Using his home-made explosive “Super Crack” to entice beautiful New York City prostitutes, Jeffrey resurrects his beloved Elizabeth using their assorted body parts.

HAMMER: HEROES, LEGENDS and MONSTERS 
 Limited Collector’s Edition on 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray


Narrated by Charles Dance, Hammer: Heroes, Legends and Monsters unearths the true story behind the trailblazing studio that changed horror cinema forever.

From its humble beginnings, Hammer Films went from relative obscurity to global recognition. Its run of thrilling horror films is loved by fans worldwide and remain influential to this day. This acclaimed feature-length documentary includes exclusive never-before-seen extended interviews, rare footage, and untold stories. With insights from cast members like Barbara Shelley, Caroline Munro and Ingrid Pitt, plus crew, filmmakers and fans like Tim Burton, John Landis and John Logan, it covers Hammer's turbulent history and lasting influence on horror.
Produced by Deep Fusion Films in association with Hammer Films, the documentary offers exclusive insight into the figures who brought Hammer’s unique vision to life. 
John Gore, CEO and Chairman of Hammer Films, shares: “Hammer Films has always represented a unique family of talent both on screen and off and our mission today is to honour that legacy while looking to the future with new stories and cutting-edge restorations. This documentary celebrates the visionaries who made Hammer what it was, while recognising the passionate fans who have kept the brand alive. I’m thrilled to lead Hammer into its next chapter.”

Hammer: Heroes, Legends and Monsters tracks Hammer Films’ journey from humble beginnings in London’s Regent Street to its iconic status in the horror genre, where its core legacy of gothic horror and psychological tension continues to inspire and entertain to this day.

It explores the influential figures - both on screen and behind the scenes - who formed a unique family within the studio and made Hammer a defining force in cinema, including stars like Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Through a series of fateful turns, the film reveals how Hammer’s distinct visual style and storytelling continue to shape modern horror and inspire filmmakers around the world.

Benjamin Field, Producer/Director, Hammer: Heroes, Legends and Monsters, Deep Fusion Films adds: “It’s been a great honour to explore such a complex historical story during Hammer’s 90th year. I’ve been immersed in crafting this documentary for most of this year and the tales I’ve uncovered are richer than I ever imagined. I hope audiences will gain a fresh perspective on Hammer’s entire catalogue and appreciate the pioneering work the studio achieved.”

The documentary culminates in a powerful and poignant reveal of Hammer royalty, with a special homage to the incomparable Peter Cushing at the very end, ensuring this moment will be an unforgettable highlight for long-time fans and newcomers alike. Field added: “After seven decades of resurrecting Dracula, it feels fitting to have created the final sequence with the legendary Peter Cushing!”
