The newly revived Hammer Film Productions releases a new addition to the Gothic horror genre this month. Is it worthy to stand alongside its other classics like “The Curse of Frankenstein” (1957)? Perhaps director James Watkins’ treatment of the novel by Susan Hill will bear testament to that. His previous horror/thriller, “Eden Lake” (2008), a terrifying and truly grim story about a couple being chased through the woods by a gang of youths, is a solid base from which to start.
