Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter (4K Ultra HD+Blu-Ray) - Limited Collectors Edition

Legendary creator Brian Clemens writes and directs this stylish, revisionist Hammer Horror — pitting a swashbuckling hero, his hunchbacked assistant and a feisty gypsy ingenue against a cunning and malevolent vampire. Starring Horst Janson as Kronos and Hammer Glamour icon Caroline Munro as Carla, cult classic Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter makes its worldwide debut as a brand-new 4K restoration from the original negative film elements.

A rash of mysterious deaths due to accelerated ageing compels Dr Marcus to summon his brother-in-arms, Captain Kronos — once a soldier but now a professional vampire hunter. As the deaths continue, however, Kronos realises that this is no ordinary vampire he's hunting.
