Hammer films- Research into film distributors.
Founded in November 1934, Hammer is one of the oldest film companies in the world. It celebrates its 80th anniversary this year.
Hammer is synonymous with horror, after defining the genre in Britain with classics such as Dracula,The Curse of Frankenstein and The Mummy, which spawned numerous sequels.
However, only 1/3rd of Hammer films were horror!
The company tackled other genres, including psychological thrillers, sci-fi, noir and historical epic.
Hammer has a back catalogue of nearly 300 titles, and a rich character canon including classic monsters, mobsters, psychopaths, and surprisingly ‐ cavegirls.
