Terence Fisher (Inglaterra, 1904-1980)

Abstract

Terence Fisher will be linked until the end of time with the Hammer production company, which revitalized between the 1960s and 1970s the horror genre and the archetypal mons-ters designed by Universal some years ago. Without puritanical codes behind them, in his films the female skin is shown more generously, the sexual notes are more daring and the contribution of a color palette that takes advantage of Technicolor allows the blood to be appreciated in all its splendor. But the English director, in addition to promoting the gothic keys that others would later take advantage of, wandered through other genres and had some television adventures. 120 years after his birth, we review his fascinating filmwork.
