Hammer vs. Amicus
 

I'm a huge fan of the old British stuff. Who do you think was the better studio of the time, Hammer or Amicus? Hammer definately put out way more than Amicus, but quality wise who's better?

hammer did better films (but they also did some stinkers)

I definitely say Hammer kicked ass

especially the ones starring ms pitt eh?

Hammer Horror.

Hammer was just overall a better film studio.

Yes sir, especially those films :D

Hammer, this is my personal opinion...
Francesco Cortonesi aka deadtoday

The Carmilla based stuff they did is awesome. And Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell. Yeah, Ingrid Pitt, too. But the lady is no Barbara Steele.

but as barbara steele kept away from both studios.....mute point in this discussion

moot :D

and you can shut up :p

hahahaha finally got you :D

I don't remember Barara Steele doing anything in either of these studios. Barbara was hot as was all the Hammer Glamour Gals and some of the actresses at Amicus but they were no Ingrid Pitt IMO!!!!!!! :)

Yeah, you're right. I haven't seen Barbara Steele in anything from Hammer or Amicus. By the way, does anybody know if there's been a DVD set of the Carmilla stuff? My fiancee and I can't find the stuff in most video stores and I've been dying to show her those movies. The only place I've seen everything from Hammer together was while visiting a friend in DC at one of those places that could be assumed to have everything. I sat there testing the guy for forty minutes and found he'd bought the WHOLE Criterion collection. But, as there are no psychotically anal (and awesome) store managers in central PA, I haven't seen heads or tails of them.
