Krimis in B&W Blu-ray collects three early Edgar Wallace crime thrillers from the German Krimi boom of the 1960s, newly scanned and restored in 4K from their original 35mm camera negatives.

The Indian Scarf gathers a dysfunctional family at an isolated Scottish castle for the reading of Lord Lebanon’s will. Forced to remain together for six days and nights before the document can be opened, the potential heirs soon find themselves trapped with a killer when one of them is strangled with a distinctive scarf.

The Squeaker follows Inspector Elford and Sgt. Lomm as they investigate a series of murders connected to a mysterious underworld informant whose identity has remained hidden. Room 13 centres on private detective Johnny Gray, whose investigation into a blackmail scheme leads him to a Soho nightclub and a string of murders connected to the rooms above it.

1963-1964 / 265 min combined / 2.35:1 / German & English Dub Audio / Newly Translated English Subtitles & English SDH Captions / 2-Disc Region A Blu-ray Limited Edition
