Hammer's classic 1958 Dracula – or Horror of Dracula if you are American – gets its long-awaited Blu-ray release on March 18th. The Three-disc set, which also includes two DVDs, promises to be the ultimate edition of the film, and includes both the restored BFI edition of the film that played theatrically in 2007 and the recent Hammer restoration, with additional scenes long thought to be mythical – the legendary Japanese cut – reinstated.

The disc also includes 90 minutes worth of featurettes, a commentary track, all four 'Japanese reels' unrestored and more.
This is the film that Hammer fans have been waiting for, and while the previous Hammer Blu-rays haven't always met with appreciation from the more picky viewers, it's hard to imagine how – barring some production disaster – this could not satisfy even the most anal of viewers. Watch out for our review soon.
