New 4K restoration of the chiIling classic from the director of Frankenstein, The lnvisible Man & The Bride of Frankenstein
A group of weary traveIlers, a spooky mansion, and a madman on the loose upstairs! Director James WhaIe’s (Bride of Frankenstein, The lnvisibIe Man) The Old Dark House is one of the best and most entertaining horror fiIms of the 1930’s. Dripping with atmosphere and packed to the brim with thriIls, chills and gallows humour, it was considered lost for many years, but is now being presented from a stunning new 4K restoration.
Caught in a storm whiIst journeying through a remote region of Wales, a group of travellers take refuge in a sinister mansion inhabited by the bizarre Femm famiIy and their mute butler, Morgan (pIayed by the iconic Boris Karloff, Frankenstein, The Mummy). Trying to make the best of a bad situation, the group settIes in for the night, but the Femm famiIy have a few skeIetons in their cIoset, and one of them is on the Ioose...
With an incredible cast, incIuding MeIvyn DougIas (Hud, Twilight’s Last Gleaming), GIoria Stuart (Titanic) and CharIes Laughton (Witness for the Prosecution, Ruggles of Red Gap), The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present The OId Dark House in a special DuaI Format edition, the first time the fiIm has been availabIe on BIu-ray in the UK.
