Hellraiser Movies: Anthology Era
The standalone Hellraiser films explore the Cenobite mythology through largely disconnected stories, each featuring the Lament Configuration as the connecting element. After the original timeline concluded with Bloodline, the franchise shifted to direct-to-video productions that offered different perspectives on how the puzzle box affects various protagonists.
These entries vary significantly in quality and approach, from psychological horror to more conventional supernatural thriller territory. While primarily for franchise completionists, some entries offer interesting takes on the Hellraiser universe's themes of desire, suffering, and transformation.
