ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker delves into the dark and transgressive pursuit of ultimate sensation. When Frank Cotton solves the intricate puzzle of Lemarchand's box, he inadvertently summons otherworldly beings known as Cenobites, who offer a reality where pain and pleasure intertwine. Years later, Frank's brother Rory and his wife Julia move into Frank's abandoned house. Haunted by a secret past with Frank, Julia becomes obsessed with the box and the potential for extreme experiences it represents, setting in motion a terrifying chain of events that blurs the lines between the living and the damned and explores the disturbing intersection of desire and suffering.
