Hammer movies had that dark gothic horror that's unbeatable . No scatty teenagers driving fast cars , no boring repetitive story lines, no excess gore . Just good acting and suspense.
I am a big fan of these old 1960s and very very early 1970s vampire movies. I also like the style of these movies with the color, dress, style and acting. Very spooky and well done. Much much better than today’s horror films. It was pure class when these were made. I also liked Dark Shadows with Barnabus Collins at Collinwood too. I miss this old style of filmmaking.
I pay for sky movies and Netflix, yet, I still find myself searching for the old British horror movies all the time. We all aspire to as elegant as the brilliant British.
The Kiss of the Vampire (1963), aka Kiss of Evil, Hammer Film Productions. Director: Don Sharp Write/Producer: Anthony Hinds Starring: Edward de Souza, Jennifer Daniel, Clifford Evans, Barry Warren, Noel Willman.
old school vampire movie flicks are always the best ones to watch because they capture the true essence of what it takes to create a classic example of what it means to truly say the word horror in excellent pictures .
Gosh these horror films remind me of my childhood. Simply the best and damn good acting and suspense! Besides a few good action films and documentaries made recently, I find myself watching films from the 1930's(even earlier) into the early 2000's.
"You stay in the open car in the middle of Transylvania, with its wolves, bears, bandits, and vampires. You'll be perfectly safe." Good old tacky Hammer Films!
They sure don't make them like they use to anymore...those were the days. Thank you Hammer Films for the memories and it was a fun watching your films with popcorn and beverage in the dark.
Love the old horrors.....with their gothic atmospheric charm, uncomplicated storytelling,...done with a warmth and honesty,.that's sadly lost in so many modern day chillers....miss those wonderful times
Nothing better than English Gothic Horror in my book ! Great sets and locations great acting and good looking hammer babes. At 56 I still love these as much as when I was 10 year old kid ~
