With strong support from Hazel Court and Christopher Lee, The Man Who Could Cheat Death has been painstakingly restored by Hammer in 4K from the original film negatives and includes optional, originally censored scenes thought lost for years.

A doctor and dilettante, Georges Bonner's sculptures are the talk of Belle ร‰poque Parisian society. But Bonner hides a grisly secret: he is over a century old and a serial murderer, kept artificially young by harvesting glands from his unfortunate victims.

Now over six decades since its original release, this Limited Collectorโ€™s edition sees the film available for the first time on UHD in the UK, complete with an exceptional range of recent and archival material.
