Under the Skin: Doug Bradley on Hellraiser - archival interview with the iconic actor about his first appearance as ‘Pinhead’ something of a slightly washed out look to it, but the palette looks good in context, whether accurate flesh tones, bright blood red, or the earthen Lovable everyday demon Pinhead (Doug Bradley) is just trying to do the right thing - be he struggles with the deep dark evil inside himself.

Help isn't far when the beautiful Kirsty Cotton (Ashley Laurence) manages to solve the ancient puzzle box and summon Pinhead and his pain-prone friends Chatter (Nicholas Vince), Female (Grace Kirby), and Butterball (Simon Bamford) to stop Frank. But are they too late to save Kirsty and her father Larry (Andrew Robinson) from Frank and the diabolical Julia (Clare Higgins)?The big question with this release, however, is how it compares to Anchor Bay's fine and, unfortunately, out-of-print release.

Hellraiser was a frequent movie of discussion in film school because it's stark imagery and themes could be remixed and interpreted in a wide variety of ways - depending on whether or not you relate to the material.
