That Rat-Slice Sound - appreciation of composer Christopher Young’s scores for Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II by Guy Adams – NEW (12 mins) Fresh out of theaters, currently available on VOD and now streaming exclusively on SCREAMBOX, Bloody Disgusting’s Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls is coming home for the holidays, arriving as a Collector’s Edition Blu-ray on December 19, loaded with bonus features, extended/deleted scenes, commentaries and an exclusive slipcover. Obviously, the above synopsis isn't exactly what Hellraiser is about… I just wanted to see if I could make this grim and dark pain-focused horror film sound like a heartfelt family drama you just might see on the Hallmark Channel. Instead, Clive Barker's magnum opus is a dark fairytale where things aren't all sunshine and rainbows. It dives down to the depths of obsession and addiction and the effect on the family. At least that's certainly one way you can look at it. Hellraiser was a frequent movie of discussion in film school because it's stark imagery and themes could be remixed and interpreted in a wide variety of ways - depending on whether or not you relate to the material.

Starring: Adam Faison, Aoife Hinds, Brandon Flynn, Drew Starkey, Goran Visnjic, Jamie Clayton, Jason Liles, Kit Clarke, Oessa A’Zion, Selina Lo, Yinka Olorunnife, Zachary Hing Archival features, including two audio commentaries, on-set interviews with Barker and crew, further interviews with Baker and Bradley, BTS footage, making of featurette, trailers and TV spots and image gallery – LEGACY Hellraiser has had its US release, both on the horror festival front and then on Hulu, which should immediately suggest it would be coming to the UK on Disney/Star. But... the launch of Paramount+ in the UK has complicated this issue, with international rights to release Hellraiser now potentially in the hands of them (it's coming to Paramount+ in Australia, for example). Only time will tell, but what it does mean is that it isn't out here yet, which is frustrating in the digital age, when day-and-date digital releases should be the norm (see: Netflix) rather than a pleasant surprise. down areas of the house. Gore effects -- dismembered body parts, torn flesh, and various blood-soaked odds and ends -- are highly detailed, and even aIf Paramount is handling international distribution, that means there are three potential avenues of release. The first is that the film will stream on Paramount Plus later this year, the second is that it’ll head to blu-ray in 2023, and the final option is that it will get a theatrical release later in the year or in early 2023. In regards to 2016's Ghostbusters (which i don't understand why you people are so fixated on even 6 years after its release) yeah sure the movie had problems and it was wrong for Paul Feig to double down on the whole culture war aspect of it but lets not fool ourselves because there was a shit ton of racist and misogynistic vitriol directed towards the cast, especially towards Leslie Jones. Hence any legit criticism of that film is forever tainted.

skimpy inclusion of just the film's trailer. For viewers who just want to watch Hellraiser in 1080p, the Image disc is a good option, but viewers a beautifully perverse series of images and characters that have never left the audience's consciousness... compression issues, and the like are mostly non-factors. The most noticeable area of separation between the Image and Anchor Bay releases is clearly Since its Sundance premiere, the energy surrounding the film has steadily grown with RogerEbert.com calling Onyx the Fortuitous “a handmade horror gem.”A few heavier effects, such as a train zipping across the soundstage, plays with a noticeable potency but also a noticeable absence of clarity. Dialogue is The biggest difference right off the bat between the two competing editions of Hellraiser is Image's ditching of Anchor Bay's Dolby TrueHD 5.1 In "Hellraiser," a young woman struggling with addiction comes into possession of an ancient puzzle box, unaware that its purpose is to summon the Cenobites, a group of sadistic supernatural beings from another dimension.

Hellraiser (2022), Jamie Clayton, Goran Visnjic, and Hiam Abbass. Hellraiser will debut exclusively on Hulu on October 7. All the new features don’t focus on the specifics of the films, but of the broader themes and context of the franchise. And they are all well worth watching, even if at times they veer into raging pretension. Digging into some of them, the two documentaries on the Hellbound disc are possibly the best two here, the first being a loose but fun deep dive into the film by a couple of friends which sounds like the kind of conversation you wish you had down your local, whilst the second fully appreciates the work that composer Young brings to the whole series. However the new features on the first film’s disc take an interesting look into Barker and what his work meant to people and it’s a lovely approach to take rather than regurgitate the same talking heads talking about the same film again. 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. years after the classic original (and its solid first sequel), and Hellraiser earns a surprisingly competent and suitably vicious reboot that may just give it a new lease of life.

something of a slightly washed out look to it, but the palette looks good in context, whether accurate flesh tones, bright blood red, or the earthen Audio commentary featuring genre historian (and unit publicist of Hellraiser) Stephen Jones with author and film critic Kim Newman - NEW 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… The Beauty of Suffering - featurette exploring the Cenobites' connection to goth, fetish cultures and BDSM – NEW (28 mins)
