===Psychological thrillers===
Running alongside production of their 1960s gothic horror films, Hammer made a series of what were known as "mini-[[Alfred Hitchcock|Hitchcock]]s" mostly scripted by [[Jimmy Sangster]], and directed by [[Freddie Francis]] and [[Seth Holt]]. These low-budget suspense thrillers, often in black-and-white, were made in the mould of ''[[Les Diaboliques (film)|Les Diaboliques]]'' (1955), although more often compared to the later ''[[Psycho (1960 film)|Psycho]]''.  This series of mystery thrillers, which all had [[twist ending]]s, comprised:
* ''[[Taste of Fear]]'' (1961; ''Scream of Fear'' in the U.S.)
* ''[[Maniac (1963 film)|Maniac]]'' (1963)
* ''[[Paranoiac (film)|Paranoiac]]'' (1963)
* ''[[Nightmare (1964 film)|Nightmare]]'' (1964)
* ''[[Hysteria (1965 film)|Hysteria]]'' (1965)
* ''[[Fanatic (1965 film)|Fanatic]]'' (1965; ''Die! Die! My Darling!'' in the U.S.)
* ''[[The Nanny (1965 film)|The Nanny]]'' (1965)
* ''[[Crescendo (1970 film)|Crescendo]]'' (1970)
* ''[[Fear in the Night (1972 film)|Fear in the Night]]'' (1972){{sfn|Hardy|1986|page=137}}
*''[[Demons of the Mind]]'' (1972)
*''[[Straight On till Morning (film)|Straight On till Morning]]'' (1972)
In addition to these were more traditional thrillers such as:
*''[[The Snorkel]]'' (1958)
*''[[Passport to China]]'' (1960) a Cold War thriller
*''[[The Full Treatment]]'' (1960)
