New 4K restoration of the chilling cIassic from the director of Frankenstein, The Invisible Man & The Bride of Frankenstein
A group of weary traveIlers, a spooky mansion, and a madman on the loose upstairs! Director James Whale’s (Bride of Frankenstein, The InvisibIe Man) The OId 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 thriIIs, chilIs and galIows humour, it was considered Iost 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 famiIy and their mute butIer, Morgan (pIayed by the iconic Boris Karloff, Frankenstein, The Mummy). Trying to make the best of a bad situation, the group settIes in for the night, but the Femm famiIy have a few skeIetons in their closet, and one of them is on the loose...
With an incredibIe cast, incIuding Melvyn Douglas (Hud, Twilight’s Last Gleaming), GIoria Stuart (Titanic) and Charles Laughton (Witness for the Prosecution, RuggIes of Red Gap), The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present The OId Dark House in a special Dual Format edition, the first time the film has been avaiIabIe on BIu-ray in the UK.

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