VENOM SYNOPSIS:

Terrorists in the process of kidnapping a child get trapped in a house with an extremely deadly snake.

A Behind the Drapes... Between the Walls... In Your Bed 

A thriller to make your skin crawl!​

It was supposed to be the perfect crime: the sexy maid (Susan George of STRAW DOGS), a psychotic chauffeur (Oliver Reed of THE BROOD) and an international terrorist (Klaus Kinski of NOSFERATU THE VAMPYRE) kidnap a wealthy ten-year-old boy from his elegant London townhouse. But they didn't count on a murdered cop, a desperate hostage siege, and one very unexpected houseguest: a furious Black Mamba, the most lethal and aggressive snake known to nature. It can attack from ten feet away. Its bite brings excruciating death. And it is on the loose. Now, terror knows no antidote... and the ultimate in slithering mayhem is VENOM.

​

Sterling Hayden (THE KILLING), Nicol Williamson (EXCALIBUR) and Sarah Miles (BLOW-UP) co-star in this gripping suspense thriller based on the novel by best-selling author Alan Scholefield and directed by Piers Haggard (THE BLOOD ON SATAN'S CLAW). For those that may have sought after the IMDB page in curiosity or confusion with the Sony Venom franchise, legendary director Tobe Hooper is listed as a director on the project. This is because he was the original director and filmed for nine days of the film before having creative differences and departing the project for Haggard to take over. Blue Underground is now proud to present VENOM in a brand-new restoration, scanned in 4K 16-bit from its 35mm IN, with Dolby Vision HDR and a new Dolby Atmos audio mix, and packed with revealing new Extras!
