Hellraiser Blu-Ray and Lament Configuration Box Set (2009)
Review by David Rupp


AT LAST… IT WILL TEAR YOUR SOUL APART IN BLU-RAY! “In 1987,” says Fangoria, “prolific genre author, painter and first-time filmmaker Clive Barker unleashed upon unwary audiences a flick that shook them to their core and forever redefined the face of genre cinema.” More than twenty years later, Barker’s original vision of pleasure, pain and the nightmare icon forever known as Pinhead have returned like you’ve never seen them before. Andrew Robinson, Ashley Laurence, Claire Higgins and Doug Bradley star in this immortal horror classic, now loaded with Extras for an experience beyond limits. Once again, the box is open. The Cenobites have been summoned. We have such sights to show you...finally in Blu-ray.

Starring: Ashley Laurence, Clare Higgins, Andrew Robinson
Director: Clive Barker

The story is one we all know well by now, but you have never seen it as crisp and clean as Anchor bay has released on Blu-Ray. I actually had to borrow a Blu-Ray player to check this one out and was glad I did. This was my cherry popping on hi-def, and never have I seen the carnage and bloodshed in such a high quality way.

Combine all this beautiful imagry with a killer box set in a great looking lament configuration box. High quality moulded plastic in gold tone and brown, covered in the detailed glyphs and designs that bring forth the cenobites cradled gently within.

All in al a great experience, a must have for the serious collector.Not to mention all the extras and features you get I end up giving this whole package a 10/10.
