Arrow Video’s October lineup includes four HELLRAISER films in all-new 4K restorations from the original camera negatives, and a limited edition UHD of Fulci’s THE HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY.
HELLRAISER : QUARTET OF TORMENT - On Limited Edition 4K UHD
When he manages to escape, Frank returns to the world skinless and in need of help. Now his former lover Julia (Clare Higgins) must kill to make him whole again; but the Cenobites want Frank back, and there’ll be hell to pay when they find him.
HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II expands on Barker’s original vision as screenwriter Peter Atkins takes Julia Cotton, her step daughter Kirsty (Ashley Laurence) and the sinister Dr. Channard (Kenneth Cranham) into the dominion of the Cenobites themselves.
HELLRAISER III: HELL ON EARTH sees Pinhead set loose on the sinful streets of New York City to create chaos with a fresh cadre of Cenobitic kin.
Meanwhile, HELLRAISER: BLOODLINE sinks its hooks into past, present and future as it tells the story of Phillip LeMarchand, the 18th century toymaker who made the Lament Configuration puzzle box; his descendent John Merchant, a 20th century architect whose most recent building bears a striking resemblance to the Lament Configuration; and Dr. Paul Merchant, a 22nd century engineer and designer of The Minos, a space station that is a great deal more than it seems.
Experience the sublime agony of this quartet of torment like you never have before in all new 4K restorations from the original camera negatives. Hell has never looked better!
