The old British horror studio which last drew a scream way back in the 70s has been re-opened by a Dutch producer, John de Mol.
The old Hammer horror films are fondly remembered by fans and they made stars of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee as Van Helsing and Dracula respectively. They also brought to life countless other classic horror stories like The Mummy, The Wolf-Man and Frankenstein’s Monster.
The Hammer label could breathe a bit of forgotten class into modern day horror flicks, which are perhaps bordering a bit close to gratuitous violence and sex due to Eli Roth and the new wave or gorenography. Not that there’s anything wrong with violence and sex, of course. (I hope you’re not reading this, God)
