Afraid not haven't watch it but just google it and looks interesting how is it

A different actress plays She in both films. The sequel is not very highly rated but I enjoyed them both and have the books that they are based on. Think of her as an Aryan queen in a land of African slaves. A deity in human form.

Another great thing about Hammer films, they are not infected with political correctness. The Hammer House of Horror TV series in the early 80s was pretty good too.

The really good movies were from 1950's to 1970's so no pc police around the studio die off pretty fast i think there was a couple of movies done in the 80's and 90's Vampirella being one

Vampire Circus (1972). Creature double feature. Saturday afternoons WPHL17 Philadelphia. Good times.

I think my first viewing of the femme fatales on screen was through the hammer horror films.

I thought there was a bit of lameness to it compared to US stuff though.

I thought nipple-showing was not allowed with Hammer, and only the continental horrors showed them?

One of my favorites, a macho Aryan character fighting Vampires in continental Europe! Behold Captain Kronos!

Women were a lot prettier back then.

No, there are plenty of breast and lesbo scenes in the vampire films. Three favourites of mine that form the 'Karstein' trilogy are: The Vampire Lovers (1970), Lust for a Vampire (1971) and Twins of Evil (1971). They are even better than the Dracula films in my opinion.

Nemesis88 2017-07-23 13:16:31 UTC #31

Yes, they looked like real women.

It is speculated that Captain Kronos was an unofficial continuation of the Karstein trilogy-The Vampire Lovers, Lust for a Vampire and Twins of Evil.

That is part of the charm. They are not vulgar or overly graphic and a product of a time that is sadly long gone.

I completely forgot about Quatermass and the Pit (or Five Million Years to Earth if you caught it on US tv like me back in the day)! Great blend of science fiction and horror; saw it as a kid and never forgot the creepy visuals at the film's conclusion. Anything written by Nigel Kneale is worth checking out!

A good film but quite slow moving in places I thought.

Some of the only horror films I will allow my wife to watch.

Absolutely timeless. Taste The Blood of Dracula was a favourite growing up and remains so for nostalgic reasons, even though I can acknowledge it's definitely not the best of their offerings (I'd have to give this to one of their more cultish, non monster horror films).

I think the only really terrible one I ever watched was one of the Mummy sequels... can't recall the name but something more related to magic than a shambling guy wrapped in gauze.

I've got a soft spot for Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter.

And anything with Ingrid Pitt...drool.

You will like Countess Dracula (1971) then.

I don't remember bare boobs in those films, just cleavage...
