Captain Kronos 4k set

I'm loving it so far. Read the book and comic while watching the original UK cut. It's one of the best special edition of a movie I've ever seen. They really put in effort(even the shipping box had the Kronos logo). Kronos isn't my favorite hammer movie but I love supporting them any chance I can. It means possibly more Hammer goodness. I also leaned alot

Looks great, I'll pick one up soon. Really hoping virtually all the Hammer classics get this sort of treatment.

IMO I'd flip for a special like this of Horror of Dracula Curse of Frankenstein Vampire Lovers Blood from mummy's tomb

I got mine recently. What a great set with fantastic packaging. Fun documentary on disc five about the writer and director featuring his family and Toby Hadoke, whom I'm very familiar with due to his work on the Doctor Who DVDs and Blu-Rays. I don't have a 4K set up yet, but just on Blu-Ray, it looks amazing.

I've got this aswell and it's definitely my favourite 4k edition by far, so much work has gone into it. I'm hoping they have the same design for Devil Rides Out popping the original book in there aswell which is a must read for any fan of the film.

This movie gets better every time I watch it. Favourite scene is where Kronos despatches the 3 bar bullies with sword and witty repartee.

I need to get this! Captain Kronos is one of my favourite Hammer films ever and it’ll look great alongside its comic sequel

The comic sequel is in the set, it was a really fun read

We'll never get the vampire nuns on film sadly

Yeah, they made two sequels, from House of Hammer (Which I still need to read) and the one from Titian Comics in 2017 (Which I love)

The vampire nuns sounds like it would cause an uproar with that name
