Hear My Eyes: 'Hellraiser'
Sydney Film Festival 2024 is raising horror hell with an 80s classic scoring an all-new soundtrack, plus a live laser performance.
Overview
There's no need to solve a puzzle box to gain entry to one of the highlights of Sydney Film Festival 2024 for horror lovers. All that you need is a ticket to the latest performance by Hear My Eyes, the screening series that pops up regularly — including in the Harbour City — with beloved flicks treated to a brand-new score played live while viewers lock their eyes on the big screen.
The latest film getting the Hear My Eyes treatment: the OG Hellraiser. If you're not a fan of horror, don't say that you haven't been warned. Novelist Clive Barker's first feature as a director adapted his novella The Hellbound Heart, introduced the world to Cenobites and started a franchise that reached its 11th instalment with the 2022 reboot also called Hellraiser.
To make stirring music to go with the movie, Hieroglyphic Being aka Jamal Moss is heading from Chicago to Sydney's City Recital Hall for one sessions at 7pm on Wednesday, June 12. Pinheads, that's how you spend a midweek evening.
As for the lasers, none other than Robin Fox of Constellation, Disapora, Quadra and Triptych fame — and Beacon at MONA, too — is helping to ramp up what's set to be a stunner (and a spine-tingler) of a multi-sensory experience.
