Crucible of Horror Blu-ray The Corpse 1971 Hammer Mike Raven Mary Maude

A claustrophobic, dark revenge story brought back to life by Hammer, restored from the original film negatives!

Introducing Hammer's Blu-ray (Region B) for 1971's Crucible of Horror (aka The Corpse). Michael Gough delivers a disturbingly sinister performance as a domineering sadist and family gaslighter in this tense, vérité-style psychological horror from director Viktors Ritelis. With strong performances from Sharon Gurney and BAFTA-winner Yvonne Mitchell, and an unsettling musical score from John Hotchkis, Crucible of Horror has been painstakingly restored by Hammer from the original film negatives.

Walter Eastwood rules his family with a rod of iron, terrorising his wife and daughter with little provocation. Following a particularly vicious beating, his wife decides there's only one solution to their ongoing torment – Walter must die.
