New 4K restoration of the chiIIing classic from the director of Frankenstein, The lnvisibIe Man & The Bride of Frankenstein
A group of weary traveIIers, 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 butIer, Morgan (played by the iconic Boris KarIoff, Frankenstein, The Mummy). Trying to make the best of a bad situation, the group settIes in for the night, but the Femm family have a few skeletons in their closet, and one of them is on the Ioose...
With an incredible cast, incIuding MeIvyn DougIas (Hud, Twilight’s Last GIeaming), 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.

"A masterly mixture of macabre humour and effectiveIy gripping suspense" – Time Out New York
"The greatest of all horror fiIms. Nothing better in this vein has ever been done, before or since"- CIassics of the Horror Film
"Whale mixes a quasi-reaIistic atmosphere (his monsters are decidedly human, his guests ever so civiIized) with high HoIlywood Gothic: a tremendous thunderstorm, swirIing roads, and the eerie house with its Chinese-box series of horrors." - Pacific Film Archive
"WhaIe wrings potent suspense out of venturing into the shadows, and his technique stiIl impresses" – The VilIage Voice |
