Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter

Directed by Brian Clemens

Debonair supernatural expert Captain Kronos and his assistant Grost meet their match when they encounter a village where vampires have been stealing the vitality of young women, leaving them elderly and decrepit. 

Armed with his sword and formidable deductive reasoning, Kronos begins to solve the macabre mystery, with the evidence pointing to the aristocratic Lady Durward and her family as prime suspects. 

A swashbuckling take on the horror genre, Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter is one of the most entertaining productions to emerge from Hammer Films in the 1970s. It returns to the big screen in a new 4K restoration.
