Movie Reviews of Hammer House of Horror - The Complete Set
Movie Review: Gets under your skin
Summary: 5 Stars
I've always been a fan of old-school gothic type horror, and have been in love with Hammer's older output for years. I heard good things about this show and decided to check it out. I was initially disappointed to find that these episodes were completely different - horror, yes, but set in the modern day (well, early 80s, anyway) and featuring average people, not mythical heroes like Professor Van Helsing.
But wow... these episodes are creepy! They don't even seem like too much when I'm watching them, but they have this intense way of getting under my skin... and staying there. Some of the episodes are downright disturbing and one even gave me a nightmare - and I can't even remember having even one nightmare in the last decade or so. So if you're looking to be genuinely disturbed and creeped out, then I highly suggest you give "Hammer House of Horror" a try!
Summary of Hammer House of Horror - The Complete Set
Studio: A&e Home Video Release Date: 08/28/2001 Run time: 676 minutes Rating: NrWitches. Deadly nightmares. Werewolves. Dagger-wielding authors. Body-snatching hitchhikers. For American horror buffs, this collection is something of a holy grail: the complete rarely seen 1980 anthology series produced by England's famed Hammer Studios, the masters of their gothic domain. Hammer aficionados will want to start with "The Silent Scream," which stars studio icon Peter Cushing in a terrifying story of captivity and comeuppance. Veteran character actor Denholm Elliott stars as an unhappily married real estate agent in the grips of a recurring nightmare in "Rude Awakening." As for rising stars, that's Pierce Brosnan in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo as Last Victim in "Carpathian Eagle," a story about a homicidal author who beds her victims. More Night Gallery than Twilight Zone, this series recalls Hammer's gory--I mean, glory--days as the premier producer of elegantly disreputable horror films that were a cross between Masterpiece Theatre and Herschell Gordon Lewis. There's nothing campy in this baker's dozen of episodes--just blood, dread, and fears (and a little nudity). --Donald Liebenson
