A must have for any Hellraiser fans, Excellently presented in the 'box', tons of really good extras.
Very good special effects for its time with excellent custume design, from the twisted mind of Clive Barker.
I personally enjoyed Hellraiser 2 better than the original and the storylines are original, however Hellraiser 3 brings on a new twist to the story (dont forget to see Hellraiser 4: BLOODLINE).
Just for some information, here is a list of the extras
