After more than six decades, the Count returns, looking better than ever. In 1958, Hammer Films changed horror cinema forever. This October, Dracula returns to the big screen and home entertainment like never before. Painstakingly restored in 4K from the best original archival materials sourced from around the world, this definitive restoration includes footage believed missing for over six decades — deemed too shocking for UK and US audiences at the time, and previously seen only during the film’s original 1958 Japanese theatrical release. Restored by Hammer Films and Silver Salt Restoration in partnership with Warner Bros, this is the cut the censors tried to bury, finally uncensored.

For this important release GV Film worked in partnership with Hammer to craft a new and modern edit that was respectful of the feature’s monumental legacy and would hit all the right points for fans whilst also being informative of the new version. No easy task but I think we managed it.
