this is a boxset i like olso i like horrorclasics so i recomemned the
boxset to ol the horrorfans is well

Whilst some of the films in this boxset are not amongst Hammers best it is an extremely good collection.
I already owned almost half of the titles on region 1 but these discs are much better quality. The picture is clearer, the colour more vibrant and the sound's crisper.
If you're a Hammer fan you simply must own this set. I was lucky enough to get in in a sale for ??35 which is incredibly good value.
If you've been considering buying this set, stop dithering and get on with it. You won't regret it.

What a treasure from Hammer, this little gem is pure pleasure AND value for money, two comments that rarely go hand in hand! If you are a fan, buy this box set - less than ??50 why miss out on the classics!

You certainly get a lot of Hammer for your money, and even the less well known titles are still worth watching for novelty value. The presentation of the discs in its fold-out box is a joy to behold and overall the picture and sound quality is superb. The extras, too, are interesting in themselves and are not just filler. But - you could tell there was a 'but' coming, couldn't you? - a couple of films have had their aspect ratios altered.

If you already own a copy of SHE as a single disc from Studio Canal in their earlier 'Hammer Classics' series, hang on to it. It's presented properly in its original format of 2.35 to 1, whereas now in this boxed set they've changed it to 16:9 anamorphic. You may think this a small thing, but it does produce at least one example where two noses are talking to each other from either edge of the picture!

THE NANNY has also been changed to 16:9 from its original 1.33:1 as presented in Studio Canal's 'British Classics' series. The change matters less in this one, and at least the picture has been cleaned up, but can someone tell me why companies alter these screen sizes when the original ratios are perfectly acceptable?

Other widescreen titles in this set, such as DRACULA PRINCE OF DARKNESS and RASPUTIN THE MAD MONK are presented in their full Cinemascope ratios, and look all the better for it.

I remember enjoying these films so much and just couldn't believe my luck when I found out you could buy the collection.
However, disappointment wasn't the word I used when I found out they have no sub-titles. Yet again (and I am not alone) I have been denied the pleasure of watching these classics again!!
I take it whoever is manufacturing these DVD's have no problem hearing and if that's the case then I hope they continue to have that luxury. A silent world can be quite lonely at the best of times but when we are included it's fantastic!!
I then would have given 5 stars!
