A-Tier

Hammer Films put this 1970 Vincent Price AIP gothic on 4K as a UK Limited Edition in February 2026, outside the label's usual Hammer-catalog lane. Both cuts are included, the Director's Cut and the theatrical AIP cut. A-Tier on avforums, replacing the 2016 Scream Factory Blu-ray in The Vincent Price Collection III as the definitive version.

Murders in the Rue Morgue(1971)

Jul 20, 2026

Gordon Hessler's 1971 Poe adaptation gets its first 4K through the Hammer Presents line, with Robards and Lom in the lead and a July 20 ship in the UK and Canada. Hessler's original dreamlike cut was famously simplified for the AIP theatrical release, and Hammer hasn't said yet whether the disc carries the director's vision, the studio version, or both. Packaging and audio specs aren't posted yet.
