If you like Psycho (1960) or What Lies Beneath (2000), or anything similar to either of those two films, then you’re likely to enjoy Taste of Fear. This is an atypical film by Hammer Productions. Once you’ve seen it, the temptation may be to go back and watch it again because it seems like it was produced by someone else…yet it wasn’t. Even Sir Christopher Lee, who co-stars in this film, described it as being probably Hammer’s best film. You’d never think that the South of France could be such a sinister place until you watch this film… Rest assured, whilst parts of it border on horror, it is largely a psychological thriller and a fantastic one at that. Don’t double think it: just get it! It doesn’t disappoint!
