Hammer Films Double Feature: Never Take Candy from a Stranger/Scream of Fear Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Martin Liebman January 30, 2021

There, they feature a different audio encode (that yields the same results) and identical video. Both films include commentary tracks there that are not included here.
