Anyone like the Hammer Frankenstein movies

I think that even a "bad" Hammer film is better than today's CGI garbage. At least Hammer films have great character development, pretty good writing, and absolutely the most beautiful, haunting sets, scenery and music.

My all-time favorite Hammer films are a three-way tie between "The Satanic Rites of Dracula", "Quartermass and the Pit" and "Blood from the Mummy's Tomb". But, I'm not familiar with most of the Hammer Frankenstein flicks.

Horror of Frankenstein is a real misfire, which I don't consider a legitimate part of the Hammer Frankenstein series. The original entries with Peter Cushing as Baron Frankenstein are masterworks of the Gothic cinema. The first in the series, director Terence Fisher's Curse of Frankenstein, is one of the richest and the only one to utilize elements of Mary Shelley's novel. In my opinion, Fisher's Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed and Revenge of Frankenstein are the outstanding best of the series. Fisher's Frankenstein Created Woman is a thematically interesting experiment with considerable dramatic strength. Freddie Francis' Evil of Frankenstein lacks Fisher's vision but is a fun, visually splendid movie which pays homage to such Universal classics as Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man and House of Frankenstein. Fisher's last film, Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell, was dismissed at the time but marked an admirable return to Hammer's Gothic origins following a period of uncertain gimmickry.

Evil of Frankenstein has yet to see release on DVD which is a pity because the widescreen film has always suffered badly on standard-screen video. Also missing from DVD is Dracula A.D. 1972. These are the only two of Hammer's famous Frankenstein and Dracula series not available on DVD.

I agree that Quatermass and the Pit and Blood from the Mummy's Tomb are among the best of Hammer's later films, and I'm glad to see someone stick up for the thrilling Satanic Rites of Dracula.

All of the Hammer movies I have enjoyed - especially with Peter Cushing and Cristopher Lee.
The sets are fantastic - much better than the junk we see today.

BLASPHEMER! BLASPHEMER! STONE HIM! STONE HIM! eraserhd79, I'm now pointing at you and making the sound that Donald Sutherland and the others who were turned, made in the Invasion of the Body snatchers remake.

I just also want to add to the other enjoyable things of Hammer film already said, like the atmosphere and the Gothic period. I will add the cleavage. Oh, yes, let's not forget the Hammer cleavage!

I'm watching the Horror of Frankenstein right now, so let me get back to it. Hey, if you guys have a Roku device get the Cryptic-TV channel, they have at least two Hammer Films that I've seen so far, but I just started going through this channel, so I don't know if there are more, but there are a lot of other horror films. What's also nice is that the movies I've watched, only had commercials before they started, but no commercial breaks during them.

I prefer the Hammer Dracula films, but the Hammer Frankenstein series is stronger and holds up better. Hammer did better by Frankenstein than Dracula.

They're good, but I prefer the Dracula films for some reason. This particular Frankenstein film I found a bit disturbing in places.
