There’s a curious ambiguity to Terence Fisher. A patchwork of contradictions that the director himself seemed to delight in stitching together. So how can Four Sided Triangle help us decode the man once hailed as ‘the master of the macabre’?
It was recently announced that the next movie to be restored and released by Hammer Films will be Four Sided Triangle (1953), an early thriller directed by fan favourite, Terence Fisher. It represents the first Hammer picture to be based, in part, on the story of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the seminal novel famously reworked by the studio throughout the 50s, 60s and 70s.
The release of Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter in 4K is accompanied by a swathe of fresh material, including brand new artwork created by the renowned Graham Humphreys. Hammer News was delighted to catch up Graham and chat to him about his work on the poster, his process, inspiration, and what makes Kronos such a special film.

But there’s more—Kronos and his friends return with gorgeous new artwork by industry legend Graham Humphreys, reimagining the Captain like never before.
