Crucible of Horror

Limited Edition, Region B

Michael Gough delivers a disturbingly sinister performance as a domineering sadist and family gaslighter in this tense, vérité-style psychological horror from director Viktors Ritelis. With strong performances from Sharon Gurney and BAFTA-winner Yvonne Mitchell, and an unsettling musical score from John Hotchkis, Crucible of Horror (also known as The Corpse) has been painstakingly restored by Hammer from the original film negatives.

Walter Eastwood rules his family with a rod of iron, terrorising his wife and daughter with little provocation. Following a particularly vicious beating, his wife decides there's only one solution to their ongoing torment – Walter must die.

This brand-new 2K restoration from the original negatives is available here for the first time anywhere in the world.
