Terence Fisher

Terence Fisher was born in London in 1904, served five years in the merchant navy and entered the studios late, as a clapper boy, before moving on to editing. He became a director in his forties and found, from 1957, with a small English producer, the manner that would make his reputation: gothic horror in colour. The critics of his own country long regarded him as a craftsman, until a reassessment that came from France, then from England, recognised a style in him. He died in 1980.
