Edgar Wallace Presents: Circus of Fear (1967)

Based on a novel by master of suspense Edgar Wallace, Circus of Fear (aka Psycho-Circus) offers a classic heist story with a chilling twist. Christopher Lee, Suzy Kendall, Klaus Kinski and Leo Genn star among a high-profile cast assembled by cult director John Llewellyn Moxey. The full-length version of Circus of Fear is featured here in a new digital remaster in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.

Following an audacious bank robbery, Scotland Yard's Inspector Elliott poses as a photographer to visit the nearby Barberini Circus, from which some of the stolen banknotes have come into circulation. The mystery deepens when the knifed body of one of the crooks turns up in a sack, and as the clues come fast and furious Elliott's suspects include a hooded, disfigured lion-tamer, a demented knife-thrower, and a blackmailing dwarf named 'Mr Big'...
