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.

Still want to know more? We delve into the making of Murders in the Rue Morgue - from Gordon Hessler’s original dreamlike vision to the 'simplified' version released by studio.
