The Abominable Snowman Limited Collectors Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-Ray

Reuniting Quatermass creator Nigel Kneale with acclaimed director Val Guest, The Abominable Snowman is one of Hammer Films’ most intelligent and atmospheric horror classics. Beautifully restored in 4K from the best available film elements, this definitive edition presents the film as it has never been seen before.

While leading a scientific expedition high in the Himalayas, Dr. John Rollason (Peter Cushing) takes refuge at a remote monastery where rumours of the legendary Yeti persist. When a rival expedition arrives intent on capturing the elusive creature for profit, the search becomes a dangerous confrontation between science, greed and the unknown. Blending philosophical science fiction with eerie suspense, The Abominable Snowman remains one of Hammer’s most thoughtful and enduring genre films.
