The Old Dark House - The Masters of Cinema Series

New 4K restoration of the chilling classic from the director of Frankenstein, The Invisible Man & The Bride of Frankenstein. A group of weary travellers, a spooky mansion, and a madman on the loose upstairs! Director James Whale s (Bride of Frankenstein, The Invisible Man) The Old Dark House is one of the best and most entertaining horror films of the 1930 s. Dripping with atmosphere and packed to the brim with thrills, 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 whilst journeying through a remote region of Wales, a group of travellers take refuge in a sinister mansion inhabited by the bizarre Femm family and their mute butler, Morgan (played by the iconic Boris Karloff, Frankenstein, The Mummy). Trying to make the best of a bad situation, the group settles in for the night, but the Femm family have a few skeletons in their closet, and one of them is on the loose. With an incredible cast, including Melvyn Douglas (Hud, Twilight s Last Gleaming), Gloria Stuart (Titanic) and Charles Laughton (Witness for the Prosecution, Ruggles of Red Gap), The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present The Old Dark House for the first time on Blu-ray in the UK.
