This review is from: Vampire Circus (1972) + Hands of the Ripper (1972) [Import] (DVD)

Two Hammer Horror films in US-friendly versions. "Hands of the Ripper" is a nice little thriller and worth seeing. On the other hand "Vampire Circus" is one of the classics of the genre that has never been properly shown in the US. Whether your taste is for Hammer Horror or vampire films in general this is a must-own title.

This import disc features both films in acceptable 16x9 transfers that play by default in English and without subtitles. Apparently MGM has gorgeous HD transfers of these titles but since they aren't getting off their butts to put them out this is as good as you can find.
