hammer film productions
I have decided to look at the horror movie producer “hammer film productions” this particular film production company are based in the united kingdom and they were founded in 1934, the company specialise in the typical gothic horror film, but they also produced science fiction, thrillers, film noir, and comedies and the further on the line in later years they went on to produce television series. When hammer film productions were most successful they donated the horror film market, they produced films worldwide and became a financial success; this was due to becoming in partnership with major united states studios, such as Warner bros. during the 1960s and the 1970s the demand for horror films fell and the market became more competitive so due to the loss of sales and losing the contracts with the American funding the company decided to cease production, in the mid 1980s and since then the company has been in effect hibernation. In the new millennium the company was brought by a consortium including advertising and art collector Charles Saatchi. Once all the plans went through the company declared that they were going to begin making films again but none were produced. Again in May 2007 the company was sold again but this time it went to a group headed by big brother a Dutch company, consortium cyrte investments, who said that they were going to spend $50m on horror films.

 some of the films they have produced in the past over the last 70 years ..
