Severin: 4K Restoration of The Beast Must Die! Heading to Blu-ray

Posted June 11, 2020 01:58 PM by Webmaster

Severin Films will introduce on Blu-ray a brand new 4K restoration of Paul Annett's film The Beast Must Die! (1974), starring Calvin Lockhart, Peter Cushing, Marlene Clark, Charles Gray, and Anton Diffring. The release will be available for purchase on June 26.

According to the label, the new 4K restoration became possible after a superior 35mm element was recently discovered and scanned in France. The restoration was completed by StudioCanal.

Synopsis: When big-game hunter Tom Newcliffe (Calvin Lockhart) invites a group of people to stay at his estate, they expect a relaxing weekend. Instead, they arrive to learn he thinks one of them is a werewolf and that no one can leave until that person is exposed. Among the suspects are a piano player (Michael Gambon) and his girlfriend (Ciaran Madden), an archaeologist (Peter Cushing), a diplomat (Charles Gray) and an artist (Tom Chadbon), all of whom are subjected to a series of werewolf tests.
