and those filters always looked softer in comparison for the most part and remains so here, albeit with a slightly better handling of the underlying grain and detail. The Beauty of Suffering - featurette exploring the Cenobites' connection to goth, fetish cultures and BDSM – NEW (28 mins) Under the Skin: Doug Bradley on Hellbound - archival interview with the iconic actor about his second appearance as ‘Pinhead’ 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. That Rat-Slice Sound - brand new appreciation of composer Christopher Young’s scores for Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser Ii by Guy Adams

The film delves into hell, taking the audience and characters there, and shows us that the Cenobites were once humans themselves; a fact that would play heavily into subsequent movies. The inclusion of the Escher inspired hell-world, the unknowable god Leviathan, and the further machinations of Julia, expand the story and setting in ways that most horror sequels simply didn’t do. But it’s by no means perfect, and the over-designed nature of the Channard Cenobite and the destruction he wreaks feels like a foreshadowing of the third movie, and leads the final act of the film to be the weakest part of the movie.

Under the Skin: Doug Bradley on Hellraiser Iii - archival interview with the iconic actor about his third appearance as ‘Pinhead’ While the final product would have likely been nothing spectacular, Yagher’s original vision for a film that revolved less around Pinhead and more around the creation of the puzzle box itself, the Lament Configuration is fascinating. After leaving the project, over twenty five minutes of his original cut were trimmed down and television director Joe Chappelle was brought in for re-shoots and to make the product more “scary” with more Pinhead, a revised ending and Yagher’s original intended story. Bob Keen’s effects work here is jaw-dropping, as previously mentioned and some of the transformation sequences in the film as we see Frank return to a more humanistic form are fantastic. Christopher Young’s now-iconic score really adds to the theatrical feel of the picture and Barker’s direction is fairly excellent for a newcomer to the genre. owners of previous discs will be more than pleased with the picture improvements of this new 4K release...
