Synopsis:
A group of weary travelers, a spooky mansion – and a madman upstairs! The Old Dark House – directed by James Whale, the writer-director of Frankenstein and The Invisible Man – is one of the finest and most entertaining horror films of the 1930s. Dripping with atmosphere and packed to the brim with thrills, chills and gallows humor, it was considered lost for many years before its rediscovery and restoration. Available on 4K (2160p) UHD from a 4K digital restoration, presented in a new and exclusive Dolby Vision HDR (HDR 10 compatible) grade.
Caught in a storm while journeying through a remote part of Wales, a group of travelers take refuge in a sinister mansion inhabited by the bizarre Femm family and their mute butler, Morgan (played by the iconic Boris Karloff, star of Frankenstein and 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…
One of the last and best films to be produced by the original cycle of “old dark house” films that began in the 1920s (typified by The Cat and the Canary ), The Old Dark House boats an incredible cast featuring Melvyn Douglas ( Twilight 's Last Gleaming ), Gloria Stuart ( Titanic ) and Charles Laughton ( Witness for the Prosecution ). Available for the first time in the UK on 4K Ultra-HD.
