Awesome steel
Amazing looking steelbook here. The artwork is top notch along with an incredibly glossy finish. Get this one into a protective sleeve immediately if you don't want it covered in fingerprints! The title on the front is a fantastic metallic crimson.

Steel-tastic
I have wanted to add Dracula: Prince of Darkness to my bluray collection for sometime but was enticed to do so with the Zavvi exclusive steelbook version. Needless to say the bluray transfer and the excellent extras are worthy but the superb steelbook itself is a work of art. For Hammer fans and lovers of good British Cinema.

DRACULAAAAAAA!!!
There's only one Dracula.........Christopher Lee! And in this, Prince of Darkness, he only appears after about 50 mins, and he doesnt say a word in this movie. He just commands the screen with his presence, his bloodshot glare, bared fangs, and his awesomeness! Christopher Lee may not have liked to be remembered by, and reminded of, his Dracula films, but.........too late. Thats what happens when you do a bang-up-job! And all his fans are grateful for that, for sure. This film wont be for your modern day CGI infected youth, but for us brought up in Hammer's hey day, its a must have. Steelbook? Faultless! Nice gloss finish with the title in a kind of metallic, shimmering red. You've done it again Zavvi. MORE CLASSIC HAMMER HORROR STEELBOOKS, PLEASE ZAVVI!!

Hammer's Dracula: Prince Of Darkness
Firstly the steelbook; It is presented in a nice glossy finish which shows the late and lamented (Sir) Christopher Lee in a commanding way in, probably, his most iconic role, although he always felt that his portrayal of Lord Summerilse in "The Wicker Man" was his best. As far as the film is concerned this was the second "outing" of Hammer's version of the eponymous vampire Count after "Dracula" which was released in 1958. In America the film was titled "The Horror Of Dracula". This was, I believe, because it would have infringed American copyright with the original "Universal" Bela Lugosi version from the thirties of the same name. I could stand corrected here by those who are more conversant than I on this film.... so replies on a postcard if i've got that wrong. It still has a very creepy feel to it especially with the menacing music composed by James Bernard. The restoration is first class complete with that "Hammer" look about it and there are lots of lovely "extra's". It was quite a bold and bloodthirsty film for its day, remember it was released in 1966, but by today's standards maybe not quite so much as it is rated 15. On its release at the cinema (there was no such thing as DVD, Blu-ray, downloading or even VHS home entertainment in those days) it was rated an "X" certificate which would equate to an "18" now. Unlike the first film it was presented in "Techniscope" which is roughly eqivalent to "Panavision" with regards to its wider aspect ratio. All in all a great package, and even at the grand old age of 64 it still gives me the creeps. A typical atmostpheric production as "Hammer" used to do well in those far off days of the late fifties through to the early seventies.

Dracula Prince Of Darkness
Awesome bluray steelbook. The cover is beautifully crafted with a picture of the late great Christopher lee on the front. The movie itself is something to behold with hammer gothic atmosphere, vibrant costumes and colours this is up there with the best . A truly stunning print with great extras. Any horror fan should have this beauty in their collection.
