Hammer Films' 'Captain Kronos' Hits DVD!

[gimpusmons]

Finally, one of my all-time favorites in Hammer's archive gets a restored DVD release. Captain Kronos is a swashbuckling tale of a sword-wielding vampire hunter. It's heaps of fun and recommended to action and horror film fans alike, even if you don't care for other, more stodgy Hammer movies.

I saw my first Hammer film yesterday, The Mummy (1959). I loved it! I don't like the modern horror films but this one I liked. The first thought in my head was that the sets reminded me of the SB sets. Just a bit better. But I like sets, when you know it's a set and not entirely real. Anyway, the production values were great, Peter Cushing was great - although I thought he was Christopher Lee until the credits!:) I'd like to see more of these films, but didn't watch Horror of Dracula (1958) which was on last week. Hopefully they'll show 1 Hammer a week on this channel. Now I finally know what Hammer's all about, but how's the later stuff - more bloody and such?
