Legendary creator Brian Clemens 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. Starring Horst Janson as Kronos and Hammer Glamour icon Caroline Munro as Carla, cult classic Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter makes its worldwide debut as a brand-new 4K restoration from the original negative film elements.<br/><br/>A rash of mysterious deaths due to accelerated ageing compels Dr Marcus to summon his brother-in-arms, Captain Kronos - once a soldier but now a professional vampire hunter. As the deaths continue, however, Kronos realises that this is no ordinary vampire he's hunting.<br/><br/>New 2024 introduction by Caroline Munro on 1.66:1 UK Theatrical Version<br/>New 2024 commentary featuring Caroline Munro and Sam & George Clemens on 1.66:1 UK Theatrical Version<br/>New 2024 introduction by Sam & George Clemens on 1.37:1 As-Filmed Version<br/>Archive 2011 commentary featuring Brian Clemens, Caroline Munro, Shane Briant and John Carson on 1.37:1 As-Filmed Version<br/>Archive 2011 commentary featuring Brian Clemens and Director of Photography Ian Wilson on 1.37:1 As-Filmed Version<br/>Archive 2013 introduction by Brian Clemens on 1.85:1 US Theatrical Version<br/>Archive 2020 commentary featuring film historian Bruce G.
