PATRICK
I've always loved this one and it has never looked better than on Severin's Blu ray edition. Apparently, the central role was originally intended for Jenny Agutter, but I'm glad it went to Susan Penhaligon. She's a very natural actress and gives another great performance here.
FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL
Terence Fisher's direction and some splashes of ( then ) modern gore make for an interesting final outing for Hammer's Baron. Not classic Hammer, but the asylum setting and the grim tone are rather apt considering it was pretty much the end of an era.Terrific looking print too.
