Hammer: Heroes, Legends and Monsters

Hammer: Heroes, Legends and Monsters

Hammer turned ninety in 2024 and we made a film about it — a feature documentary tracing the studio from its beginnings to its return to production.

Ben Field directed. It premiered on Sky Arts and screened at Sitges the following year.

Commissioned by Sky Arts, where it premiered on 31 October 2024, with worldwide sales handled by Kaleidoscope. Selected for the Sitges Documenta strand at the 58th Sitges Film Festival in 2025.

Blu-ray.com gave the disc release full marks and singled out the extras; Blueprint: Review and Horror DNA both scored it four out of five.

Role: producer and executive producer. 2024.
