The Curse Of Frankenstein Blu-Ray + DVD
Classic 1957 horror film by Hammer Film Productions, based on the novel Frankenstein (1816) by Mary Shelley. This was Hammer's first colour horror film and the first of their Frankenstein series, establishing "Hammer Horror" as a distinctive and uniquely British brand of Gothic cinema. The film was directed by Terence Fisher with cinematography by Jack Asher and stars Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee in two of their most iconic roles for Hammer. Available for the very first time in High Definition, The Curse Of Frankenstein is presented in the original Academy ratio of 1.37:1 and includes the censored "eyeball" scene, now restored in all its glory. As well as an alternate version of the feature at the widescreen ratio of 1.66:1, the release also includes brand new documentaries and commentary track, multiple bonus extras and a gallery.
