I had most of these films on DVD-R..however after reading your review I am more inclined to add this set to my already bloated collection of discs. I must reexamine Two Faces once more as you point out screening a beuatiful print can make a difference in appreciation to be sure. The Gorgon is an acquired taste and the special effects were never a strong selling point with Hammer...THE DEVIL RIDES OUT would have been a masterpiece if they had a real budget for effects, I will always love it anyway.. I look forward to your next review which I hope is soon Cheers David Del Valle wonderfull work Mark! very insightful review about Hammer’s place in not only film history but in the hearts and minds of it’s followers.

The Gorgon has always been a favorite of mine, but Scream of Fear and Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll are both among the very best of Hammer. I couldn't agree more about Christopher Lee's performance in Jekyll, it certainly is one of his best. This was a great review!

It is sad that today's gore crowd has totally forgotten that style and visuals, tastefully executed have more power than bucketfuls of blood and meat hooks. I think I'm not alone when I say it is these great little movies from Hammer that, like Universal of old, will more than stand the test of time!
