DIE BRAUT DES TEUFELS 😈 HAMMER HORROR HAPPEN #review #filmsammlung #retro #mediabook

Hammer, do you ask your doctor or pharmacist about risks and side effects? Or do you listen to us? Hammer Horror is on time. Listen, after a short break we are now with you weekly again and provide you with bloody horror food. Today, The Devil's Bride from 1968 with Charles Cray and Christopher Lee as its antagonists. This film was never shown in a German cinema because of censorship, but found its premiere in 1990 with the fantastic film of the ZDF. The novel for The Devil's Bride was delivered by Dennis Wheatley, a war veteran of the First World War, who is almost unknown here in Germany. What is it about in this late Hammer film? A nobleman fights against a satan sect on the English land, which has its roots in South Africa. Christopher Lee in a supporting role as a cool, distant nobleman and Charles Cray plays a diabolical leader of a satan sect. In addition, there is a pinch of eroticism, one or two goats that are sacrificed and that's it. The film was cooked up by Hammer Studios at the end of the 60s. The freedom took its course slowly, but also the good screenplays were slowly coming to an end and Terence Fisher, one of the last great directors, led this production. And you feel that, you notice that. And that's why this film is definitely worth being included in a collection. Also in this film you see many well-known faces as co-stars or among the extras. Hammer was very loyal to his extras and small actors. So they always had an income over many years. And I really appreciate Hammer for that. One reason why the film did not go to the German cinemas I found in a horror lexicon. There it is said that the film had a premiere in the same year when Sharon Tate was murdered by satanists. All in all, the film is emotionally staged. You notice the strong hand of director Terence Fisher, a man of the first hour at Hammer. And of course the film lives through its main character, especially Christopher Lee and Charles Grey. I give the film 8 out of 10 Hammer points or drops of blood. Who knows, that's it for Hammer Horror Hub next week. Let's cook blood again. Until then, thumbs up and bye. Translated by https://otter.ai
