Blood From the Mummy’s Tomb 4K UHD
Blood From the Mummy’s Tomb (1971)
Based on Bram Stoker’s The Jewel of Seven Stars, Blood From the Mummy’s Tomb makes its worldwide 4K UHD debut on April 6, with an astounding brand new 4K Dolby Vision restoration. The Collector’s Edition includes superb new artwork by Johnny Dombrowski, two posters, a 64 page perfect bound booklet featuring new essays, the original press kit, and a host of fascinating extras.
Directed by Seth Holt (Taste of Fear), the 1971 film was scripted by Christopher Wickling (who wrote Demons of the Mind, STUDIOCANAL’s other Hammer release in April), with dazzling cinematography and production design from Hammer regulars Arthur Grant Demons of the Mind and STUDIOCANAL’s March release Fear in the Night) and Scott MacGregor (Vampire Circus).
With a cast including Andrew Keir (who stepped in when Peter Cushing had to withdraw from the production), James Villers (Asylum), and the magnificent Valerie Leon (Carry on Matron) in two roles, Blood From the Mummy’s Tomb is a genuinely entertaining treat, filled with fantastic set pieces, gruesome moments, and a suitably eerie score by Tristram Cary (Quatermass and the Pit).
SYNOPSIS: At the moment archaeologist Julian Fuchs (Andrew Keir) and his expedition team discover the tomb of the evil ancient Egyptian Queen Tera (Valerie Leon), his daughter Margaret (also Leon) is born exactly in Tera’s image. Years later, Corbeck (James Villiers) wishes to resurrect Tera and use her immense power for his own nefarious ends. With Margaret’s help, they hunt down the relics required for the occult ceremony in which Tera’s soul, that has been sojourning in the identical body of Margaret, will be transferred to her preserved corpse…
Blood From the Mummy’s Tomb Collector’s Edition, including the film on 4K UHD and Blu-ray discs, is released on 6th April 2026 and available to pre-order. The film will also be available on Digital.
