These Hammer Hidden Gems do not disappoint. These five films are fantastic! I loved the ending in "The Snorkel", and Four-Sided Triangle" strongly reminds me of "The Fly". Thank you for these recommendations. I eagerly look forward to more of your videos about such great films.
Just discovered this channel and as a devotee of classic movies ( of all stripes), I'm instantly hooked. Looking forward to catching up on all the back episodes. Cheers.
Good to see this. I think a lot of people think that Hammer only made twenty or so movies - they were so much more than horror movies. The only one here that I haven't seen is 'The Snorkel'. I'm going to try to seek it out. Thank you.
I keep getting surprised at the breadth of what Hammer Studios produced and, like Theron, keep hunting for some of them. My list keeps growing! Thanks for bringing them to my attention!
I generally watch movie suggestions because I'm running out of science fiction, or because I want to see movies from my youth. Your comments and insights are so excellent I am reminded that movies (and people) were once more thoughtful. Films weren't always made to satisfy a diet for particular experiences. One is a bit more thoughtful after hearing your observations on earlier society, and today's.
Stumbled across your channel and enjoyed your vid. Firstly. Anyone reading this and wanting to get some of the lesser know Hammer films, Indicator (Powerhouse Films) have had some returns on out of print stuff and among them is Volume 2: Criminal Intent which includes The Snorkel, The Full Treatment, Never Take Sweet From a Stranger and perhaps my favourite, Cash on Demand. I'm sure it will appear on your list, but Cash on Demand is an absolute gem that I didn't even know existed until I was scrapping around some American Noir channels and it was mentioned there. Held in pretty good regard in the US it never got much love in the UK which is a shame because it's been lacking an appreciative audience and is on par with some of the more well known British crime dramas of the era.
Another good one, Terry. Fun fact: Anthony Dawson also played the offscreen (credited as "?") Blofeld in From Russia with Love and Thunderball. He ALSO played Bond for numerous screen tests of actresses. In a way, the deadly, shifty "Dr. Dent" from DR NO played Bond more times than other actors.
Good video, I haven't seen any of these and will look out for them. Nice to see someone making videos without the same movies as every other video (Aliens, Predator, etc.).
The Hammer horror films are so well made. The colour pallette is spot on. So are the black and white films. So are the actors eg Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Caroline Munro among many others. They have this hard to define quality. Freddie Francis was a genius. The movie The Stranglers of Bombay is a classic. I have a feeling that Steven Spielberg was influenced by that film when be made Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. And the movies based on the Quartermain adventures are gems.
This is a well made documentary about other types of movies Hammer Films made. This documentary shows that Hammer Films was a company that made more than horror movies. These are really some forgotten Hammer Films gems. These are some good thrillers.
This is perfect sir. I've been watching a lot of Talking Pics TV lately, and catching many excellent movies I missed in previous decades. They showed 'The Snorkel' a few months ago, honestly I didn't expect much but it was a corker. So, I'll certainly be searching your suggestions out. Thanks again
Yeah talking pics TV throws out a few real great films...a few weeks ago they showed "the day of the locust" I was expecting a B sci-fi about mutant locusts lol how wrong was I...if u haven't seen it keep an eye out for it in my opinion it is an absolute instant classic it left me speechless showing 1930s ish Hollywood hey day and the people all looking for fame and the ending is true cinematic magnificence....oh and on a funny note one of the characters is called Homer Simpson lol deffo deffo deffo worth a watch!!! Peace b lucky!!!
I grew up watching Hammer films, the more mainstream ones anyway, I guess here in the US our choices were more limited. Thanks for giving me a look as some that I have not come across.
3 of these films are in "The Icons of Suspense Collection" DVD set along with 3 other films: Stop Me Before I Kill!, Cash on Demand, The Snorkel, Maniac, Never Take Candy from a Stranger, These Are the Damned. There's also an "Icons of Adventure" and "Icons of Horror Collection" set all from Columbia Pictures.
