SHOWTIMES AT IFC CENTER

New 4K restoration!

“We have such sights to show you…” In horror polymath Clive Barker’s adaptation of his novella The Hellbound Heart, horny hedonist Uncle Frank plays with a mysterious puzzle box, summons the Cenobites (led by Doug Bradley in an iconic performance) and endangers his unsuspecting niece (Ashley Laurence). A work of remarkable specificity and imagination, this inimitable, hot and bothered horror landmark is presented in a new 4K restoration.

“The best horror film ever to be made in Britain.” – Melody Maker
