Hellraiser Quartet Of Torment 4K UHD [2023] [Region Free]

Product Information

Hellbound: Hellraiser Ii expands on Barker’s original vision as screenwriter Peter Atkins takes Julia Cotton, her step daughter Kirsty (Ashley Laurence) and the sinister Dr. Channard (Kenneth Cranham) into the dominion of the Cenobites themselves. Hellraiser Iii: Hell on Earth sees Pinhead set loose on the sinful streets of New York City to create chaos with a fresh cadre of Cenobitic kin. Then, Hellraiser: Bloodline sinks its hooks into past, present and future with the story of Phillip LeMarchand, the 18th-century toymaker who made the lament configuration puzzle box, his descendent John Merchant - a 20th-century architect whose most recent building bears a striking resemblance to the lament configuration - and Dr. Paul Merchant, a 22nd-century engineer and designer of The Minos, a space station which is a great deal more than it seems.

Loaded with special features, Hellraiser Quartet of Torment is released on 4K blu-ray on 23rd October and will surely thrill genre horror completionists. There’s no doubt that the Hellraiser franchise has been diluted somewhat by a sea of inferior sequels and the loss of just about everyone associated with its beginnings in the intervening years. However, there is something that can’t help but resonate with the public’s consciousness about the film’s antagonists and what they stand for – at once terrifyingly evil and wholly unknowable, yet rooted in what it means to be human, their being angels to some and devils to others is a notion we seem unable to shake. And certainly the best of the films are gathered here in this collection, now including one of the most interesting if not quite best of the sequels.

In the 1980s, Clive Barker changed the face of horror fiction, throwing out the rules to expose new vistas of terror and beauty, expanding the horizons for every genre writer who followed him. With Hellraiser, his first feature film as director, he did the same for cinema. That Rat-Slice Sound, a brand new appreciation of composer Christopher Young’s scores for Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II by film critic and author Guy Adams Under the Skin: Doug Bradley on Hellraiser - archival interview with the iconic actor about his first appearance as ‘Pinhead’ Under the Skin: Doug Bradley on Hellbound - archival interview with the iconic actor about his second appearance as ‘Pinhead’A histrionic, hyperbolic quote it may be…but when it comes from the lips of one Stephen King (himself referencing it from a quote about, ironically, The Boss…Bruce Springsteen), it really shouldn’t be so easily dismissed as mere marketing fluff.

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!Flesh is a Trap - brand new visual essay exploring body horror and transcendence in the work of Clive Barker by genre author Guy Adams (The World House) And Arrow have delivered top notch restorations and a wealth of new and interesting supplementals to help ease the pain for those double and even triple dipping on these films. It’s a handsome set both on-disc and off and should make fans very happy indeed. Hellraiser 3: Hell on Earth then followed, something of a soft reboot for the franchise as it followed investigative reporter, Joey Summerskill ( Terry Farrell) as she looks into a murder which occurred when chains with hooks on them reportedly sprang out of nowhere and took its victim. Arguably Pinhead’s finest hour as it not only digs into his origins, but also gives Doug Bradley a chance to truly flex his muscles as Pinhead’s powers come into full effect. Not without some questionable early Nineties weapons of choice though (death by CD anyone?).
