Synopsis:
In 1958, legendary showman Joseph E. Levine unleashed this grisly UK thriller on American moviegoers. But when audiences were horrified by the film's striking violence, graphic nudity and bloody Technicolor climax, it became one of Levine's most infamous failures. Today – in its notorious European version and the re-scored American cut – it remains among the most provocative shockers of its time. Eddie Byrne (THE MUMMY) and Lee Patterson (TV's Surfside 6 ) star in “one of the most underappreciated films in the Ripper canon” ( Daily Grindhouse ), produced/directed by Robert S. Baker & Monty Berman (BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRE) and written by Hammer Films' legendary Jimmy Sangster (THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, HORROR OF DRACULA), both versions now scanned uncut in 4K from a newly discovered internegative and fine grain protection print for the first time ever.
