Amicus Productions was a British film production company, based at Shepperton Studios, England, active between 1962 and 1977. It was founded by American producers and screenwriters Milton Subotsky and Max Rosenberg.
Prior to establishing Amicus, its two producers collaborated on the successful horror film The City of the Dead (1960). Amicus’s first two films were low-budget musicals for the teenage market, It’s Trad, Dad! (1962) and Just for Fun (1963). Amicus is best remembered for making a series of portmanteau horror anthologies, inspired by the Ealing Studios film Dead of Night (1945). They also made some straight thriller films, often based on a gimmick.
Amicus’s horror and thriller films are sometimes mistaken for the output of the better-known Hammer Film Productions, due to the two companies’ similar visual style and use of some of the same actors, including Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Unlike the period gothic Hammer films, Amicus productions were usually set in the present day.
