The World of Hammer

Season 1 Episode 9: Chiller

Through the 1950s and 1960s, and running alongside the gothic horror films, Hammer made a series of what were known as 'mini-Hitchcocks', primarily scripted by Jimmy Sangster, and directed by Freddie Francis and Seth Holt. These low-budget suspense thrillers, often in black-and-white, typically had a twist at the end. Films included: Czech Mate (1984, from Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense) / Hell is a City (1960) / The Last Page (1952) / Maniac (1963) / Paranoiac (1963) / Shatter (1974) / Whispering Smith Hits London (1952) / Straight on Till Morning (1972).
