The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a series of films, television shows, and video games made by Marvel Entertainment. It began with the release of the film Iron Man (2008), and continued with The Avengers (2012), Thor: Ragnarok (2018), Black Panther (2018), and Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018). The universe is composed of six films, two television shows, and ten video games.
What is the Leviathan in Hellraiser?
We heard the name Leviathan twice in the film, but we were never sure what it meant. The concept, or the name Leviathan, is not a new invention. It has been mentioned in folklore for centuries, albeit ominously.
The deity residing inside the extra-dimensional world known as The Labyrinth that is the overlord ruling the Cenobites, including their masters’ Pinhead and The Engineer. It refers to the power residing within the puzzle box.
Voight wanted to be the one to kill the Priest all along, but probably didn’t make the best decision in the beginning. The Priest also pointed that out in the climax of the film when she admits they “read him wrong.” It is under this entity that the Cenobites are compelled to practice the dark exercise of masochism. ..
How does the puzzle box work exactly?
The Cenobites are a group of creatures that live in a box that has six sides and six configurations. The possessor can move them around to arrive at different versions of it. A small blade-like knife is concealed within the box, which can be said to be the “tongue” of the Cenobites. Each configuration represents a different vice. Leviathan, the one that Voight desired the most, is for power.
The person who has the final configuration is granted passage to another realm to have an audience with God. They can then choose their ultimate desire from that God, the substance of which might not be what they expected. Voight tragically discovers this when he tries to access his final configuration.
Whenever a person chooses one of the configurations, the blade usually strikes their hand. This draws blood and when the box consumes the blood, a doorway to an other-dimensional world opens up. The Cenobites then emerge to get their claim. It almost seems like the person belongs to them once they have tampered with the box and the knife has tasted blood. The mark is on their back but the Pinhead or Priest has the option to give them over to offer up another person as a sacrifice in their place. ..
The fact that the beings have decided to mark themselves instead of choosing someone randomly indicates a higher level of intelligence. It shows that they believe in equality, which may be a flawed idea. The “marked” who are chosen to die must choose someone else to send with them, in case they are allowed to do so. ..
Where do the victims of the Cenobites go?
This film does not provide an explanation for the title Hellraiser. Every viewer of the movie must know what it means. When Riley asks The Priest about their identity, they reply with this cryptic answer. “Explorers in the further regions of experience and sensation’s realm.” Voight, for instance, as confirmed by Serena, called them “angels.”
The Labyrinth is a place where most of the victims go. Cenobites mutilate them and torture them as we saw happening to Matt, Nora, and the others.
Some humans are taken to be made into fellow Cenobites. The creature was originally a human. That is why the creatures are called “humanoids”. They are taken to Hell to be remade in a Transformation Chamber operated by the Engineer.
The procedure is excruciatingly painful as the victim’s body is excessively mutilated and their blood is siphoned out of their body, to be replaced with blue fluid. The subject’s mind breaks completely, to the point where they become completely devoid of their memories. Essentially, a lobotomy. ..
Why does the Priest call the contraptions the “gift of sensation” when it causes pain to Voight?
The movie has mixed intentions about the knowledge that the Cenobites possess about sensations like pain and pleasure. Although the books say that they don’t, there were some contradictions to that in the movie. For example, in one instance, the Pinhead confronted Riley and asked her to “bring them another man’s pain”. This suggests that they do know about these things, even if they don’t want to admit it. ..
The Cenobites use the technology to deceive humans into thinking they are about to be tortured, but in reality they are using it for their own purposes. It is almost like mocking the humans they enslave by using them as tools. So, the answer to this question is probably a mix of both observations.
Why does Riley choose the Lament configuration?
Riley made the right choice by going to meet Matt’s apparition in Voight’s steel cage. When she wanders off on her own and goes down towards the well, she sees Matt. She is immediately overwhelmed and goes to hug him. ..
Initially, everything seems normal. But then the visuals change and she realizes that Matt has been flagged and tortured so much that his skin has been peeled off. She sees in the mirror his flailed back and is horrified to have lost her brother. ..
When she sees Voight with the contraption, she realizes that it is all a trick. Voight himself confirms it. She says that the Cenboties play with the humans by luring them in with the promise of great pleasures but giving them pain instead. This is the reason why she chose to go with the Lament configuration and ask for nothing in return from the Cenobites. After she does, they all leave and the box is kept still in the hall. Matt, as Riley knew, was gone and unretrievable.
She had to live with the regret of having sent her loved ones to hell because of her own actions. The weight is heavy but she will have to carry it to her grave.
What happens to Roland Voight after he is taken?
Riley and Trevor lure Hellraiser’s Cenobite, Pinhead, into a dark and dank room. They promise him a life of luxury if he agrees to become their servant. Although it is morally on the right side, this offer will have serious consequences for Hellraiser’s future.
The man is slow at first but something clicks and he becomes like Usain Bolt, chasing the two around the house. They’re eventually able to lure him into the steel cage at the center of the house. With luck, they trap him between one of the doors.
Riley is thrown to the other side of the door and loses hold of the box with the blade. She asks Colin to do it instead but he cannot find it despite looking in the right place. Voight, desperate for redemption, stabs Colin with the blade.
Riley crawls through the opening beneath the Cenobite and opens all the doors, allowing Voight to be preoccupied with Pinhead. Leviathan too descends in an epic visual moment. Colin, who was actually benefiting from the closed doors, now must face the Cenobite in front of him. ..
Riley and Colin head for the center room as the Cenobite takes away Trevor. She starts to torture him but Riley soon arrives with Trevor. She says she will offer another in his place and stabs Trevor, as revenge for his betrayal. The Cenobite then takes away Trevor instead and Riley and Colin head for the center room. ..
Pinhead takes back Voight’s contraption, as he requested. His body starts healing and he thinks he has won. But this time, he demanded Leviathan, power, from Pinhead and she obliges. It is certainly not what he thinks it would be as a giant arm-like structure impales him through the window in the ceiling and takes him up to Leviathan. ..
Riley and Colin are discussing what Riley wants for her part in the Lament Configuration, but she does not say anything. The Cenobites come back and ask what Riley wants, but she doesn’t say anything. They leave and Riley and Colin begin to live with regret for the rest of their lives.
Voight became a Cenobite because he wished to become one. The other creatures of his kind also would have done the same at some point. ..
After Voight’s coronation as the new king of the vampires, he is now able to exert his power and dominion over mortals in a much more complete way than ever before. ..
