In the early 2010s, Time Out conducted a poll with several authors, directors, actors and critics who have worked within the horror genre to vote for their top horror films. [30] Hellraiser placed at number 80 on their top 100 list. [31] Home media [ edit ] Schwartzberg, Shlomo (17 July 1987). "Censors burn Hellraiser; Paramount chops Eddie's Cop". Toronto Star.

Featuring interviews with the cast and crew, it's an exhaustive look at the film and it's legacy all these years later. Doug Bradley, in particular, is a great contributor as he had been a part of the franchise for nearly 20 years and offers up a lot of perspective of where the series started and how it progressed.

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 Pain and suffering are but a couple of the pleasures man can enjoy when taken to the extreme. Pleasure took Frank Cotton (Oliver Smith and Robert Hines) to the depths of hell when he opened the mysterious puzzle box and was torn to pieces by the Cenobites (Doug Bradley, Grace Kirby, Nicholas Vince, and Simon Bamford). When the blood from a cut hand falls on the place where he died, Frank is resurrected. His onetime lover and now sister-in-law Julia (Clare Higgins) must help Frank recover by delivering fresh bodies for him to drain the blood from and rebuild his skinned body. Julia's husband Larry Cotton (Andrew Robinson) is completely unaware, but his young daughter Kirsty (Ashely Laurence) discovers the horrors living in the attic of the family home - and the only way to stop Frank and Julia's murderous schemes is to make a deal with the same devils who tore Frank to pieces. 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. He first appeared as a character in the Epic Hellraiser comics series and was portrayed as an older man, though still a creator of toys and singing birds. This version, created with the support of Clive Barker, was a mass murderer who used human fat and bone in the construction of his boxes. He was aided by a material given to him by the Cenobite known as Baron.

That Rat-Slice Sound - brand new appreciation of composer Christopher Young’s scores for Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser Ii by Guy Adams But Arrow has also added plenty of new goodies including interviews with actor Sean Chapman about the first two films; an interview with Coil’s Stephen Thrower about the band’s abandoned score for Hellraiser; the previously-believed lost deleted ‘Surgeon Scene’ from Hellbound: Hellraiser II (sourced from a 4:3 VHS workprint); 24-minutes of FX dailies from Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, an interview with actress Paula Marshall; and a gallery reprinting the comic book adaptation of the third film. For me, 'Hellraiser' is an exceptional piece of modern gothic horror. By playing with themes and ideas found within Dante's Inferno and putting a unique spin on the vampire mythos, 'Hellraiser' became a bloody, disgusting, and at times uncomfortable horror movie favorite. It also happened to be my introduction to what could be described as BDSM culture. This was a pre-internet era, after all, I couldn't just Google the stuff like kids can do today. I had to rent violent horror movies to understand that there was a subsection of the population that took pleasure in pain - at least controlled amounts of it. The thing that I always loved about the original 'Hellraiser' film is that it was - at least to me - about addiction and the effects it has on family. This is obviously a very loose interpretation but it's applicable. Uncle Frank has a problem that he ropes his brother's wife into and the results tear apart the entire family. On top of the blood, the guts, and the liberal usage of maggots and offal to depict some truly gut-churning imagery, 'Hellraiser' was a horrific movie and scary because it hit home. The terrors of Pinhead and the Cenobites were localized, they were intimate to the immediate characters and the rest of society was unaffected by these events. As a result, I became a Clive Barker fan and began reading his works. Newly uncovered workprint version of the film, providing a fascinating insight into how it changed during post production Being Frank: Sean Chapman on Hellraiser – actor Sean Chapman talks candidly about playing the character of Frank Cotton in Barker's originalBeing Frank: Sean Chapman on Hellbound – actor Sean Chapman talks about reprising the role of Frank Cotton in the first Hellraiser sequel The Pursuit of Possibilities - brand new 60-minute discussion between acclaimed horror authors Paula D.

Lost in the Labyrinth – archival featurette featuring interviews with Barker, Randel, Keen, Atkins and othersAn almost naked man, Frank sits cross legged holding a puzzle box. It is a dark room and he sits in a square of candles. Compared to Starz's original 2009 platter, Arrow's 1.85:1-framed 1080p encode of Hellraiser has a much more organic appearance, with far more native film grain present. Contrast and clarity also take a major step forwards in quality, helping resolve additional fine detail. Shot the following year with many of the same crew, it's hardly surprising that the 1.85:1 encode of Hellbound: Hellraiser II looks very similar. In an interview for Samhain magazine in July 1987, Barker mentioned some problems that censors had with more erotic scenes in the film: The Lament Configuration is featured only a small number of times as this movie and those after it were more psychological thrillers than horror movies and contained very little of what had been seen in previous movies. Being Frank: Sean Chapman on Hellraiser: (HD 26:24) The actor talks about how he got into acting very early on in his teens and how he came to be involved with 'Underworld' and then 'Hellraiser.'
