My rating: 8/10
Will I watch it again? Yes.
This is a must watch for any horror fan. I've seen every Hammer horror film and some of them multiple times. This excellent documentary covers the history of the studio from the beginning to its sad end with most of their horror films covered. The real treat, besides being narrated by Cushing (who died the same year) and Lee is the amazing amount of people who worked in front of and behind the camera for the studio in its heyday. It's a fascinating look into the foremost horror movie making machine.
