 Clive Barker s feature directing debut graphically depicts the tale of a man and wife who move into an old house and discover a hideous creature - the man s half-brother, who is also the woman s former lover - hiding upstairs. Having lost his earthly body to a trio of S&M demons, the Cenobites, he is brought back into existence by a drop of blood on the floor. He soon forces his former mistress to bring him his necessary human sacrifices to complete his body... but the Cenobites won t be happy about this.
