Hellraiser
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.
The definitive version of Clive Barker's masterpiece. In a place between
pleasure and pain, there is a sensual experience beyond limits. And in a
world between paradise and purgatory, there is a horror that feeds the
souls of evil. Welcome to the singular vision of Clive Barker and his
landmark horror opus, "Hellraiser." Now for the first time ever,
experience this horror classic in an all-new version, fully re-mastered
in state-of-the-art Dolby Digital 5.1 supervised by THX and packed with
extras personally compiled by writer/director Clive Barker, this is
"Hellraiser" as you've never seen or heard it before. Now there truly
are no limits.
Nightbreed
Troubled twentysomething Craig Sheffer is haunted by violent dreams of
serial killings and nocturnal invitations by misshapen creatures who
live in a misty, mysterious land called Midian. Adapted and directed by
Clive Barker (Hellraiser) from his novel Cabal, this
tribute to the magical creatures of the night plays like a Jungian
reinterpretation of classic myths with a modern twist. Nightbreed are
the dead reborn as monsters of legend, fantasies, and nightmares who
form their own outcast society in an underground city beneath an Alberta
graveyard. Visionary horror director David Cronenberg steps in front of
the camera to play Sheffer's unscrupulous psychiatrist, an eerie,
unsettling character whose dark side is hidden under a soft-spoken
manner and an eerily calm and controlled voice.
Lord Of Illusions
From best-selling author and celebrated director Clive Barker comes a
supernatural thriller that rips apart the boundaries between sanity and
madness, between the art of illusion and the terrifying forces of magic.
With heart-stopping suspense, masterful visual effects (Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times) and non-stop terror, it's a riveting journey into the
shadowy corners of the human soul. Scott Bakula ( Quantum Leap )
portrays Harry D Amour, a private detective visiting Los Angeles on a
routine investigation. Harry gets more than he bargains for when he
encounters Philip Swann (Kevin J. O Connor), a performer whose amazing
illusions captivate the world. But are they really illusions? Harry
isn't so sure as he is thrust into a nightmare of murder, deception and
terrifying assaults from the dark beyond.
