Question: Do both films The Blackout (1997 Film) and The Phantom Of The Opera (1962 Film) have the directors from the same country?

The Phantom of the Range is a 1936 American western film directed by Robert F. Hill. <SEP> The Phantom of the Opera is a 1962 British horror film directed by Terence Fisher, a loose adaptation on the 1910 novel" Le Fantôme de l'Opéra" by Gaston Leroux. The film was made by Hammer Film Productions. <SEP> Terence Fisher( 23 February 1904 – 18 June 1980) was a British film director best known for his work for Hammer Films. He was the first to bring gothic horror alive in full colour, and the sexual overtones and explicit horror in his films, while mild by modern standards, were unprecedented in his day. His first major gothic horror film was" The Curse of Frankenstein"( 1957), which launched Hammer's association with the genre and made British actors Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee leading horror stars of the era. He went on to film several adaptations of classic horror subjects, including" Dracula"( 1958)," The Mummy"( 1959), and" The Curse of the Werewolf"( 1961). Given their subject matter and lurid approach, Fisher's films, though commercially successful, were largely dismissed by critics during his career. It is only in recent years that Fisher has become recognised as an" auteur" in his own right. His most famous films are characterised by a blend of fairytale myth and the supernatural alongside themes of sexuality, morality, and ‘ the charm of evil ’. Drawing heavily on a Christian conservative outlook, there is often a hero who defeats the powers of darkness by a combination of faith in God and reason, in contrast to other characters, who are either blindly superstitious or bound by cold, godless rationalism. For detailed discussions of Fisher's work, see" Terence Fisher: Horror, Myth, and Religion" by Paul Leggett( McFarland and Co, 2002)," British Film Makers: Terence Fisher" by Peter Hutchings( Manchester University Press, 2013), and" The Films of Terence Fisher: Hammer Horror and Beyond" by Wheeler Winston Dixon( Auteur Publishing, 2017). <SEP> A long- time independent filmmaker, some of his best known films include" Ms .45"( 1981)," King of New York"( 1990)," Bad Lieutenant"( 1992) and" The Funeral"( 1996). Abel Ferrara( born July 19, 1951) is an American filmmaker, known for the provocative and often controversial content in his films, his use of neo- noir imagery and gritty urban settings. <SEP> Ramin Karimloo( born September 19, 1978) is an Iranian- Canadian actor and singer, recognised mainly for his work in London's West End.

He also originated the roles of Gleb in" Anastasia" and the Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber's" Love Never Dies", which continues the story of" The Phantom of the Opera".
