Dracula + Q&A

Hammer Films in partnership with Warner Bros resurrects Dracula in a landmark new 4K restoration featuring long-lost footage unseen for over 60 years 

A landmark in Gothic horror, Dracula cemented Hammer Films' reputation as the leading force in modern horror cinema and introduced audiences worldwide to Christopher Lee's definitive interpretation of Bram Stoker's immortal vampire. Opposite Peter Cushing's fearless Van Helsing, Lee brought a terrifying physicality and seductive menace to the role that would redefine the Count for generations. This landmark 4K restoration from original film elements reinstates footage that was believed missing for more than six decades and was previously seen only by audiences attending the film’s original Japanese theatrical release in 1958. The recovered material has never been released before in the UK or US. It’s the cut the censors tried to bury.  

When Jonathan Harker arrives at a remote Transylvanian castle, he discovers that his mysterious host, Count Dracula, is a centuries-old vampire who feeds upon the blood of the living. As Dracula's reign of terror spreads across Europe, the determined Professor Van Helsing embarks on a desperate battle to destroy the Prince of Darkness before more innocent lives are claimed. 

We are honoured to be screening this new restoration in the presence of the World’s leading expert on Hammer films, Wayne Kinsey, who will be live on stage after the film for a Q&A.
