Introducing Hammer's Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD for 1959's The Man Who Could Cheat Death. Now over six-decades since its original release, this Limited Collector’s edition sees the film available for the first time on UHD in the UK, complete with an exceptional range of recent and archival material.

With strong support from Hazel Court and Christopher Lee, The Man Who Could Cheat Death has been painstakingly restored by Hammer in 4K from the original film negatives and includes optional, originally censored scenes thought lost for years.

A doctor and dilettante, Georges Bonner's sculptures are the talk of Belle Époque Parisian society. But Bonner hides a grisly secret: he is over a century old and a serial murderer, kept artificially young by harvesting glands from his unfortunate victims.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This set contains 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray (Region Free) and Blu-ray (Region B) Discs. An all-region Blu-ray player is required to read Region B Discs. Standard U.S. Blu-ray players will NOT read Region B Discs. Looking for all-region players? We got your covered!
