Set on the French Riviera, it concerns a wheelchair-bound heiress plagued by visions of her dead father, and stars American actress Susan Strasberg alongside (by now) Hammer regulars Christopher Lee and Ronald Lewis. The film proved to be a huge success for Hammer, its twisted plot with a tortured heroine becoming a template for their thrillers which followed into the 1970s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINDICATOR BLU-RAY EDITION SPECIAL FEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Definition remaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal mono audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo feature presentations: \u003cem\u003eTaste of Fear\u003c\/em\u003e, with the rarely seen original UK title sequence, and \u003cem\u003eScream of Fear\u003c\/em\u003e, with the alternative US titles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio commentary with Kevin Lyons, editor of \u003cem\u003eThe Encyclopedia of Fantastic Film and Television \u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBody Horror: Inside ‘Taste of Fear’\u003c\/em\u003e (2019, 20 mins): Alan Barnes, Kevin Lyons and Jonathan Rigby explore aspects of the film’s production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eHammer’s Women: Ann Todd\u003c\/em\u003e (2019, 12 mins): profile of the \u003cem\u003eTaste of Fear \u003c\/em\u003eactor by Melanie Williams, author of \u003cem\u003eFemale Stars of British Cinema: The Women in Question\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThe BFI Southbank Interview with Jimmy Sangster\u003c\/em\u003e (2008, 68 mins): archival audio recording of the celebrated filmmaker and screenwriter in conversation with Marcus Hearn at London’s National Film Theatre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThe BEHP Video interview with Jimmy Sangster\u003c\/em\u003e (2008, 117 mins): archival video recording, made as part of the British Entertainment History Project, featuring Sangster in conversation with Jonathan Rigby \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThe BEHP Interview with Douglas Slocombe, Part Two: From Hammer to Spielberg\u003c\/em\u003e (1988, 82 mins): archival audio recording featuring the renowned cinematographer in conversation with Sidney Cole \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFear Makers\u003c\/em\u003e (2019, 9 mins): camera operator Desmond Davis and assistant sound editor John Crome recall the making of the film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAnxiety and Terror \u003c\/em\u003e(2019, 25 mins):\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eappreciation of Clifton Parker’s score by David Huckvale, author of \u003cem\u003eHammer Films’ Psychological Thrillers, 1950–1972 \u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper 8 version of \u003cem\u003eScream of Fear\u003c\/em\u003e (20 mins): original cut-down home cinema presentation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal US \u003cem\u003eScream of Fear \u003c\/em\u003etheatrical trailer \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSam Hamm trailer commentary (2013, 2 mins): short critical appreciation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage gallery: promotional and publicity materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew and improved subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DeadEndDVD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45988427858109,"sku":"45988427858109","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/0877\/9197\/files\/download_26_6b33988b-4bc4-4197-82e1-99a69a75db24.jpg?v=1764719083","url":"https:\/\/deadenddvd.com\/en-nz\/products\/taste-of-fear-indicator-powerhouse-blu-ray-new","provider":"DeadEndDVD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
