Film Masters: First Look at New 4K Restoration of Creature With the Blue Hand

Film Masters has provided a promotional trailer for its new 4K restoration of Alfred Vohrer's Creature with the Blue Hand (1967), starring Klaus Kinski, Harald Leipnitz, Carl Lange, Ilse Steppat, and Hermann Lenschau. A Blu-ray release is scheduled to arrive on the market on October 22.

Description: For those craving a taste of "Euro-Kinski," two of Klaus Kinski's European features are now available in one creepy package. Presented for the first time in Blu-ray, Creature with the Blue Hand (1967) is a mystery-thriller about a series of grisly murders. It's one of several German films based on the novels of Edgar Wallace, many adaptations of which starred Kinski. This time he plays an escaped mental patient who might be the killer. Meanwhile, Web of the Spider (1971) is a classic haunted house tale from Italian maestro, Antonio Margheriti, with Kinski as none other than Edgar Allan Poe! It's a diabolical double dose from one of cinema's most controversial and unique figures!
