Hellraiser

About Hellraiser (2022)

A chilling revitalization of Clive Barker's 1987 cult horror, Hellraiser is an unnerving exploration of pain, pleasure, and the fine line that separates them. The film is directed by David Bruckner and plunges the audience into a terrifying journey about a young woman, struggling with addiction, who stumbles upon an ancient puzzle box. Unknown to her, the purpose of this box is to summon the Cenobites, a sect of sadistic supernatural entities from a parallel dimension. As she is further drawn into their twisted world, the lines between deliverance and damnation become blurred, culminating in a blood-curdling climax.
