Hellraiser (2022) [DVD]

Product Information

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 clear winner between the two, but not enough, necessarily, to push potential viewers away if this is the only disc available. Image's 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.

Power of Imagination - discussion about Hellraiser and the work of Clive Barker by film scholars Sorcha Ní Fhlainn (editor of Clive Barker: Dark Imaginer) and Karmel Kniprath – NEW (58 mins) We have no idea at this time whether or not Hellraiser will be released on DVD/Blu-ray here in the United States, but we’ve learned the film is hitting DVD over in the United Kingdom.

As of October 2022, Hellraiser 2022 does not have a UK-based distributor, so you cannot watch it in the UK. As the film’s being released on the streaming service Hulu in the US, there was speculation it would land on Disney Plus like other Hulu projects, but for whatever reason, that’s not happening this time. I really enjoyed this film. I always felt the budget could never match the scope of imagination embedded in the Hellraiser films, and here we are, what we see on screen matches the imagination. The story is not as good as the original, but it is better than a lot of the sequels. I feel more effort was put into getting the lore right for this film than making a truly engaging story but that’s ok. Do I want to see more of this brand of Hellraiser, yes I do.

And so the sequel, Hellbound: Hellraiser II, was rushed into production during the finalisation of the first film and released barely twelve months after. Problems plagued the hastily assembled production, from actors refusing to return forcing script rewrites, to financial problems with production company New World Pictures, the final film is a scruffy, messy expansion of the first that still manages to offer up some stunning designs and scenes and a delicious peak into the mythos of the Cenobites and of Hell itself. nevertheless proves to be the superior version. It's perhaps a hair crisper than the Image release. Fine detail is comparable, with a slight edge again as -- if not more so -- disturbing, sinister, and terrifying. He combines the grace of Dracula with the frightening and Since its Sundance premiere, the energy surrounding the film has steadily grown with RogerEbert.com calling Onyx the Fortuitous “a handmade horror gem.”
