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

Product Information

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?). Archival audio commentary with writer/director Clive Barker and actor Ashley Laurence, moderated by Peter Atkins

Newly uncovered workprint version of Hellraiser: Bloodline, with alternate music score and deleted scenes (standard-definition only) Under the Skin: Doug Bradley on Hellraiser - archival interview with the iconic actor about his first appearance as ‘Pinhead’ The Pursuit of Possibilities – brand new 60-minute discussion between acclaimed horror authors Paula D. Ashe (We Are Here To Hurt Each Other) and Eric LaRocca (Everything the Dark Eats) celebrating the queerness of Hellraiser and the importance of Clive Barker as a queer writer Clive Barker is one of British horror’s most iconic figures. Being the man behind the works that would inspire Candyman, Gods and Monsters, Nightbreed, The Midnight Meat Train and most notably, Hellraiser. While my favourite of these is Candyman, one can’t help but find the success of Hellraiser fascinating. 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.

Flesh is a Trap - visual essay exploring body horror and transcendence in the work of Clive Barker by genre author Guy Adams (The World House) – NEW (18 mins) Archival audio commentary with director Tony Randel, writer Peter Atkins and actor Ashley Laurence – This archival audio commentary from 2000 with the director, writer and lead actor Ashley Laurence is another decent one. There’s quite a bit of overlap from the prior commentary that Randel and Atkins did but this one’s a little more lively due to the inclusion of Laurence.

Brand new audio commentaries for all four films by film critic Kim Newman and Hellraiser unit publicist Stephen Jones, also joined by screenwriter Peter Atkins on Hellraiser: Bloodline Nice upgrade over the previous Arrow boxset, which was pretty grain heavy in particular indoor scenes. And into this morass of stagnating blood and guts came Barker’s bizarre creation, itself a Frankenstein of unlimited imagination and horribly suffocating production restrictions, a film that at once showcased a first-time film maker and an author (the film is based on one of his novellas, The Hellbound Heart) whose worlds far exceeded anything in horror or dark fantasy before and arguably since. Far more than the sum of its parts, it opened up a landscape of twisted sexual fantasy intertwined with equally perverse physical torture; it parlayed a prosthetic-driven creature feature into the midst of a very suburban melodrama; and it delivered a sense of the dreamily uncanny, of the off-kilter shot through impossible environments (is it set in the UK? The US? Even our world? Who knows?) and nightmare logic with no discernible rhyme nor reason…Mashing the worlds of body horror and sadomasochism is something that feels like it shouldn’t have worked for mainstream audiences but 11 films later, there’s something undeniably intriguing about the world of Pinhead and his fellow Cenobites.

Hellraiser | Quartet Of Torment | Chatterer Slipcase | Arrow Store Exclusive | Limited Edition 4K UHD Unboxing Hellraiser – brand new visual essay celebrating the Lament Configuration by genre author Alexandra Benedict (The Beauty of Murder) And so the sequel, Hellbound: Hellraiser II, was rushed into production during the finalisation of the first film and released barely twelve months after. Problems plagued the hastily assembled production, from actors refusing to return forcing script rewrites, to financial problems with production company New World Pictures, the final film is a scruffy, messy expansion of the first that still manages to offer up some stunning designs and scenes and a delicious peak into the mythos of the Cenobites and of Hell itself. Lost in the Labyrinth– An archival 17 minute featurette about Hellbound: Hellraiser II that contains interviews with Clive Barker, Tony Randel, Bob Keen and more. Similar to the Resurrection featurette included on the first disc, it’s a watch that’s worth viewing for the die-hard fans and offers a good retrospective on the film. Unrated Version – Containing standard definition inserts for the unrated footage, this was included on Arrow’s prior Blu-ray release and is included in 4K UHD, alongside the theatrical cut of the film.

Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth extras Books of Blood and Beyond: The Literary Works of Clive Barker - archival appreciation by horror author David Gatwalk of Barker’s written work, from The Books of Blood to The Scarlet Gospels 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.
