The House By The Cemetery 4K Ultra HD

As the 1970s gave way to the 1980s, director Lucio Fulci increasingly specialised in dark, ultraviolent horror, and the third instalment in his "Gates of Hell" trilogy, The House by the Cemetery, showcases him at his blood-drenched best. The Boyle family — Lucy, Norman and their young son Bob — relocate from New York City to an ageing house in rural New England, only to discover the property conceals a violent past and a terrifying occupant.

The evil force lurking in the house's basement has already claimed the previous occupant and soon sets its sights on the new owners. The unsuspecting family become familiar with the dark secret of the monstrous Dr Freudstein, while a cast of Italian horror regulars provide sumptuous widescreen cinematography and a nerve-jangling soundtrack in this gore-soaked classic.
