Her Private Hell

Cult horror movie director Norman J. Warren was born on June 25, 1942 in London, England. His fright features are distinguished by their cold, grim tones, modern-day settings (this was a radical departure from the period Gothic horror movies made by Hammer), young adult main characters, and startling outbursts of hideously graphic violence. Norman suffered from polio as a child and hence has only one functioning arm. An avid film buff since he was a little kid, Warren got his start working as a runner on "The Millionairess" and handled assistant director chores on the 1962 feature "The Dock Brief."
