During its most successful years, Hammer dominated the horror film market, enjoying worldwide distribution and considerable financial success.

This has been achieved by a combination of our creative and highly experienced artists, competitive prices and dedication that is second to none in getting the best results for all productions, big or small. Through our work we have established an international reputation, which has led us to working with up and coming directors from around the world as well as Academy award winning Producers and Cinematographers.
