In our latest conversation with Steve Rogers we’re focussing on Spaceways (1954), the latest film to be painstakingly restored in 4K, and soon to be available as part of the Limited Collector’s Edition range. But for contextualisation, we’ll also be touching on Hammer in the 50s and the surprising factors that shaped its output. Plus, the travails of the British movie industry during that era, and much more! So what are we waiting for? Sit back and buckle up…
2025 has been a unique year for Hammer Films. Its Limited Collector's Edition range really kicked in with 4K restorations of classics including The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) and The Quatermass Xperiment (1955), alongside previously neglected gems like Whispering Smith Hits London (1952) and Blood Orange (1953). Each title in the collection was accompanied by a raft of bespoke new material, from specially shot featurettes to lavishly illustrated booklets.
If you’re a fan of British horror movies, Christmas has come early! Hammer Presents is a brand new range that will build on the success of the ongoing Limited Collector's Edition releases, unlocking even more horror classics and hidden gems. With its ambitious remit and reach, it will ensure Hammer continues to deliver the very best and most sought after titles alongside outstanding support material. We caught up with Hammer’s Steve Rogers to get all the info on this exciting development.
Christmas is a time for tales of terror; for cozy frights and dark delights. Every year we share suggestions regarding films to enjoy over the festive period. There's an emphasis placed on horror, but other genres bob in and out of the reckoning, meaning musicals, animations, humour and whodunnits all find their way onto the list. So from Hitchcock to Hammer, we hope there's something here for everyone to enjoy.
Fear in the Night is clearly the work of a confident, skilled technician in terror. Jimmy Sangster conceived, co-wrote, directed and produced the film, using all his experience to ensure it’s one of Hammer’s sparsest but most gripping efforts of the 70s.
