I've been rediscovering old Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee films.
One of the screen's great teams. Lee is a freakin' beast as the apex predator Dracula, and Cushing brings tremendous energy to those old Hammer films. They're a blast to watch.
Add The Island of Lost Souls to my list. It's an early take on Wells's The Island of Dr. Moreau, with Charles Laughton as the bad doctor and Lugosi as Sayer of the Law. Enjoyed it. These old films have remarkable thrift--beginning, middle, and end in 75 minutes. No nonsense, right to it. Modern directors could learn a lot from those old guys.
