NEVER TAKE CANDY FROM A STRANGER (1960). When Hammer is mentioned, usually the colorful Gothics are thought of, but their BW suspense films are worth a look, like CASH ON DEMAND, THE SNORKEL, NIGHTMARE and MANIAC. However, I consider this the BEST of the "Mini Hitchcocks" with an incredibly ballsy premise for the time (Still hard hitting today) good work by MANY Hammer and assorted cast/crew and >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SPOILER>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> almost unbearable tension by the Lake. Felix Aylmer, so kindly in THE MUMMY is terrifying here, making Christopher Lee's bloody red Eyed Count Dracula look like a purring Pussycat. ****1/2
