Arrow Films UK are releasing HELLRAISER (1987) on 4K Ultra HD on February 26th. Its a Dark Water Arrow Store Exclusive, available to Pre-order from their website for £22.00.  Hellraiser

 

The package includes one 4K Ultra HD disc housed in a slip box with reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Dare Creative. Also included is a double-sided fold-out poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Dare Creative.

 

HELLRAISER: 4K Ultra HD • Dolby Vision/DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1/Original Lossless Stereo • 1.85:1 • 94 Minutes

 

HE'LL TEAR YOUR SOUL APART.

 

Stephen King was once famously quoted as saying, "I have seen the future of horror... his name is Clive Barker." That future was realised in 1987 with the release of Barker's directorial debut Hellraiser.

 

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.

 

Introducing the world to the iconic Pinhead, Hellraiser became an instant genre classic upon release and remains one of the most frighteningly original visions in horror.

 

   

 

FYI: I ordered two films directly from Arrow and the parcel arrived today in perfect condition. It only took about a week to arrive from the UK. Recommended.

Arrow Films UK are also releasing HELLRAISER: Tetralagy on 4K Ultra HD on February 26th which will include four Hellraiser films. Its a Dark Water Arrow Store Exclusive, available to Pre-order from their website for £45.00  Hellraiser: Tetralagy

 

The package will include: Hellraiser (1987), Hellraiser II: Hellbound (1988), Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992) and Hellraiser IV: Bloodline (1996). The films will be housed in Special Edition packaging featuring newly commissioned artwork and reversible sleeves by Matt Griffin.

 

HELLRAISER: Tetralagy: All four films Specs.: 4K Ultra HD • Dolby Vision/DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1/Original Lossless Stereo •

 

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 stepdaughter 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 IV: Bloodline sinks its hooks into past, present and future with the story of Philip 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 the original Hellraiser tetralogy with these 4K restorations from the original camera negatives. Hell has never looked better!

On November 17th 2020, Sony released in the USA a 4K Box Set of the six original Resident Evil films. Its a nice set with the 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray of each film in their own individual DigiPak packaging, inside a sturdy collector's box. Some time ago I added the set to my Amazon US wish list @ US$95.99. Just yesterday there was a price drop to US$60.49 which would be roughly NZ$100 when GST etc. is added. Shipping is free. All discs are Region Free.

 

Resident Evil Box Set

 

I have owned the films on Blu-ray disc, but I sold them when I erroneously decided to go 💯 Digital. There are some weak episodes among these films, but overall I love 'em. Great Home Cinema movies.

Shout Factory have three new release Collector's Editions coming up on March 19th. All three are up for Pre-order on Amazon US and will likely be available at Amazon AU after release. Price on Amazon US is US$39.98 but expect it to drop to around US$30 on release.

 

All three films include a 4K Ultra HD (Region Free) and Blu-ray (Region A Locked) disc.

 

K•19: The Widowmaker (2002)

 

At the height of the 1960s Cold War, Russia launches its flagship nuclear submarine, the K-19. In command is iron-willed Captain Alexei Vostrikov (Harrison Ford). Also aboard is the popular executive officer Mikhail Polenin (Liam Neeson), who clashes with Vostrikov, but shares his unwavering patriotism. As the K-19 heads toward American waters, a shocking discovery is made: the vessel's nuclear reactor system is leaking, imperiling the men and the sub's missiles. With time running out, the fearless Vostrikov and his crew join together as brave countrymen who must decide the true meaning of duty, honor and sacrifice.

 

CARRIE (2013)

 

After merciless taunting from classmates and abuse at the hand of her religious fanatic mother (Julianne Moore), Carrie (Chloë Grace Moretz) lets her anger get the best of her ... and her telekinetic powers are unleashed. And when a prom prank goes horribly wrong, events spiral out of control until the terrifying conclusion of this powerful, pulse-quickening horror story.

 

CHILD'S PLAY (2019)

 

From the producers of It, comes this shocking re-imagining of the 1988 horror classic. Realizing that her son Andy (Gabriel Bateman) is lonely, Karen (Aubrey Plaza) buys him a seemingly innocent, AI-enhanced doll named Chucky. But Chucky's safety restrictions have been disabled, and soon, a gruesome series of events unfolds. Unable to convince his mom that the doll is responsible for the carnage, Andy becomes the target of the bloodthirsty Chucky!.

Taking over the reins from Best Buy US; Walmart have an AQUAMAN and the LOST KINGDOM exclusive SteelBook on their website. I was hoping that Amazon would have got the exclusives from Best Buy, but unfortunately not.

 

The good news for those interested in this title is that this will most likely be the SteelBook that we get over here. JBAU have it for Pre-order, but the final artwork hasn't been confirmed.
