Format: DVD
Hysteria is directed by Freddie Francis and written by Jimmy Sangster. It stars Robert Webber, Anthony Newlands, Jennifer Jayne, Maurice Denham and Lelia Gordon. Music is by Don Banks and cinematography by John Wilcox.

From the long line of Hammer Thrillers with one word titles that followed in the wake of Psycho, Hysteria is a decent addition to the roster. Plot in simple terms finds Webber as Chris Smith, a survivor of a car crash who is suffering with amnesia. Upon finding out some mysterious benefactor has been footing the hospital bills for him, he is naturally intrigued as to who it is. Following the bare minimum of clues, while struggling with angry voices he hears in his head, Smith finds himself in a vortex of mystery and shifty shenanigans.

What follows is a monochrome murder mystery laced with psychopathic tendencies, paranoia, dangerous attractions, twists and extended flashbacks. It's all a bit flimsy if you wanted to dissect it as a viable story, but Sangster comes up with some good ideas in the name of entertainment, and Francis is able to eek out suspense at regular intervals. Cast are fine, including the sometimes maligned Webber who sits the role well, while Denham offers up a good one as the detective who is not to be taken lightly.

Good solid twisty thriller from Hammer. 7/10

A great and interesting film. A man suffering from memory loss from tragic accident or who is supposed to have, is be treated regularly for it by a doctor, and has a woman who is in love with him has no idea who he is. Going round, searching from place to place, trying to find the truth of his identity, to wach from start to finish.

This inept little film shows Hammer storyteller guru Jimmy Sangster hitting a new trough (you thought "Paranoiac" was bad? - wait until you watch this!).
An uninteresting plot line (that for once could be figured out quite early on) is compounded by an absolutely ABOMINABLE casting.
Robert Webber uses grotesque mimics to hide an irrepressible lack of talent, Anthony Newlands passes by without making any impression while Lelia Goldoni is just cute.
Freddie Francis directs this on autopilot.
The only two redeeming factors are Jennifer Jayne (bless her) and the hilarious Maurice Denham (the only actor with a genuine expression on screen).
Had I not paid for "hysteria", I probably would have become hysterical watching this...
As it is, just bored senseless really...Instead of losing time with this, Hammer fans should watch "Nightmare", "Taste of Fear" and "Fanatic" over and over and over again...

HASH(0x905c98e8) out of 5 stars Forget Me Knot 6 Feb. 2012
By William Amazzini - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD
Alfred Hitchcock's sleeper hit 'PSYCHO'- 1960 spawned countless imitations but Hammer Films of England released some of the best Psycho Thrillers of the sixties all written and some produced by steroid screen writer Jimmy Sangster. This one 'HYSTERIA' -1964 presented by Warner Archive is the last of them released to DVD and completes the trilogy of titles including 'PARANOIAC'- 1962 and 'NIGHTMARE'- 1963 written by Sangster and Directed by cinematographer Freddie Francis. Here we have amnesiac Robert Webber who pieces together his life with the aid of a private detective played by Maurice Denham and suddenly being thrust into the middle of a murder tryst. There is a bumpy 85 minute ride leading to the surprise denouement led by many familiar genre faces: Beautiful Jennifer Jayne who played the voluptuous vampire in Francis's 'DR. TERROR"S HOUSE OF HORRORS the same year and also the psychic medium of Director Quentin Lawrence's 'THE CRAWLING EYE' aka 'THE TROLLENBERG TERROR'-1960; Peter Woodthorpe who overacted as the mesmerist and Kiwi Kingston who played the monster in Francis's 'THE EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN' the same year, Lelia Goldoni who would shine in Director Samuel Gallu's 'THEATRE OF DEATH'-1966 , and in a surprise cameo, gorgeous Sue Lloyd as a red herring call girl. The script however is strictly on auto pilot with a jazzy score by Don Banks and crisp photography by John Wilcox to inhance the proceedings. Warner Archive releases it in a beautiful full screen transfer which actually makes it look like it was made yesterday if not for the fashions and locations but no extras. Not one of Sangster's best, my favorite is Director Seth Holt's 'SCREAM OF FEAR' aka 'TASTE OF FEAR'- 1960, it does hold up quite well considering its age but its strictly for Hammer completists only and for those striving for convoluted murder mysteries.

HASH(0x903ad474) out of 5 stars Not Your Typical Hammer Mini HItchcock 6 April 2013
By B. Tebbs - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I purchased this movie because I understood it was part of the trilogy of Hammer "Mini Hitchcocks" from 1964 including Nightmare and Paranoiac. Boy, was I wrong. The other two are melodramatic Gothic-mystery pot boilers. This one is more like a swinging-sixties sex comedy wanna be. The first half hour crawls by at a snails pace. The music was a pseudo-sleazy bachelor pad mambo jazz score and was my first clue that I was in the wrong movie. I suppose the movie can be appreciated on some level, but I was horribly disappointed and for me it was a complete waste of $20 USD. Buyer beware.

HASH(0x905cb774) out of 5 stars Robert Webber Unlikely Hitchcock Leading Man 10 July 2013
By V. Risoli - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Hammer's 1965 "Hysteria" is supposedly the last of three Hitchcock-like productions directed by Freddie Francis and written by Jimmy Sangster. (The first two were "Paranoiac" and "Nightmare"). This one is the oddball. First off, they cast Robert Webber in the lead, who has little star power except that he was a figure in the Hollywood machine in the sixties mostly in secondary roles. I guess they figured they would settle for that, as Hammer I think, due to its budgetary restraints, which I greatly admire, has repeatedly settled for second choices. (Remember Cary Grant and Joan Crawford were some stars that were considering Hammer and the parts went to Hammer staples like Edward De Souza and Margarita Scott.) He totally has no charisma. Frederick Stafford would probably have been a better choice. Apparently, too, Hammer must have been thinking of the coming age by using a predominantly jazz/lounge-style soundtrack music by Don Banks making it sound pretty far-out. The script by Sangster is not one of his best. Francis does an admirable job with what he is working with. Robert Webber's character is rather despicable, too, he lies at the drop of a hat, and is aggressively pushy, but really wimpy but mostly without charm. Others in the cast are Anthony Newlands, Jennifer Jayne and Lelia Goldoni and especially nice to see Maurice Denham get a really good part for a change as the detective who, in his persistence, solves/saves the day. A good thing for Hammer completists who might be interested, Warner Archive has provided a great transfer for this M-G-M release. It comes with a trailer. It is worthwhile to look into now, but it fails in comparison to much of Hammer's previous output. Like much of Hammer's sixties thrillers, it is in black-and-white and highly recommended, if you can forgive the wrong decisions.

HASH(0x9380ee4c) out of 5 stars Disc Errors 23 Nov. 2011
By MARK C. BALE - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD
Just a warning, a UK buyer of this MOD disc has said there are multiple disc errors making the film unplayable as it skips and freezes. Maybe just a one-off problem, but could this be the same as NIGHT THE BRIDGE FELL DOWN which also had problems from Warner Archive.
