Blue Underground is proud to announce the highly anticipated 4K UHD release of Venom, the 1970s snake-in-the-house thriller that promises to make your skin crawl. Available on March 25, 2025, this spine-chilling film stars an all-star cast, including Susan George (Straw Dogs), Oliver Reed (The Brood), Klaus Kinski (Nosferatu The Vampyre), and Sterling Hayden (The Killing), among others.
In this gripping thriller, a psychotic chauffeur, a sexy maid, and an international terrorist kidnap a wealthy ten-year-old boy, setting the stage for what was supposed to be the perfect crime. But when a murdered cop, a hostage siege, and the most lethal and aggressive snake in the world—a Black Mamba—get thrown into the mix, things take a deadly turn. With the venomous creature on the loose, terror knows no antidote. Venom is the ultimate in slithering suspense.
Directed by Piers Haggard (The Blood on Satan’s Claw), Venom now gets the deluxe treatment it deserves, with a new 4K restoration scanned from the original 35mm interpositive, Dolby Vision HDR, and a fresh Dolby Atmos audio mix. This release is packed with revealing new extras, making it the definitive edition of the cult classic.
