The Hellraiser franchise is among the best in horror, and Pinhead is among the most iconic of horror figures… and we love it all at Yell! Magazine. And there’s just something special about death by CD, am I right?
Yes, the franchise has had its ups and downs, but there’s no denying Clive Barker’s impact with them. So, it only makes sense to honor them 25 years later with a documentary, entitled Leviathan: The Story of Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II.
Leviathan is feature-length and covers a lot of ground, some of which is covered in the press release below.
Leviathan: The Story of Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II Press Release:
Leviathan: The Story of Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II is a feature length documentary uncovering the history, making of and unknown details of the making of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II films.
With interviews and testimonies from those most closely involved, we hope to bring a comprehensive insight to these classic cult films.
Following the story of the films from their inception through production to release and the their subsequent lives and growing fan base, we aim to show fans and those less familiar with the films both the technical skills, the creative idea, the symbolism and the legacy of these movies.
Delving deep into the director’s vision and ambitions for the project we’ll be exploring where he came from, where his career had taken him and the inspiration for the story and world he created. We’ll be telling the story of his journey of making them and how close they came to his vision at the time and how he feels about them over 25 years later.
You can keep up with the Hellraiser doc via its official Facebook page.
How excited are you for this? Is it something that you plan to watch?
