Supernatural horror written and directed by Clive Barker, adapting his own novella 'The Hellbound Heart'. When sexual profligate Frank Cotton (Sean Chapman) opens a puzzle box purported to grant access to a place of unparalleled pleasure, he is taken away to be tormented by the resident Cenobites led by Pinhead (Doug Bradley). Frank's brother Larry (Andrew Robinson) and his wife Julia (Clare Higgins) then move into Frank's house where Larry inadvertently summons Frank's spirit.

Now trapped in a monstrous form, Frank asks Julia to supply him with victims so that he can regenerate, but the Cenobites will not let him go so easily...