Many years ago, I managed a Suncoast Motion Pictures. (An outfit that sold movies... when such a thing existed!) We sold so much product for Hammer, that they went & put out a Demo-Tape of their upcoming Catalog for us to play in-store. It was narrated by Christopher Lee & he would periodically drop our catch phrase, 'Suncoast... We Know Movies!'!!! (Coolest Promo-Vid EVER!)
@@terrytalksmovies I actually managed to fenagle a copy for myself at some point. But it's probably buried in my attic in a box label 'Old Home Movies'!
@@Njbear7453 Ya... there about a dozen or so left in the Country! Corporate is shutdown thought, so I'm guessing the few still remaining are independent operations.
Love hammer films. Quatermass and the pit, The Gorgon, too many to count really. If Barbara Shelley is in it I'm there. I crushed on her hard when I was young. Sunday afternoons on tv. The creepy creature feature.
Dear Terry... how is your Terry Thomas? This is honestly why I clicked!! My TT is honed to absolute perfection as you might expect!! "Ding Dong"... Interesting video, SUBSCRIBED 🏆🇬🇧
@@terrytalksmovies Then 'I Apologise' 😉. Bravo Terry, I sing more like Farinelli who has stepped on Lego! Keep up the great work, I will be binging on your videos whilst filming a miniature castle on a hill today... Turned the 'Hammer' up to 11.
I'm a long haired freaky person from Texas, and I have always considered Hammer movies to be better made than 98% of the stuff that Hollywood pumped out. The low budgets only made the production teams work like veritable demons to create high quality, intelligent movies. You can see that these people LOVED making movies and I am so glad that they cared that much. I was fortunate enough to have seen dozens of Hammer and Amicus films by the time I turned 13 in 76. I am not ashamed to admit that Peter Cushing has been like the Boogeyman to me for the greater part of my life, he had "presence " that you could feel even when watching him on the television. What a TITAN! I don't scare easily, and just seeing him gives me the heebie-jeebies,but in a good way.
Another great retrospective critique ....I only knew of the creature feature classics .....As an aside would it be possible to put in the credits of the jazz tracks you play in the background.
I wrote a book about the history of British Horror Movies a few years ago and watched all the films mentioned in the video. Other gems I would add are The Man in Black (with a great dramatic performance by Sid James), The House Across the Lake (Sid terrific again), The Flanagan Boy/Bad Blonde (Barbara Payton very good again) and Yesterdays Enemy. The latter is a really gripping, morally challenging war movie set in Burma during WW2. Stanley Baker is excellent in this one.
I've never seen Stanley Baker bad in anything. My fave of his is Innocent Bystanders. A hidden gem of a spy movie. I've taken note of your suggestions but the Box Of Shame is pretty full of DVDs and Blu-Rays at the moment.
@@terrytalksmovies Totally agree about Innocent Bystanders, from a novel by James Mitchell (under the pen name James Munro), the creator of Callan. The books are worth tracking down, too.
I really think this is an excellent overview. It's actually quite odd hearing someone approach things from a humanistic angle, as that kind of thing is just so rare in these times of profit over people type ideologies. Well done sir.
Some good films here. 4-SIDED TRIANGLE is quite an underrated small film (tho I did not care for the female lead). MANIAC is good too, and, as you say, NEVER TAKE CANDY FROM A STRANGER does deserve notice, more than it has gotten (I remember the release of the film here did raise eyebrows, as well it needed to).
Moon Zero Two looks cheesy but it's pretty good. I've been trying to collect all of the Hammer studio's films. I have about 140 of the 172 films. I'm mostly missing ones from the 30s and 40s. The oldest one I have is The Mystery of the Mary Celeste. I have almost all of the ones from around 1955 and on. I have all of the horror and the later 80s tv series. Needless to say, I'm a fan. I've seen all of these and also recommend them.
