Haven't seen it for many years. but I seem to remember it being fun in a kitschy sort of way, with Christopher Lee's presence elevating it somewhat. Kind of like TMWTGG, in other words.carl stromberg wrote:Very interesting read!

Yes, I've seen a few of the comedies on ITV4 and the like, but not the horror films for which they are most famous. I think there was some sort of campaign to get more Hammer horror on TV.carl stromberg wrote:The Hammer films have not been on much lately, apart from On The Buses!
