Most overrated?
Hammer's "Dracula".
Groundbreaking once for sure with a (for then) nicely erotic/fangy Drac and a nice twist on Van Helsing by a top form Cushing.

Mostly drab now though as a film in its own right, with a stupid self-inflicted plot hole and other weak, silly changes and an overall awful adaptation of Stoker's novel.

Can't argue with THE WICKER MAN being top dog.
You've got good taste.

Nicolas Cage's performance was unbelievable.LOL

Yup :thumb:
Kinda reminded me of Ills.

How come people like The Wicker Man so much? :dance:

:lol::lol::lol:

Nice to see Freak has included my fave Hammer flicks in his top 20, Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell, The Satanic Rites of Dracula and Twins of Evil.I've also got a soft spot for The Vampire Lovers as it was the first horror movie I ever saw.That reminds me I must pick up the Optimum disc at some point, anyone know whether it's fully uncut?

Yes it's the fully restored and uncut print. First time in the UK.
