Crucible of Horror

Film Skool

| Experience Crucible of Horror as never before. Painstakingly restored by Hammer from 4K scans of the original film negatives, this stark and unsettling psychological horror returns with newly revealed detail and intensity.

Michael Gough stars as Walter Eastwood, a tyrant within his own home: a domineering sadist whose quiet cruelty governs every moment of family life. Leaving behind gothic excess for cold, vérité-style realism, director Viktors Ritelis crafts a film of mounting dread, where violence simmers just beneath the surface, and escape feels impossible.

With powerful performances from Sharon Gurney and BAFTA-winner Yvonne Mitchell, and an unnerving score by John Hotchkis, Crucible of Horror stands as one of the most disturbing and overlooked entries in British horror cinema.

This definitive Hammer Presents release marks the film’s first restoration from the original negatives and its first availability anywhere in the world at this level of quality.
