"A family of cannibals, descended from Victorian railway workers who had been buried alive in an accident, dwells in the disused lines of the London Underground network. When two students discover a dying politician in their local tube station, victim of the last of the cannibals, the ensuing investigation reveals a macabre plot that sends shivers down the spines of hardened police officers Calhoun (Donald Pleasence) and Rogers (Norman Rossington)."
"What is the terrible secret of the capital's underground system? And who - or what - is turning the London Underground into a Death Line...? First released in 1972, Death Line was ahead of its time in its mixture of grisly thrills, gallows humour and sharp social commentary. Now, it is heralded as a British horror classic. Available on ye olde physical media, it's about to be released in a fully restored 4K version."
A family of cannibals, descended from Victorian railway workers buried alive, inhabit disused London Underground lines and prey on surface commuters.

The film, first released in 1972 as Death Line (retitled Raw Meat in the US), combines grisly thrills, gallows humour and social commentary and is regarded as a British horror classic. A fully restored 4K release includes audio commentaries, interviews, trailers, and a poster and still gallery, and is available for pre-order.
