​​​​​​​Murders in the Rue Morgue makes its debut on Blu-ray and 4K UHD.

Loosely based on a story by Edgar Allan Poe, this meta murder mystery stars Jason Robards and Herbert Lom, spinning a chilling tale where the line between performance and reality blurs, and the players become the real-life victims.

Cry of the Banshee director Gordon Hessler reunites with writer Christopher Wicking, this time writing alongside Henry Slesar, in the latest addition to the Hammer Presents range.

Still want to know more? We delve into the making of Murders in the Rue Morgue - from Gordon Hessler’s original dreamlike vision to the 'simplified' version released by studio.

• Brand-new artwork by Sam Hadley
• Limited edition O-card packaging

The Count is coming, and he's bringing long-lost footage unseen for over 60 years.

This October, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee are together again as Hammer's original Dracula returns to cinemas and makes its worldwide home entertainment debut in stunning 4K.

Painstakingly restored in 4K from the best original archival materials sourced from around the world, Dracula (1958) returns in its most complete form ever presented. For the first time outside of Japan's original 1958 theatrical release, footage believed lost for over six decades has been meticulously restored and reintegrated into the film. This footage has never been released in the UK or the US, and has never been seen on home entertainment anywhere in the world.

This is the cut the censors tried to bury.

The Count awaits. Sign up for updates at hammerfilms.com/dracula

Break in the Circle makes its debut on physical media in 4K for the very first time!

A fascinating outlier in the Hammer library, this stylish crime thriller has been painstakingly restored in 4K from the original film negatives for the highest quality viewing experience possible.

Though Hammer is best known for horror, Break in the Circle represents the studio’s sole full-blooded Eurocrime espionage thriller – released at the same time as The Quatermass Xperiment - it gives a glimpse into what the studios output might have looked like, had it not been for the boxoffice success of its horror output. This makes Break In the Circle an essential discovery for collectors, noir enthusiasts and Hammer completists alike.

A must-have for fans of classic crime cinema, espionage thrillers, and Hammer’s lesser-known gems.
