On March 25th, Blue Underground proudly presents the world premiere of the British horror-thriller classic “Venom” on 4K Ultra HD™ + Blu-ray™ and DVD in a brand-new 4K restoration packed with bonus content.
“Venom” stars Susan George (“Straw Dogs”) and Oliver Reed (“The Devils”) as a maid and chauffeur who conspire with international terrorist Klaus Kinski (“Nosferatu the Vampyre”) to kidnap the grandson of their rich boss “Sterling Hayden” (Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb). Their simple plan falls apart when the grandson brings home a snake that turns out to be a deadly Black Mamba. The aggressive reptile gets loose in the posh London apartment, and the abduction turns into a fight for survival.
“Venom” was directed by Piers Haggard (“The Blood on Satan’s Claw”) and is based on the novel by best-selling author Alan Scholefield (“Great Elephant”). The kidnapping drama/horror film features an all-star cast, including Nicol Williamson (“Excalibur”), Sarah Miles (“Blow-Up”), and Cornelia Sharpe (“Serpico”).