Great selection of movies I have seen 3 out of your 5, years ago. It is a shame Hammer always gets panned for cheap movies but the used their budget wisely, a bit like the "Carry On" films a tight budget was a big factor with those too but did not stop them making good movies which are still enjoyed today.
Love a bit of Hammer but haven't seen any of these, thanks for the rec. I think these have all been released by Indicator, are you a fan of the label? They have a pretty good sale on at the moment if you're interested; I just bought a Sternberg/Dietrich boxset which I'm excited about having never seen any of their collaborations. (Also bought a bunch of Ray Harryhausen films, but that's another story...).
FOUR-SIDED TRIANGLE is a fascinating one - apparently some of the production design was later recycled for Hammer's first Gothic horror revival THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN.
I think I've seen all of these except THE SNORKEL, Terry -- usually in the middle of the night on SYFY back when they weren't ashamed to be "The SciFi Channel", on public television when they ran an awful lot of obscure non-American SF/Horror/Fantasy movies, or for a a couple years while I was in college when one of the Los Angeles independent stations had some demented genius programming their overnight movie block, so we got everything from Mario Bava's BLACK SUNDAY and DANGER: DIABOLIK! to Chabrol's LA FEMME INFIDÈLE to Fellini's JULIET OF THE SPIRITS. Pity my family didn't own a VCR back in the Seventies....
Never Take Sweets from a Stranger is the most disturbing movie Hammer ever made.Felix Aylmer character is a(human) monster.It's the only Hammer movie that i still find shocking(maybe because it was made in 1960 i don't know)
These are some interesting choices. I was pleasantly surprised to remember, in fact, seeing, Four Sided Triangle. But what I wanted to ask is if you, Terry Talks Movies or anyone else read the original short story it is based on? I did, many years ago, and it was actually head and shoulders ahead of its time. While it does feature aspects of toxic masculinity as one of its themes, the short story also focuses on the more philosophical idea as whether it matters which of them is the original and which the duplicate. The short story makes a case for the duplicate being just as valid a person as the original. If she is an EXACT duplicate, is she actually just her? And does it matter who was first to be alive. This was a big idea that was before it’s time. As the forward to the story I read put it, this ISN’T a story about cloning, this is about copying, and the question of if a perfect copy of you, is just...you.
SCREAM OF FEAR and Nightmare. Those are my votes for hidden Hammer gems. And I placed "Scream of Fear" in all caps because.... omigod, "Scream of Fear." I love that movie. I actually kinda disagree about The Four Sided Triangle... I found it to be a huge bore, but maybe I should take a look again. But The Snorkel. Hell yeah.
Never much liked four sided triangle. Not much in it to appeal to a twelve year old boy. A monster less monster movie. When talking about this one, another later movie comes to mind, The 1963 Brittish thriller, The Mindbenders. Snorkel was good. I do not much remember the twist, but I thought it was just at the time.
I disagree with your evaluation of the Four Sided Triangle. I think the ethical issues are what set this apart from the sci-fi of the time. It is not a Saturday Morning popcorn fest but an adult sci-fi. The type that Britain has done so well.

I’ve been wanting to revisit some Hammer films. Great video, Terry!
staying up late as a kid at the weekend to watch a hammer horror film was amazing.
I agree.
Stumbled across your channel and enjoyed your vid.
Firstly. Anyone reading this and wanting to get some of the lesser know Hammer films, Indicator (Powerhouse Films) have had some returns on out of print stuff and among them is Volume 2: Criminal Intent which includes The Snorkel, The Full Treatment, Never Take Sweet From a Stranger and perhaps my favourite, Cash on Demand.

Loved the sneaky Pell cameo there ;)
Thanks.
I am glad you've showed us these gems. I am not aware about these until now

50s Hammer is pretty underrated. Some of the movies played on TV in the seventies as a kid in USA.
If I'm not too mistaken, that lead actor from "Never Take Sweets From a Stranger" was also in "Night of the Big Heat".

The four sided triangle is from a sci fi short story of the same name. The film pretty much replicates the story.
