HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I really gotta rewatch the whole series. The only one I've seen more than once is Frankenstein Created Woman, which owns. It's the only one I ever feel much urge to revisit. Cushing does all the heavy lifting in the others and they don't have the hooks that the Dracula flicks, for example, have. The Hammer Dracula are just overflowing with ideas, the Frankensteins, Created Woman notwithstanding, have one great character and not much else.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:And those Mummy movies. I want to like them so bad. Every time I watch the Mummy, I'm like man that's a really cool idea/image/whatever one minute then a minute later I realize I zoned out and started doing the dishes or something. I am at a total loss to explain why I don't like them.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I know exactly why I don't like them - they establish a mood that they don't sustain, which is something crucial that otherwise mediocre movies manage to exploit. The Terror, for example, is not a great movie by any stretch but it is very moody. Those Mummy movies are just dull. That's a good point, and it's the best thing about, for a directly comparable and mediocre comparison, The Gorgon. It knows exactly what it's doing and really sells this dreary, almost claustrophobic fall atmosphere that compliments the story perfectly.
