funny how the Leviathan in that movie looks like an elongated version of the ETH logo
now why would the director choose to depict the Leviathan as a prism?
interesting choice

>I think that the labyrinth represents the labyrinth of the human mind/psyche with the PRISM (aka the God of the labyrinth called Leviathan in the movie) representing the seat of your consciousness, hence it's central position within the labyrinth. Where the light of the PRISM shines represents where you direct your conscious attention and focus, a kind of mind's eye, but instead of taking light it, it shines light out on the object of it's attention (just like a spotlight). This aspect of the deity is very Saturnian (where Saturn's gaze is known to crippling and dire effects).

in this scene of Hellraiser, she introduces the doctor character to Leviathan, Lord of the Labryinth
The Cenobites are a monastic order in service to their god Leviathan. Leviathan rules an extra-dimensional realm called The Labyrinth. In that clip it is depicted as a giant living Lament Configuration in the form of a PRISM, but presumably a god can take many forms. In this movie, it is not a stand-in for the biblical devil, but a true alien being of tremendous power and influence.

I think that the labyrinth represents the labyrinth of the human mind/psyche with the PRISM (aka the God of the labyrinth called Leviathan in the movie) representing the seat of your consciousness, hence it's central position within the labyrinth. Where the light of the PRISM shines represents where you direct your conscious attention and focus, a kind of mind's eye, but instead of taking light it, it shines light out on the object of it's attention (just like a spotlight). This aspect of the deity is very Saturnian (where Saturn's gaze is known to crippling and dire effects).

As the movie depicts, the labyrinth is a maze that you can never escape from, just as you cannot escape your own mind. It's an interesting idea at least and one way of interpreting it.
