I enjoyed "Mary Shelly's Frankenstein" and "Sleepy Hollow"....they were very "Hammer-esq"....it would be so cool to see remakes of "Quatermas and the Pit", "The Gorgon", "Plague of the Zombies" and "The Devil Rides Out"....maybe a new Dracula and Frankenstein series...or some of those projects they planned but never made. As far as the attitude that they "just want our money" or whatever....well, I hope you all enjoy the "Friday the 13th" remake...jeeezz!

I hope you enjoy the Hammer movies that aren't Hammer movies.

Funny that this is counted as a virtue, it's usually a drawback.

I've never watched a movie and thought, I almost didn't like that production, thank god the fast editing saved it.

Well, I know what you mean...it was always so sad they left I can't help but hope for something. Maybe these new people are fans (they probably are) and so what we'll have are sort of "homages"...I'm open...for now....if they screw up...I'll shut down....

I know I usually take the cynical approach to subjects... but I really doubt these new guys are fans of older hammer. If they were they wouldn't be doing this.

Me neither. I'm most likely going to just ignore this one.

I can't believe I haven't heard of this...and I'm intrigued.
