Human Lanterns LE 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray brings Chung Sun’s notorious Shaw Brothers horror classic to collectors in a lavish limited edition packed with exclusive extras and a brand new Dolby Vision restoration.

Two wealthy rivals compete to unveil the most magnificent lantern at an upcoming festival, but their obsession with prestige unleashes something horrifying. When mysterious craftsman Chao Fang is secretly commissioned to create an unmatched masterpiece, beautiful young women throughout the region begin disappearing — their mutilated bodies later discovered skinned alive. As paranoia and terror spread, a gruesome conspiracy slowly emerges behind the blood-soaked artistry.

Blending wuxia, gothic horror and grotesque body horror, Human Lanterns remains one of the most shocking and visually striking films produced by Shaw Brothers. Featuring outrageous gore effects, richly stylized cinematography and unforgettable performances from martial arts icons Tony Liu, Chen Kuan-Tai and Lo Lieh, the film stands as a cult classic of Hong Kong horror cinema.
