An almost naked man, Frank sits cross legged holding a puzzle box. It is a dark room and he sits in a square of candles.
I was bored.
A close-up of the puzzle box.
Chains fall from the ceiling.
I'd gone to the limit.
Frank continues to look at the puzzle box.
Chains swing around a lightbulb.
A statue in front of a stained glass window at night with a bright light shining through.
A pair of hands hold and rotate the puzzle box.
There was nothing else I wanted.
A sharp noise is heard and Frank looks up.
Light starts to appear through a darkened grate.
Frank's eyes look around the room.
On the other side, light appears through another grate.
His fingers touch the side of the puzzle box.
A box.
A strange shape rotates.
The box begins to open.
Not just any box.
A huge, heavy stone door opens slowly. Thick cobwebs block the way.
It opens doors.
A woman in a shadow, Julia, looks on with her hands clasped together.
A dark, shadowy corridor. It looks very spooky. Thick stone walls are on the side.
Julia looks at Frank as she holds her hand.
Frank slowly looks up, his face satisfied with pleasure.
Doors to the pleasures of heaven...or hell.
Frank kisses Julia passionately.
The puzzle box opens.
Two nuns make way on a suburban street. They both look concerned.
An object rotates. There appears to be things hanging from it but it's covered in darkness.
Julia stands close behind Frank.
I'll do anything you want.
The puzzle box shines in the light.
We slowly walk down the spooky corridor again.
Julia whispers behind Frank.
Anything.
Frank raises his arms. His face is covered in blood.
Surrounded by darkness, Frank shakes his blood covered face.
You gave me an experience beyond the limits.
Frank sits in the candlelit square looking at the box.
The puzzle box closes and lights up.
Frank screams.
Julia staggers back in fright.
Light comes in from the grates.
Julia, in shock, breathlessly whispers.
Oh my god!
Outside a large house at night, the rooms all light up.
A young woman, Kirsty, turns around.
A sharp noise as the light appears again through the grate.
Ashley falls to the ground to pick up the puzzle box.
Give me that box!
As she touches it, electricity runs through her arm.
She turns around nervously then gasps.
A bald cenobite taps its hook on the wall.
An outline of a statue.
Give me the box!
The top of the puzzle box piece rotates.
Kirsty turns and runs.
Chains from the ceiling clatter together.
Kirsty runs down the corridor.
Smoke starts to appear in the wall.
A frightened Kirsty continues to run towards a room with a hospital bed.
She falls to the floor.
She turns around.
Without her noticing, behind her stands the lead cenobite, Pinhead.
We have such sights to show you!
The puzzle box opens and a shaft of light emits from it.

We Have Such Sights To Show You…
In the 1980s, Clive Barker changed the face of horror fiction, throwing out the rules to expose new vistas of terror and beauty, expanding the horizons for every genre writer who followed him. With Hellraiser, his first feature film, he did the same for cinema.
Hedonist Frank Cotton (Sean Chapman) thinks he has reached the limits of earthly pleasure. But a mysterious puzzle box will take him further than he can possibly imagine, opening the doors to a dominion where pain and pleasure are indivisible and summoning the Cenobites, whose experiments in the higher reaches of experience will tear his soul apart. 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. Then, Hellraiser: Bloodline sinks its hooks into past, present and future with 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 which 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!

Disappointing
Yesterday I finally got to pop the first disc into the player, but I got really disappointed. I had hoped for the image quality to be better restored than what it was. The quality between the scenes was shifting up and down, and this took away some of the enjoyment. The artwork and the included booklet is awesome.

Ordered the Wrong One 🤷♂️
In my haste I order the Hellraiser: Quartet of Torment Blu Ray rather than the 4K UHD. However, I feel like it all turned out the way it needed to. I’m accustomed to watching the first four Hellraiser movies on VHS and/or on Amazon Prime. With the Quartet of Terror Blu Ray, each scene blowed me away! The clarity is amazing, even in dark scenes! I’m able to see details that I’ve never, ever been able to observe in the past. There’s a mild bit of film grain, which is actually nice as it retains its nostalgic feel. I’m sure the 4K UHD is really nice, but the Blu Ray looks and feels like the perfect balance between the feel and look of the old. I’m happy with the purchase of the Quartet of Terror Blu Ray.
