The Keep 4K Ultra HD marks the long-awaited Vinegar Syndrome Retail debut of Michael Mann’s cult supernatural horror classic. Set in Nazi-occupied Romania, 1941, German troops arrive in a remote mountain village and are warned to stay out of a mysterious structure known only as “The Keep.” Ignoring the villagers’ warnings, two soldiers break in searching for treasure and unleash an ancient, growing evil. As bodies pile up, Captain Klaus Woermann must rely on an elderly Jewish historian, Dr. Theodore Cuza, and his daughter to confront the darkness.
Adapted from F. Paul Wilson’s New York Times best-selling novel, The Keep 4K Ultra HD is a mesmerizing visual feast of supernatural terror, featuring a haunting Tangerine Dream score and jaw-dropping effects by Nick Maley (Superman, Lifeforce). Starring Scott Glenn, Jürgen Prochnow, Alberta Watson, and Ian McKellen, this definitive restoration from Vinegar Syndrome includes exclusive new interviews and extensive special features that illuminate the film’s fascinating production history.
