A suitable companion to the similarly boxed, but far superior 4 disc set of the first 3 Hellraiser movies Hellraiser Puzzle Box [1987] [DVD], but with an Anglo-Dutch emphasis.
The box contains 8 discs one for each of the movies but unlike the earlier puzzle cube set which was jam packed full of extras these are the basic discs.
If you are a fan you know what to expect from the movies, if not then give them a try. The first three movies are excellent, others less so but it's nice to have them all in one place at last.
From part 5 onwards the original cenobites take on lesser roles as arbiters of human decisions each one taking a slight deviation.
4 - Bloodline - takes us into the history of the box from 18th century France to a 22nd century space station.
5 - Inferno - a policeman invesitates murders where the killer leaves a child's fingers as clues.
6 - Hellseeker - after a car crash a man tries to find out what happened to his wife's body. Ashley Laurence returns as Kirsty.
7 - Deader - a reporter investigates a resurrection cult
8 - Hellworld - a nod towards the gaming genre, stars genre icon Lance Henriksen.
As regards the discs themselves, each movie is on one disc, when you start Hellraiser the first thing you see is a copyright warning in Dutch, when the movie starts you may get Dutch subtitles but you can switch them off on your DVD, it's mildly annoying not to have the option to kill them from the start menu.
All 8 discs are extremely light on the extras front, the first movie has most but these are confined to 4 short interviews with Writer Director Clive Barker and leads Andrew Robinson, Ashley Laurence and Clare Higgins.
Most of the other discs have just trailers, part 5 has a short interview with Doug Bradley (Pinhead).
If you already have the discs there's probably nothing here to really tempt you other than the box gimmick.

i love these films but seeing the box online is a bit deceptive. i was so pleased to find this box set but when it arrived, i found it was a square with a hole in the middle, big enough to put the puzzle cube. hmmm. now there's an idea. why didn't someone suggest a plastic or wooden cube inside that would fill the space. as it is, they may as well not have bothered with the cube box. it's just a waste of cardboard. :(
I bought this for my girlfriend and was then unfortunately 'encouraged' to watch all eight movies with her. The movies themselves generally are pretty terrible. The first is a classic and is well worth checking out and the fourth one is pretty interesting as well. The rest though are a confusing mess that don't seem to follow any rules in particular as Cenobytes (or however you spell it) come pouring out of the box and hack up any old bugger that gets in the way. Regardless of whether they have even had a sniff of the box itself which goes against all the rules they lay down in the first movie but anyway, I am sounding like a nerd. Onto the box itself.
It looks very nice. Nice and shiny with an intricate design although there is no texture to it, just a flat cube. Once you take the lid off the box is likely to fall open the first time as you swear at it and wonder if it will ever stop opening up. It does of course and once you squint at it for a bit it is nice and easy to put back together. In terms of extra content, there isn't any. The box came with a sheet of paper on the outside that showed what you get but that's about it. Special features on the DVDs are sparse and there wasn't even a menu on a couple of them, can't remember the last time I came cross that.
The box is pretty sturdy when it's all cubed up and it looks nice on a shelf. Overall a pretty nice item for any Hellraiser fans.
