First of all let's look at the price and the disks. It comes out to about $4.50 per movie. A very good price. But you get so much more than just a movie. Most of the disks contain outstanding extras like cast interviews, a making of the movie documentary, etc. It is more than I have ever gotten buying a single Hammer film for more money. The transfer quality is the best I have ever seen. These are the original UK releases not the US versions which sometimes were altered.As to the selection of what movies are included, I have no idea what the criteria was. It does not include most of their best films. I don't know if they were choosing what they though were less seen films, less purchased films, etc. There are several films included that I have never seen and I'm a fairly serious horror collector. One delight is The Nanny with Betty Davis.I do have one complain with the set which will not put most off. I don't hear as well as others and I rely a lot on subtitles and these disks have none. That seems rather cheap for the cost and if you look at single disks of these films, most do have subtitles.I would recommend this collection to any collector of horror films.I missed my big chance several years back. It was during the time that Hammer went dark and it appeared that Hammer films had come to an end. There was a small UK Hammer site that offered EVERY movie that Hammer ever made to that point. At the time I did not know how to play Region 2 movies in the US and it was fairly expensive, so I passed. The worst buying decision I have ever made. I would think some would show up used for huge prices but I have never seen it for sale again.However, there is NO ECUSE for there not being a region 1 release. Typical British snobery. They stll belive there is is a British Emire that ones a 5th of the work. They can sink in to ocean for all I care. A total contry of snobs.
