A brand new 4K restoration. Deep in the basement of an abandoned church, once run by a sinister religious sect, lies a strange bottle of green liquid being investigated by a group of local theoretic physics students. But as the night draws in the students soon realise that the strange relic holds a dark and powerful force beyond their control. A force that could well be the essence of pure evil: the remains of Satan himself. PRINCE OF DARKNESS tackles subjects rarely dealt with in the genre of horror, and does so with great visual style and originality.
