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.
