1.Quatermass Xperiment starring: Brian Donlevy, Jack Warner, Margia Dean, Thora Hird, Gordon Jackson directed by: Val Guest December 05, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $17.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $7.00
Released in 1955, "Quatermass Xperiment" is a creepy, horrifying masterpiece of science fiction. What is the Quatermass Experiment? Professor Barnard Quatermass sends three British astronauts into the far reaches of the galaxy for observations. Their rocket crash lands on earth and only one astronaut, Victor Caroon, remains on board. Empty space suits of the other two are immediately found. Escaping from the hospital, Caroon attacks and absorbs plants, animals, and humans. Each time he feeds, he mutates into a creature that is a composite of all its victims until it finally resembles a shapeless glob with numerous tentacles. Brian Donlevy does a superb job as Quatermass. However, in "Quatermass Xperiment," Quatermass is more ruthless and less compassionate than his ... Read More

2.Quatermass & The Pit (Ws Spec) starring: James Donald, Andrew Keir, Barbara Shelley, Julian Glover, Duncan Lamont directed by: Roy Ward Baker October 15, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $60.00
"Quatermass and the Pit" is the most exciting science fiction/horror hybrid I've seen from Hammer Productions. The plot is intricate, exciting and thought provoking; it offers extremely unique theories of man's origin on earth. Professor Quatermass (Andrew Keir of "Dracula: Prince of Darkness") is investigating what first appears to be an unexploded bomb found during the construction of a subway line. Upon further examination, he learns that it is an alien spacecraft that is over five million years old. The identity of its crewmembers is quite disturbing. Worse of all, the spacecraft appears to have a life of its own. Pandemonium breaks out in London as the spacecraft takes possession of men's bodies and souls, turning them into killing machines that can't be stopped. ... Read More

i'd honestly waited and read about this film for years . i know it's a very good picture , however , i'm so glad i rented this disc rather than spent the rediculus sums asked for it here and elsewhere . if you are deaf , if you have hearing loss (like myself) , if you're not british (like me) , if you must sometimes play the volume rather low in consideration of other people in your home , if you simply enjoy reading the screenplay as you watch a film (like me) , be WARNED . this film is not only not encoded with closed captions , nor does it have subtitles for the hearing impaired or deaf . know this when you buy this product , and you can make an informed decision . i tried to follow the first fifteen to twenty minutes of this beautifully shot and acted film . what on earth are they saying ? it actually matters ...

5.Quatermass 2 starring: Brian Donlevy, John Longden, Sid James, Bryan Forbes, William Franklyn directed by: Val Guest March 23, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $13.54
Professor Barnard Quatermass (Brian Donlevy of "Gamera the Invincible") returns in "Quatermass 2," the sequel to Hammer Production's "The Quatermass Xperiment." This classic science fiction horror masterpiece is as excellent, if not superior, as the original. Professor Quatermass appears to have mellowed since we first met him; he displays more compassion towards his fellow man. Professor Quatermass learns that meteorites of uniform size and shape are falling at regular intervals and landing in a particular site. Upon further investigation, he learns the landing site is near a top secret government facility that contains huge domes. He is told that synthetic food is stored in these domes? Synthetic food for whom . . . or what? The true nature of this facility is being kept a secret by a government conspiracy ... Read More

6.Brides of Dracula starring: Peter Cushing, Martita Hunt, Yvonne Monlaur, Freda Jackson, David Peel directed by: Terence Fisher May 02, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.98
Brides of Dracula was the first of Hammer's many sequels to their breakthrough hit, and it's not just the best of the series but one of their very best pictures. There's no Christopher Lee this time round - in fact, there's no Dracula at all - but there's a lot of imagination at play here in a beautifully plotted story that sees Peter Cushing's Van Helsing coming up against David Peel's Baron Meinster, a follower of Dracula's vampire cult, after Yvonne Monlaur's schoolteacher ill-advisedly releases him from the shackles his not-as-mad-as-she-looks mother keeps him in. There's a lot going on beneath the stylish surface here - a psychiatrist could probably have a field day with the curious relationship between Peel and Martita Hunt ("We pray for death, both of us. At least, I hope he prays"), not to mention Van Helsing's visible ... Read More

7.Phantom of the Opera (1962) starring: Herbert Lom, Heather Sears, Thorley Walters, Michael Gough, Edward de Souza directed by: Terence Fisher May 02, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $12.49
I must admit that 'The Phantom of the Opera' has never been my favorite horror film. This Hammer version in very short which is a good thing but, it really just lays there and does nothing. It's an OK watch for us old horror fans but, it is not the best version of this film and I rate it 2 1/4 stars. Amazingly, the silent version starring Lon Chaney has never been surpassed. Forget about paying top dollar for an old VHS tape. This is available on DVD with 7 other Hammer Horror films. The DVD transfer is very good and you can pick it up cheap, about half the price of what second market sellers are asking for this one film on VHS. It's called Hammer Horror series and has a picture of Oliver Reed's Werewolf on the cover.

9.Curse of Werewolf starring: Clifford Evans, Oliver Reed, Yvonne Romain, Catherine Feller, Anthony Dawson directed by: Terence Fisher May 02, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.54
I saw this movie when I was 16 years old and I never forgot it. I went back to the theatre several times because I enjoyed it so much. When I was older, I rented the movie to see if it was as really as good as I recalled it to be. I was just as impressed with it when I was 30 as I was when I was 16. I can still say(and I am 59 years old) tthis was the best horror film I ever saw and definitely the one I thought was most memorable in my life. It was all due to the fantastic color and acting. I have seen other movies with Oliver Reed and Yvonne Romain and I can say that they were my favorites in the horror film industry. Oliver Reed in anything was fun to watch.

10.Frankenstein & The Monster From Hell starring: Peter Cushing, Shane Briant, Madeline Smith, David Prowse, John Stratton directed by: Terence Fisher November 11, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.49
This one was a little different from the prior Cushing Frankenstein entries in that the monster was a little updated and certainly a more sympathetic creature. But he could still tear up the dickens when he was displeased! It takes place as a young Baron Frankenstein devotee, a competent and youthful-looking surgeon, is arrested by a buffoon of a constable for sorcery and is tossed into an insane asylum. And guess who's really running the nuthouse? Baron Frankenstein (Cushing)! The Baron rescues the young doctor from a certain life of Hell and allows him to become the facility physician, giving the Baron more time to experiment with his creature. This Frankenstein monster, by the way, gets the brain of a musical and mathematical genius... but, Alas! It becomes flawed because the Neanderthal body in which the Baron has inserted it begins ...
