      I would say that Solomon Kane is actually one of Robert E. Howard’s most appreciated heroes, in that people still remember him and write (and film) new stories about him into the modern day. That’s more than I can say for Steve Costigan the sailor or Breckinridge Elkins the mountain man, Howards’s most popular characters in his lifetime.

    This is actually my favourite Hammer movie, i first saw it as a kid so there is some nostalgia involved but i still enjoy it's quirks a lot. :)
    Apparently Hammer horror films were losing popularity at the time so they made this movie to try something different, hoping to appeal to a bigger audience. I think both the 'swashbuckling' and cencored nudity are elements that were meant to attract people who would normally never watch a Hammer horror film.

But there are a lot of regional varieties which are all dead people that feed on blood, the difference is usually the way they actually feed on said blood, as well as specific odd features, such as only having one nostril, that serve to identify them. Add in both the specific means of killing specific types (though decapitation is a thankfully common solution) and the seemingly limitless ways you can become a vampire, through no fault of your own, and you'll probably realise Bram Stoker did us all a favour by defining a standard.

    A minor point from a Yorkshireman: with English counties ending "shire", like Yorkshire, the "shire" part is pronounced "shuh"! "Yohrk-shuh"; "Bark-shuh" (Berkshire)! You get the idea!

    • @michaelccozens
      @michaelccozens 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      British pronunciations are so counter-intuitive that they were very effectively used as a tool for detecting Nazi spies in WW2. Not a single German agent arrived in Britain who wasn't almost immediately found and turned by British intelligence. The Nazis basically provided the UK with an entire disinformation apparatus against Germany.
      Also, IIRC, shires were lead by reeves, leading to our modern term "Sherriff" (shire reeve).

    As far as I know, Captain Kronos is still on TH-cam. I liked it. I feel it the movie was still finding its way and feel a 2nd movie could have done much better as the creators fined-tuned the idea.
    At the same time, the Solomon Kane character is criminally underused in film. My only hope is that when the copyright absolutely expires, someone makes good use of the 16-17th century Gothic horror monster hunter from REH in future movies.
