Legendary creator Brian Clemens (who scored worldwide hits with The Avengers and The Professionals) writes and directs this stylish, revisionist Hammer Horror – pitting a swashbuckling hero, his hunchbacked assistant and a feisty gypsy ingenue against a cunning and malevolent vampire.
A rash of mysterious deaths due to accelerated ageing compels Dr Marcus (John Carson) to summon his brother-in-arms, Captain Kronos (Horst Janson) – once a soldier but now a professional vampire hunter. As the deaths continue, however, Kronos and his assistant, Grost (John Cater), realise that this is no ordinary vampire they are hunting.
Fifty years after its initial theatrical release, Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter makes its worldwide debut as a brand-new 4K restoration, scanned from vaulted 35mm original negative elements.
