Hammer films, good looking people
Say what you will about Hammer films, but they knew a lot about:
-- casting good looking people;
-- good scripts and directors;
-- costuming;
-- cinamatography;
-- basically, how to make a (short) movie that will bring in box office.
As for acting, well, no comment. (Except for Christopher Lee in other Hammer films, of course.)
I've come to these conclusions after watching the excellent Hammer films of Christopher Lee this week, and being bored by this one.
