'Never Take Sweets From A Stranger' (1960) - Blu-ray pre-order available from Powerhouse direct - £12.99

Release date: February 15

"One of Hammer’s most controversial and genuinely adult thrillers, Never Take Sweets from a Stranger is a serious drama that dealt candidly (for the time) with the issue of child abuse.

Deftly handled, the film is a sincere and unsensational treatment of a taboo subject. Avoiding melodrama it addresses the horrors of the real world but remains a compelling and genuinely unsettling work."
