After a fairly low-key streaming release last year, the 2022 reboot of Hellraiser is getting a UK DVD release.
Amazon has slated the release for 27 March 2023, but sadly this will be a barebones release with no extra content.
David Bruckner’s take on Clive Barker’s 1987 classic sees a young woman struggling with addiction come into possession of an ancient puzzle box, unaware that its purpose is to summon the Cenobites.
While many will be excited to see Jamie Clayton’s take on the Hell Priestess, the film is largely dominated by the nuance performance of Odessa A’zion as the haunted Riley that really drives the film. This isn’t to take anything away from Clayton, who once on-screen alongside her other horrifying looking cenobites, simply dominates scenes by just being there.
The other area Hellraiser succeeds is in the cenobite design and the gory demises of victims, which are simply grotesque and will have some viewers wincing. This is what Hellraiser is meant to be – weird, gruesome and a bit perverted.
