X the Unknown Limited

X the Unknown Limited

Oscar-winner Dean Jagger stars as a Quatermass-adjacent irascible scientist in this grittily thrilling science-horror from legendary Hammer writer Jimmy Sangster. Featuring spirited support from Leo McKern, William Lucas and Anthony Newley, X the Unknown has been painstakingly restored by Hammer in 4K from the original film negatives.

When an unlucky squaddie dies in agony from radiation poisoning, the Atomic Energy Commission despatch Dr Royston to investigate. Royston finds no trace of the deadly radiation, but it soon begins to claim new victims.

This Limited Edition comprises:

Four discs in a stylish digipak, including 2 UHD and 2 Blu-ray, with the Hammer content duplicated across both formats.

Three iterations of X the Unknown: the widescreen 1.66:1 UK Theatrical Version, the fullscreen 1.37:1 As-Filmed Version and the widescreen 1.85:1 US Theatrical Version.
