Hellraiser Complete 10 Movie Series DVD Set - Judgement / Revelations + More!

Product Information

The Leviathan configuration takes the form of an eight-sided diamond with sharp points and represents the final form of Hellraiser's puzzle box. Philip LeMarchand, a French toymaker, makes the Lament Configuration for a wealthy aristrocrat named Duc de L'Isle, who is obsessed with dark magic. Clive Barker has stated that he signed away the story and character rights to the production company prior to the release of the first film, not realizing the critical and financial success it would be. Simply put, you can feel the lack of involvement from Clive Barker and the subtlety the first two films enjoyed. The MPAA told me I was allowed two consecutive buttock thrusts from Frank but three is deemed obscene!

It says in the film that the Lament Configuration was commissioned from LeMarchand by the aristocrat Duc de L'Isle in 1784. This may still be the entity that is granting wishes and creating Cenobites in the Hellraiser reboot, hence the name of the Leviathan configuration.FEATURED POSTS: PM Entertainment and the Art of Rip-offs With Razzmatazz 1983 vs 1993 in Horror Movies: What Year Scared Us More?

As part of the Anniversary, Hellraiser was re-released via Blu-Ray in a Steelbook edition on 30 October. Fictionally, the box was created by Philip LeMarchand, who is mentioned in The Hellbound Heart (the novella upon which the movie Hellraiser was based) as a maker of mechanical singing birds. At the end of The Hellbound Heart, the character Kirsty Cotton wonders if there are other puzzles that might offer access to paradise instead of hell. Hedonist Frank Cotton (Sean Chapman) thinks he has reached the limits of earthly pleasure, but a mysterious puzzle box will take him further than he can possibly imagine, opening the doors to a dominion where pain and pleasure are indivisible and summoning the Cenobites, whose experiments in the higher reaches of experience will tear Frank’s soul apart.One by one she banishes the Cenobites back to their realm by reversing the solution to the puzzle box. Variety stated that Hellraiser is "well made, well acted, and the visual effects are generally handled with skill". Like a lot of Barker’s work, Hellraiser brazenly exposes the traps concealed within the trappings of organized religion. Each disc opens with the Arrow Video intro before arriving at their respective animated main menus with traditional navigation options.

Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at ourwarehouse. Along with its sequels, the Barker-produced Hellbound and Hell on Earth, Arrow Video is proud to present some of the most terrifyingly original films in the history of horror in brand new 2K transfers. Channard (Kenneth Graham), head of the asylum to which Kirsty is committed when nobody believes her account of what transpired in the house on Ludovico Road.The Washington Post referred to the film as a "dark, frequently disturbing and occasionally terrifying film" but also argued that "Barker's vision hasn't quite made the conversion from paper to celluloid [. Flesh tones are accurate and healthy and our favorite pain-dealing cenobites look appropriately pale and disturbing. The special effects of the unnamed creature, known as "The Engineer" in the novels, proved challenging as the creature was difficult to manoeuvre. Written and directed by Barker, Hellraiser is essentially a psychosexual chamber play—limited on the whole to a single location occupied by a handful of characters—that abounds in barely concealed domestic fissures and incipient amorous betrayals, not to mention some live human flaying thrown in for gruesome measure: Think Strindberg by way of Lucio Fulci.
