Hellraiser Tetralogy Blu-Ray
We have such sights to show you...
In the 1980s, Clive Barker changed horror fiction by throwing out the rules to open up new vistas of horror and beauty and broaden the horizons for all genre writers who followed him. With Hellraiser, his first feature film, he did the same for cinema. Hedonist Frank Cotton (Sean Chapman) believes he has reached the limits of earthly pleasure. But a mysterious puzzle box takes him further than he could ever imagine, opening the doors to a realm where pain and pleasure are inseparable and calling upon the Cenobites, whose experiments in the higher realms of experience will tear his soul apart. When he manages to escape, Frank returns to the world skinless and in need of help. Now his former lover Julia (Clare Higgins) must die to make him whole again. But the Cenobites want Frank back, and it will be hell when they find him.
Hellbound: Hellraiser II builds on Barker's original vision as screenwriter Peter Atkins takes Julia Cotton, her stepdaughter Kirsty (Ashley Laurence), and the ill-fated Dr. Channard (Kenneth Cranham) to the Cenobites' own realm. Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth unleashes Pinhead on the sinful streets of New York to wreak havoc with a new cadre of Cenobitic kin. Then Hellraiser: Bloodline hooks into the past, present, and future with the story of Phillip LeMarchand, the 18th-century toy maker who created the Lament Configuration puzzle box, his descendant John Merchant—a 20th-century architect whose latest 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 that is much more than it appears to be.
