The history of Hammer Films and their legacy, narrated by the studio's most beloved stars, Peter Cushing (mere months before his passing) and Christopher Lee.
From the 50s when they resurrected characters to today”s chillers, Hammer’s films combined horror with erotic tension and served as what is now a study in cinema.
This extensive 1997 documentary takes the viewer from the 1950’s, when they pumped Technicolor blood into old monsters like Frankenstein and Dracula, to chillers like ‘Let The Right One In” and “The Lady In Black”. Flesh & Blood explores the pre-historic monsters to the creation of masks as it delves into the history of one of the great horror filmmakers of all time.
