Once there, someone with murderous intent has discovered the means of waking the centuries dead prince... *Scream of Fear* After narrowly surviving an accident in which she nearly drowned, the wheelchair bound Penny Appleby returns home to live with her widowed step-mother Jane on the French Riviera. She begins to question her sanity after several times seeing her father's corpse around the house and its grounds, and enlists the help of the friendly chauffeur Bob while attending Doctor Gerrard acts in a suitably sinister manner. No one is who they seem in this tale of intrigue and suspense. *The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll* Dr. Henry Jekyll experiments with scientific means of revealing the hidden, dark side of man and releases a murderer from within himself. *The Gorgon* In early-twentieth-century middle-Europe, villagers are literally becoming petrified. Although the authorities try to hush the matter up it is apparent that at the full moon, Medusa leaves her castle lair and anyone looking on her face is turned to stone. When this fate befalls a visitor, experts from the University of Leipzig arrive to try and get to the bottom of it all. Though perhaps not as iconic as their Dracula and Frankenstein pictures, this quartet of fright flicks from England's Hammer Films deliver enough Saturday afternoon creature feature thrills to please devotees of the legendary studio's output and vintage horror fans alike. 1964's The Gorgon will be the title to attract the most immediate attention due to the presence of Hammer's biggest stars, Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, in its cast, and its most celebrated director, Terence Fisher, behind the camera. It's an atmospheric and offbeat entry in the Hammer canon, with one of its most unusual villains: a snake-haired fiend from Greek mythology who turns men into stone. Cushing and Lee are typically fine (both are on the side of the angels for once), and the picture's sole stumbling block is the lackluster makeup for its monster. Lee is also present in supporting roles in two other films in the collection: Scream of Fear (1961), one of several competent psychological suspense features made by Hammer in the wake of Psycho, with Susan Strasberg as a fragile young woman plagued by terrible visions and a house full of suspicious types; and Fisher's The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960), a revamp of the Stevenson story with Paul Massie as the dour scientist whose personality experiments unleash a virile but unhinged alter ego. Hardcore Hammer aficionados will be thrilled to discover that the DVD version is uncut and preserves much of the (mildly) salacious material trimmed for its release in America under the title House of Fright. The final film on Icons of Horror is Curse of the Mummy's Tomb, with Hammer exec Michael Carreras (son of company founder James Carreras) behind the camera for a featherweight monster romp that doesn't hold a candle to Terence Fisher's Mummy in 1959. Unlike previous Icons of Horror DVDs, the supplemental features here are slim--just the theatrical trailers for each film--though they do offer their own degree of charm, especially the ballyhoo-heavy tone of Mummy and the oddly elegant and unnerving preview for Scream of Fear, which is centered solely around an image of Strasberg's face. --Paul Gaita Customers who bought this item also bought Fox Horror Classics Collection, Vol. 2 (Dragonwyck / Chandu the Magician / Dr. Renault's Secret) The Picture of Dorian Gray Icons of Adventure Collection (The Pirates of Blood River / The Devil-Ship Pirates / The Stranglers of Bombay / The Terror of the Tongs) The Skull Rodan/War of the Gargantuas Customer Reviews for: Icons of Horror: Hammer Films (2-disc) (The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb / The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll / Scream of Fear / The Gorgon) Rating - Superb Hammer set from Sony. This is a superb Hammer horror DVD set from Sony. The studio is really doing a great job with classic titles at the moment, and this set is a prime example! Four classic Hammer films and a great looking cover (yes, I was one of the fans who voted for it..). Recommended!!! Rating - Good transfers, o.k. movies. The transfers are very good of these movies. The trailers are the only extras. The movies themselves are o.k. nothing that you will want to watch over and over again. Rating - good nonscary monster movies These old Hammer movies are good films, not very scary to today's movie watcher. They all offer interesting takes, especially the Jekyll/Hyde tale. I found them all enjoyable and so did my wife. It is hard to find horror movies we can watch together since she is not a fan. The "Scream of Fear" is a very different Hammer film. It is a suspense mystery with some good twists. It is the only B&W film in the package. Rating - Four horrors from Hammer While Universal succeeded in making horror a successful film genre in the 1930s with their series of flicks featuring Dracula, the Wolf Man and other monsters, by World War Two, its output had declined both in quantity and quality. In fact, in the 1940s, outside of Val Lewton's films (Cat People, I Walked With a Zombie, et al), horror was pretty much a spent genre. In the 1950s, however, Hammer Films in England resurrected horror in a big way, bringing back the Universal monsters in new versions of familiar tales. Peter ...
