Yeah, maybe so, but if I'm not mistaking, those are 4 movies or something for nearly half the price of this one? e.g. HAMMER VOLUME FOUR: FACES OF FEAR - LE

Mill Creek releases are bare bones this 20 film collection is just a repackage of existing releases they have done before no extras
Mill Creek hammer Blu-ray's are lesser picture quality rated from average to bad in comparison to UK powerhouse films releases


Example
The Revenge of Frankenstein (Mill Creek Blu-ray is bad quality - the old columbia DVD release is better)
Powerhouse Films release of The Revenge of Frankenstein is from a New 4K restoration with lot of extras picture and sound quality is fantastic

If you a hammer films fan the powerhouse releases are a must purchase

I will try to pursuit the LE's at some point. Just can't afford it now, sadly enough
Plus the first one is sold out on their site... So will have to do some digging anyway

You can get the standard editions from that box set available from various UK retailers
Same discs that was in the limited edition box set
MANIAC
THE GORGON
THE CURSE OF THE MUMMY'S TOMB
FANATIC

When the limited edition releases sell out Powerhouse do standard editions of each film to purchase separately

 

[Lollard2002]

If you're a Hammer fan purchase either the Anolis pressings from Germany, the Indicator versions from the UK or the ongoing Shout factory pressings but avoid Mill Creek like the plague. They really are the pits when it comes to blu-ray

 

[C.C. 95]

I would image Indicator/Powerhouse would be the ones to get.
Mill Creek has a bad history with anemic bitrates and shoddy picture quality.

 

[Grendel]

20 Films on 10 discs....
Yep, Mill Creek masterworks at their finest.
The only one in the box that Indicator hasn't put out yet is "Creatures The World Forgot" which is available from Amz.fr (if not elsewhere).

Creatures the world forgot will likely be in one of the next hammer box sets still to come from Powerhouse Films

Beware Mill Creek hammer blu-rays are not that great in terms of video quality transfers

 

[jaws finatic]

Ultimate collection??? Hah!! I laugh.\

How in the name of Hammer Horror can you call this ULTIMATE in any fashion when it not only doesn't include any Christopher Lee Dracula films, nor Brides of Dracula (which is one of the greatest vampire films on celluloid), or Oliver Reeds amazing performance in Curse of the Werewolf.

I'm left confused and uninspired.

 

[Grendel]

Yeah, I'm well aware of Mill Creek's quality @paulboland , I stopped buying their releases a long time ago.
Even if these titles were not all available elsewhere, I'd still wait until they were.

It's truly sad that a companies blu-rays are so bad I'd rather stick to a DVD that go near them with a barge pole.
