Interesting observations on the film. I find one of the problems with the horror genre is it tries to capture the "look" of a generation or even say subculture by presenting it in a way that is perceived by the director which is not always accurate. Look at all the Goth or Punk types in horror films.
Hammer hair was an attempt at the post new wave look as filtered through to the middle upper class. Failure at the time, a failure now. Instead, directors should go for a look less dated. Think ahead. This is comming from someone who is a fan of Pinhead. Not sure if the hammer bit follows the book but it could be presented in a better way while maintaining the hammer theme. Who wants to waste the blood after all. Blunt force trauma works until draining the victim.
One last thing, the actress wasn't believable or even likeable. I found her screen presence annoying at best.
