Hellraiser (1987)

Supernatural horror written and directed by Clive Barker, adapting his own novella 'The Hellbound Heart'. When sexual profligate Frank Cotton (Sean Chapman) opens a puzzle box purported to grant access to a place of unparalleled pleasure, he is taken away to be tormented by the resident Cenobites led by Pinhead (Doug Bradley). Frank's brother Larry (Andrew Robinson) and his wife Julia (Clare Higgins) then move into Frank's house where Larry inadvertently summons Frank's spirit. Now trapped in a monstrous form, Frank asks Julia to supply him with victims so that he can regenerate, but the Cenobites will not let him go so easily...4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS4K restoration from the original camera negatives by Arrow Films4K Ultra HD Blu-ray (2160p) presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible)Original lossless stereo and DTS-HD MA 5.1 surround audioOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingAudio commentary featuring genre historian (and unit publicist of Hellraiser) Stephen Jones with author and film critic Kim NewmanArchival audio commentary with writer/director Clive Barker and actor Ashley Laurence, moderated by Peter AtkinsArchival audio commentary with writer/director Clive BarkerPower of Imagination, 60-minute discussion about Hellraiser and the work of Clive Barker by film scholars Sorcha Ní Fhlainn (editor of Clive Barker: Dark Imaginer) and Karmel KniprathUnboxing Hellraiser, visual essay celebrating the Lament Configuration by genre author Alexandra Benedict (The Beauty of Murder)The Pursuit of Possibilities, 60-minute discussion between acclaimed horror authors Paula D.
