A family of cannibals, descended from Victorian railway workers buried alive, inhabit disused London Underground lines and prey on surface commuters. Two students discover a dying politician in a tube station, prompting an investigation by police officers Calhoun and Rogers that uncovers a macabre plot linked to the subterranean family. 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.
