This is coming out sept 27th I think and looks pretty interesting. Its going to have four dics and the first 3 movies. Costing only £22.49 as well from play.com. I havent actually seen any of the movies, as I've been holding out for this boxset. So... will any one else be buying this and is it worth it???

I guess the IMDB ratings speak for themselves.
Because only 3 are actually worth watching.
The other 3 are terrible beyond belief...well 4 and 5 are, haven't even bothered with 6.
4's one of the sh*ttest films I've ever seen and I usually love crappy Horror. They basically had a load of sets left over from other films and decided to make a Hellraiser that used them, the director was so embarassed of the film that he didn't even put his own name on it.
5 isn't even worth talking about.

How many Hellraiser's are there? Because I'm a bit confused as to why only three are in the Lament Configuration box set.
Cheesy one liners?
Pfffffffffft
"Jesus wept"
Now that's a f***ing line!
Hellraisers genius, sure some of the effects look a bit dated but the gore's all top fooking class even by todays standards. The fact that it's a British film makes it even better.

What scene was that? I dont remember any particularly scary bits, but i havent seen it in ages. The effects were sshockingly bad though, same with the cheesy one liners e.g. Go to hell!!!! O dear.

Swwwweeeeeettttttttt. Im sold :)
Hellraiser's probably my favourite horror film, no matter how many times I see it I find it never gets boring. Good to see Anchor Bay have finally got the uncut prints on all 3 films passed by the BBFC so I'll most definetly be buying the boxset.
The 2nd film I also loved and the 3rd had its moments, some nice gore especially the night club scene though it kinda lost the sense of terror and depravity of the first 2 films.
If you haven't seen them though I highly recommend picking up the boxset. The first film's one of the most original Horror's out there, it managed to pile on the gore and also be quite intelligent at the same time.

First one is the best with some great effects, especially the scene where a skellington grows out of the floor boards, only bettered by the scene in Hellbound where you're treated to seeing someone turn into a Cenobite (or, weird hell creature that enjoys torturing people). Third one was routine horror film that pished all over what happened in the first two, it does have a marginally good Nightclub massacre scene though.
For those interested, forget the DVD boxset, Play are selling a replica of the Puzzle Box for £60 [URL]http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page=title&r=GADG&title=149665[/URL] doesn't say whether it opens a gateway to hell though, or whether you'll get to meet Pinhead before he subjects you an eternity of pain and misery.
