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.
