The Damned DVD
The brutality of modern society is fast encroaching on the picturesque seaside town of Weymouth. American tourist Simon Wells (Macdonald Carey) is looking for a relaxing holiday but he is mugged by the psychopathic King (Oliver Reed) and his gang of thugs. Wells escapes with King's sister, Joanie (Shirley Anne Field), and they stumble upon a sinister establishment where nine ice-cold children are being subjected to a horrifying experiment. The shadowy authorities control of the base will stop at nothing to safeguard their secret, but it is the mysterious children who will doom them all... Heavily cut on its American release, this DVD presents The Damned in its full-length version and original 'Hammerscope' aspect ratio.
