Description

We have such sights to show you. The iconic Hell Priest returns in HELLRAISER, an all-new interpretation of Clive Barker's classic tale, directed by David Bruckner (THE NIGHT HOUSE), with a new cast of characters drawn into the nightmarish world of the cenobites, where pain and pleasure meet. Riley is a young girl looking for her brother who believes the key to his disappearance is a puzzle box called the Lament Configuration. However, she cannot possibly comprehend the dark forces the box will unleash and the shocking truth behind her brother's disappearance. Unleashing the cacophony of hell is Ben Lovett (SYNCHRONICITY, THE NIGHT HOUSE), who brings a fresh angle to the music of the franchise while still respecting the epic neo-gothic palette of original composer Christopher Young. Lovett's score is both seductive and sickening, using the beauty of the piano and the ferocity of low-frequency electronics to paint a sordidly stunning picture of Riley's demented ordeal in the world of hell. It's also patient to a fault, content to sit back and not give you the empty pleasures of everything at once, instead carefully edging until the full power of the cenobites is ready to be released—an experience beyond limits.
