Mantrap

Film Skool

|Mantrap (1953), the stylish crime thriller directed by Terence Fisher, returns in a stunning new 4K restoration, bringing renewed clarity to one of Hammer’s most fascinating noir-era films.

Starring Paul Henreid in an offbeat turn as a former intelligence officer turned amateur detective, Mantrap follows an unlikely sleuth as he becomes entangled in a dangerous web of deception, murder, and misplaced trust. Shot on real London locations still scarred by the Blitz, the film captures a city and nation in transition.

This Limited Collector’s Edition marks the first-ever home video release of Mantrap, anywhere and in any format, and includes both the UK version (Mantrap) and the US release (Man in Hiding), newly restored from the original film negatives.

Exclusive features include new audio commentaries from Film Noir UK’s James Harrison and film historian Sergio Angelini, alongside cult cinema writers Toby Roan and Heath Holland, plus newly produced featurettes exploring the film’s literary origins, its cast, and its place within Hammer’s crime-era output. Archival behind-the-scenes footage, stills, and a deluxe booklet of newly commissioned essays complete this definitive edition.

A gripping rediscovery of British noir, presented in its most visually striking form now.

The Stunt Man

Film Skool

|Cameron (Steve Railsback, Lifeforce) is a man who finds himself unmoored from American life: recently returned from Vietnam, he is now a drifter on the run from the law. While evading police, he stumbles upon the filming of a World War I movie helmed by the megalomaniacal Eli Cross (Peter O’Toole, Lawrence of Arabia). When Cameron discovers that he bears a striking resemblance to the lead actor, he hatches a plan: to hide from his potential captors by disguising himself as a stunt double and agreeing to perform a series of increasingly dangerous stunts.

But nothing is what it first seems on an Eli Cross set, and as illusion and make-believe start to bleed into one another, Cameron finds himself locked in a battle of wits with a possibly insane genius, and in danger of becoming unmoored not just from society, but from reality itself… 

Newly restored in 4K, The Stunt Man was a critical smash that suffered from distribution issues on its original release in 1980 - it was nevertheless nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Director for Richard Rush, and has earned a reputation as one of the most beloved cult films of all time. Featuring one of Peter O’Toole’s greatest performances, and enough action-packed mayhem to power several blockbusters, The Stunt Man is - to use the words of Eli Cross - pure movie magic.
