Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming 4K Blu-ray release of George Pavlou's
Underworld (1985), starring Denholm Elliott, Steven Berkoff, Ingrid Pitt, Larry Lamb, Nicola Cowper, and Art Malik. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on December 19.
Description: From the strange imagination of Clive Barker (Hellraiser, Nightbreed) comes a neo-noir Underworld—a realm of hidden dimensions, dark, dangerous waters and a labyrinth of tunnels, inhabited by the ghoulish victims of a cruel chemical experiment. When high-class hooker Nicole is kidnapped, businessman Hugo Motherskille hires her ex-lover, the hardboiled gumshoe Roy Bain, to find her. Bain traces her disappearance to the diabolical Dr. Savary, who supplies a weird white powder to a secret cabal of mutant sewer-dwellers. Under the city, out of sight—they wait! Plunge—if you dare—into the spine-tingling and neon-drenched Underworld.
