Synopsis:

The Hammer House Of Horror - Complete Collection contains the entire run of the "Hammer House Of Horror" television series from Hammer Studios. Episodes in the four-disc DVD box set include: "The Silent Scream", "Carpathian Eagle", "Witching Time", "The House That Bled to Death", plus many more. Appearing in the chilling tales are Peter Cushing, Brian Cox, Pierce Brosnan, Denholm Elliott, Sian Phillips and Gareth Thomas, among others.

Hammer's trademark gothic style permeates this suspenseful thriller, considered one of the acclaimed British studio's superior efforts, thanks largely to the directorial skills of Peter Sasdy. This marked his last feature-length collaboration with the studio until 1980, when he returned to direct installments of the Hammer House of Horror television series. In the film's prologue, young Anna, the infant daughter of the notorious Jack the Ripper, witnesses her mother's brutal murder at her father's hands. Years later, the lovely teenage Anna (Angharad Rees) is plagued by traumatic memories of the incident and repressed impulses in which love and death are inextricably linked. These impulses finally turn homicidal when her emotions are stirred, spelling doom for anyone who arouses her. Anna's case is handled by the repressed psychoanalyst, Dr. Pritchard (Eric Porter), whose growing physical attraction to the girl could result in far worse than a mere breach of professional ethics. Sasdy weaves the psychological elements through the story with finesse, paralleling the sexual tension between the doctor and his patient with the mounting horror of the inevitable outcome.

Hammer House of Horror is one of the best horror series ever broadcast on television. With the master of horror, Peter Cushing, as the star, its finesse was assured from the start. Grotesque and sinister, many episodes curdle the blood. This is not for the faint hearted. From Satanic nightmares to houses literally bleeding to death, Hammer House of Horror has it all and presents us with a vivid picture of real fear. Your worst nightmares come true in each episode. Screen siren Diana Dors complements Peter Cushing's demonic demonstrations in the scariest series you are ever likely to see. Hold on to your hearts for this series is bound to make you scream.
