Hellraiser [Blu-ray]

Product Information

An almost naked man, Frank sits cross legged holding a puzzle box. It is a dark room and he sits in a square of candles. Experience the sublime agony of this quartet of torment like you never have before in all-new 4k restorations from the original camera negatives. Hell has never looked better! Clive Barker wrote the original story of The Hellbound Heart with the intention of turning it into a film in the mid 1980s. Although he had made a couple of short films when he was younger, he had never directed a full length feature. Scoring a deal with New World, he was able to both write and direct Hellraiser with no outside interference. During production, everything was going so well and the studio was so impressed with what they were seeing that a sequel was greenlit before the first film had even been released. It turned out to be a good call as Hellraiser was well-received by the horror community, despite the mixed to negative critical reception. Leviathan: The Story of Hellbound: Hellraiser II – brand new version of the definitive documentary on the making of Hellbound, featuring interviews with key cast and crew members presentation is fairly front heavy, though music in various spots -- for instance in chapter four -- does make for a nice, spacious, immersive experience.
