Hammer have taken a lot of stick recently but seem to have pulled out all the stops on this one, yes it is not demo quality but i think it is the best it will ever look or sound and well worth every penny for this Blu Ray release.
Totally agree tele! Having seen the BFI restoration a couple of years ago at the cinema, I opted for the 2012 Hammer restoration - and it looks superb. This is no Curse Of Frankenstein controversy / disappointment, this is the real deal.

Oh and just in case anyone's in any doubt, Christopher Lee IS Dracula!
