A special feature film clip of the movie “Hellraiser <4K>” (English title: Hellraiser), which will be released nationwide at Cinemart Shinjuku and other theaters on December 8 (Fri.), has been released.
The film is a 4K digitally remastered version of the 1987 British horror film based on Clive Barker’s novel “Hellbound Heart,” which is still very popular, with a remake to be released in 2022. The film depicts the relationship between a couple who move into a mansion and their husband’s brother, who has obtained a mysterious puzzle box that “brings extreme pleasure” and is torn to pieces by mages.
In the newly released footage, which was shot using state-of-the-art technology at the time of the film’s release in the 1980s, we can see the depiction of a once-human being “resurrected” with his bones and flesh restored.

◆Synopsis
A husband, Larry, and his wife, Julia, move into a mansion. One day, Larry is injured in the attic and a frightening looking man appears. The man is Larry’s brother, Frank. In fact, Frank had obtained a mysterious puzzle box that brought him extreme pleasure, and by solving the puzzle, he was torn to pieces by mages and lost his body, but he was awakened by the blood that Larry spilled. Frank plans to revive Julia, his former lover, by sacrificing her flesh and blood, but Kirsty, the daughter of Larry’s ex-wife, senses her stepmother’s suspicious behavior.
