Hellraiser: The Scarlet Box review | Home Cinema Choice

Under the Skin: Doug Bradley on Hellraiser III: (SD 13:46) Bradley gives some great details about the crazy circumstances that went with the rights after New World collapsed and new producers began fiddling with the story and crew. The score for Hellraiser was released in 1987. [16] AllMusic stated that the score proved that Christopher Young "hadn't used up all of his ideas for the horror genre" and that Young had matched "Barker's stylish look with a gothic score that mixed in exciting synthesizer effects". [16] The music that Coil had recorded as a demo for their version of the score was later released as The Unreleased Themes for Hellraiser. Extras: What’s your pleasure? If you said bonus features, then this boxset is going to put a huge smile on your face. 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.

Unrated Version: (HD/SD 1:36:38) This cut of the film runs a few minutes longer but mostly only showcases some more blood and nudity. Since these extra scenes' original elements elements were missing, they were taken from a fullscreen LaserDisc so the quality notably shifts when they crop up, similar to how Scream Factory added scenes for their 'Exorcist III: Legion' cut, but of a decidedly higher quality. Film opens at the funeral of Adam, one of the friends who was obsessed with the game and was murdered by the Cenobites after, unknowingly, releasing them by solving the puzzle box, which was in his father's possession. 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.

Unboxing Hellraiser, a brand new visual essay celebrating the Lament Configuration by genre author Alexandra Benedict (The Beauty of Murder)

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. A US version of the Scarlet Box (with the same material) was released by Arrow on 20 December 2016.

Surgeon Scene: (SD 4:49) The long lost scene that was supposedly never shot appears here in workprint form. It's incomplete as they actually never shot the VFX sequences for it. All in all, it's understandable why it was cut, it's sillier when you see it than that infamous photo from the VHS box would have you believe.
