Hammer has provided a promotional trailer for the new 4K restoration of Terence Fisher's Stolen Face (1952), starring Paul Henreid, Lizabeth Scott, André Morell, Mary Mackenzie, and John Wood. A 4K Blu-ray is expected to arrive on the market in early 2026.
Description: Before Hammer's Gothic era, Fisher crafted a tense psychological thriller about identity, desire, and the moral cost of reshaping another person. Lizabeth Scott delivers a mesmerizing dual performance as both the elegant musician who rejects a surgeon's advances and the criminal he recreates in her image. Paul Henreid navigates obsession and responsibility, while André Morell adds a slow-burning unease, driving the film into emotionally charged noir territory.
Now restored in 4K from the original negatives, Stolen Face arrives on UHD and Blu-ray for the first time, featuring both UK and US cuts, new commentary tracks, archival reflections, and special features exploring Scott's career, the film's sexual politics, and the history of plastic surgery in cinema.
