Synopsis
This horror collection presents the first three HELLRAISER films, based on characters created by Clive Barker. See individual titles for more details.
HELLRAISER - Barker's feature directing debut graphically depicts the tale of a couple (Andrew Robinson and Clare Higgins) who move into an old house and discover a hideous creature--the man's half-brother (Sean Chapman), who is also the woman's former lover--hiding upstairs. Having lost his earthly body to a trio of S&M demons called the Cenobites, he is brought back into existence by a drop of blood on the floor. He soon forces his former mistress to bring him human sacrifices to complete his body...but the Cenobites won't be happy about this. The film is one of the best horror offerings of the 1980s, based on Barker's novel THE HELLBOUND HEART.
HELLRAISER II: HELLBOUND - Beginning just hours after the original HELLRAISER ended, HELLBOUND finds young Kirsty (Ashley Laurence) waking up in a mental institution because she insisted on describing her parents' murderers to the authorities as pain-loving demons from hell. Unfortunately, she has been placed in the car of Dr. Channard (Kenneth Cranham), who has devoted his life to solving the Lament Configuration, the key to the doorway of hell, and now, with Kirsty, he believes he has found another key. Resuscitating the skinless corpse of her stepmother, Julia (Clare Higgins), Dr. Channard succeeds in opening a doorway to hell, one that Julia, Channard, Kristy, and her mute friend, Tiffany (Imogen Boorman), all travel through.
HELLRAISER III: HELL ON EARTH - TV journalist Joey (Terry Farrell) gets drawn into the world of the supernatural while investigating a mysterious death. She discovers that a strange sculpture housed at a sleazy night club was responsible. The evil Cenobite, Pinhead (Doug Bradley), is released from the sculpture by a human sacrifice and proceeds to wreak havoc.

More Please!
The films themselves are fantastic, true horror classics. The box they come in is ok, nothing that special, the detail is minimal and there has been no effort whatsoever to disguise the fact its only cardboard. It clearly claims that it only has the first three movies in it, i just think it's a [...] that more of them arn't included, as there must be about 6 or 7 thus far. Oh well, perhaps they'll bring another one out with the next three films in (it could happen, Hellraiser 2 showed that there were more than one puzzle box). All in all a satisfactory boxset, with some cracking films in it

...one for the boys!
Last Year I didn't have a clue what to get my boyfriend for christmas. I came along this box set and thought I'd give it a try. He abolutely loved it! It was well worth it!
