Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl's directors reveal the surprising influences behind their new "gnome noir" movie – including a Hitchcock classic

Wallace, Gromit, and Norbot in Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl.

Wallace and Gromit has always worn its filmic influences on its clay-splattered sleeve. Its last feature film, Curse of the Were-Rabbit, spoofed Hammer Horror, while The Wrong Trousers was a picture-perfect pastiche of Hitchcockian thrillers.
