Special Features: Intro by Bob Furmanek, president and founder, 3-D Film Archive
Newly restored in 3-D by the 3-D Film Archive from 4K scans by Paramount Pictures Archives! THE MAZE is an atmospheric 3-D horror film directed by William Cameron Menzies (INVADERS FROM MARS, THINGS TO COME) and starring Richard Carlson (THE MAGNETIC MONSTER) as Scotsman Gerald MacTeam, who abruptly breaks off his engagement to pretty Kitty Murray (Veronica Hurst) after receiving word of his uncle's death and inheriting a mysterious castle in the Scottish Highlands. Kitty refuses to accept the broken engagement and travels there with her aunt (Katherine Emery). Upon arrival, they discover that Gerald has suddenly aged, and his manner has changed significantly. After a series of mysterious events occur in both the castle and the hedge maze outside, they invite a group of friends, including a doctor, to the castle, hoping they can help Gerald with whatever ails him. Menzies was known for his very dimensional style, focusing many shots in layers, and THE MAZE was his final film as production designer and director. (Note adapted from Kino Lorber.)
