of Hammers best, because it is one of Hammers best. It has some of the greatest horror moments, it oozes with atmosphere. <br /><br />That scene with the vampire girl walking through the woods holding that innocent little girl by the hand...and then Cushing placing the crucifix on her fore head and burning her! Freaking awesome! By the way, I think that scene Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.com
