Hammer Films

1. Hammer films is a film company which was founded in  November 1934, it is now one of the oldest film companies existing. In the past they have made movies such as 'The  Curse Of Frankenstein', The horror of Dracula', and more recently 'The Women In Black', and the 'Shawshank Redemption'.
2. Hammer Films are known for their defining films of the horror genre, however only one third of their movies are made in the specific horror genre. The rest of the movies are sci-fi, psychological and thrillers. 
3. From the start up of the company to the 50's, the content used for Hammer Films was predominantly crime/thriller kinds of movies. However in the 50's they started to make horror films.
4.  The company made history when making the first fully colour film, 'The Curse Of Frankenstein'.
5. Their movies mostly consisted of gothic horror movies, however in the 70's as colour television was emerging, box office revenues decreased. From this Hammer films realised that movies under the genre of gothic horror were not appealing to the audience anymore.
6.  The film 'Women In Black' which was released in 2012, was Hammer Film's first theoretical ghost story movie. The movie made $130 million worldwide, therefore making it the bigger indie horror films ever. This also leads on to Hammer Films making its first ever sequel, of 'The Women In Black: Angle of death.'
