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.
