A homage I created for the brilliant actresses of Hammer Films. The term ‘Hammer glamour’ is a term many classic horror fans will be familiar with. It was coined to reference the many beautiful actresses the studio employed, but in recent years I’ve found this term somewhat demeaning considering the level of talent in so many of the actresses Hammer utilised. Genre giants like Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee deserve to be lauded for their many fine performances, but actresses like Barbara Shelley and Veronica Carlson have been historically overlooked. And so, as a passion project, I've edited together footage from over 20 Hammer films in to a melancholy ode to these brilliant women. This tribute also serves as an insight in to some of the inspiration behind much of my current screenwriting.
