1.Dracula: Prince of Darkness (Ws) starring: Christopher Lee, Barbara Shelley, Andrew Keir, Francis Matthews, Suzan Farmer directed by: Terence Fisher September 10, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.25
Vampires & More! 20 Movie Pack Dracula, prince of darkness was directed by Terence Fisher, who had guided Christopher Lee through his first performance as the blood-thirsty count. Yhis film was the first NOT to feature Dracula's nemesis Van Helsing(played by Peter Cushing). Instead vamoire-fighting expertise was supplied by Andrew Kier in the role of Father Shandor. Like Van Helsing, Shandor despises blind superstition, but recognizes the forces of evil and respects their power. Dracula, Prince of Darkness, is in many ways a different sort of film from Hammer's, Horror of Dracula. Rather than jumping right into the expected vampiric activities, this film, takes its time introducing and developing its new characters before the revival of Dracula. Along with Shandor, the film's featured ... Read More

2.Rasputin: Mad Monk (Ws) starring: Christopher Lee, Barbara Shelley, Richard Pasco, Francis Matthews, Suzan Farmer directed by: Don Sharp September 10, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.77
Whilst this isn't a classic a Hammer film by any means, it does make for strangely compelling viewing. The film was obviously made on a very small budget, and I suspect it was filmed soon after Dracula: Prince of Darkness as the cast is very similiar and some of the same sets look the same. Rasputin is a drinker and womaniser who has healing powers. Using these he becomes the trusted Doctor to the Zsars wife. However his motives are suspect.. Christopher Lee plays the title role (based on a real historical person and in part true) and is the best and worst thing about the film. Without Lee's screen presence this simply wouldn't have worked. However in places I found his performance a little over the top (dare I say even a little hammy). In the UK on region 2 this is available as part ... Read More

5.Die Monster Die starring: Boris Karloff, Nick Adams, Freda Jackson, Suzan Farmer, Patrick Magee directed by: Daniel Haller March 07, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.95
Released in 1965 Die, Monster, Die was one of Karloff's last movies and at the time thanks to Roger Corman, Karloff was having a resurgence of his brilliant career. The title of the movie makes it sound like some silly monster movie and had this been made a decade earlier it probably would have been (not that it would be a bad thing). But for the most part Die, Monster, Die is played straight, which is good, but does hurt the final act a bit. While Die, Monster, Die may not go down as one of Karloff's best pictures it's still a solid movie in his career, which in my opinion no horror actor can come anywhere near the level of brilliance Boris Karloff reached. Karloff was one of those gifted actors that could take an average movie and make it better and always brings a touch of class to the movie. Die, Monster, Die is one of those movies ... Read More

6.633 Squadron starring: Cliff Robertson, George Chakiris, Maria Perschy, Harry Andrews, Donald Houston directed by: Walter Grauman
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $33.10
My reason for obtaining this movie was to see the Mosquito fighter-bomber in action. The flying footage was spectacular until you get to the bombing sequence. Unfortunately, special effects of the Sixties were no where near what it is today in 2008. The bombers were obviously models that were destroyed by set explosive charges. When they were able to deliver the bombs, they always hit the same location. They saved money by using the same sequence. Some would criticize the overuse of today's computer special effects, but it would have helped this movie a lot. Unfortunately, it wouldn't help the storyline and the acting was half-hearted. The flying Mosquitoes are the only high point.
