60 of 622 · most liked firstThread. Will be updated as needed. I hold the following horror movie takes to be true: 1. Final Dest is the most consistent franchise. 2. The best films from the major franchises are Dream Warriors & Hellraiser 2. 3. Alien is horror. 4. Silence of the Lambs is horror. 5. Terminator is a slasher.

neutral · AI labelView post →Just like you can make a great Predator movie by suddenly having it show up halfway through a period piece, you could make a great Hellraiser movie by having the cenobites show up halfway through a romcom
neutral · AI labelView post →man do you ever just think about how cool HELLRAISER is? for a low-budget film? The ambition.
positive · AI labelView post →Personally I don't think they should have made a Hellraiser for kids but I'm not movie exec
neutral · AI labelView post →"what do the Cenobites want" is a coward's question. they're the embodiment of violent, misshapen desire. they're interdimensional perverts with a hankerin' for skin peeling. any specifics you invent beyond that are going to be, at best, forgettable. for examples, see every Hellraiser movie after 2.

neutral · AI labelView post →What's the a movie you genuinely enjoy that is known for being bad? I love Hellraiser 4. Its not good. They go to space in this one
positive · AI labelView post →Unfinished portrait of Clare Higgins as Julia from Hellraiser 2, painted and abandoned in November '21. One of my favorite characters from any horror movie. I can't remember why I didn't finish it, it doesn't look so bad now. #art, #horror, #DarkArt, #portrait

Scott has revealed in a new interview that after appearing in Hellraiser 4, he auditioned for the 6th film, Hellraiser: Hellseeker! "I go to the audition thinking, ‘Maybe they won’t notice that I was in Hellraiser IV.'" He didn't get the part.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm trying to watch the 2022 Hellraiser movie while I sketch but I forgot it's from the era of movies where they didn't light the set. It's so dark and so murky I adjusted my monitor and I can still barely see anything. 😭
negative · AI labelView post →Tonight's film Hellraiser (1987)
neutral · AI labelView post →I came to The Substance late, and I just want to say the fact that this film, which is as violent and disgusting as Hellbound: Hellraiser II, got nominated for Best Picture at the goddamned Oscars makes me feel like I fell into the Berenstein universe
neutral · AI labelView post →A Hellraiser movie where Pinhead and the kinky horror gays are getting mad at you because you can't figure out how to open the puzzle box and they're getting madder and more frustrated because you should've figured it out by now.

Based on the original story by Clive Barker, the film was directed by Tony Randel and stars Doug Bradley, Ashley Laurence and Clare Higgins. Music by Christopher Young! #Horror

neutral · AI labelView post →I also reviewed Hellraiser: Revival! Genuinely a worthy part of the film canon now. Never less than good, but the game is by far at its best when it's confident enough to just be Hellraiser, and not Clive Barker's Resident Evil 8.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Longlegs and the new Hellraiser on an airplane. Both fun! Everyone in Hellraiser was too hot and nice for it to really feel like a Clive Barker joint and it was shot like TV. Odessa A’Zion is great. Longlegs was amazing until it got really literal but my god it was shot like a MOVIE movie
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie Hellraiser (1987) feels real because all the characters look and act like they're from a How To Speak English textbook, including what a sexy esoteric rapist would talk like if he was in a textbook, "come to daddy" etc; this is why it is good
positive · AI labelView post →Another horror movie thought. Watched Hellraiser 1 and 2 this week and I think we're long overdue for a horror movie that's entire premise is "here are some little freaks that look cool as hell"

neutral · AI labelView post →Marvel Comics writer Benjamin Percy wants the ‘GHOST RIDER’ film to embrace brutal, R-rated horror with a “Hellraiser-style” approach. “I would lean towards the R-rated horror version of the character and not do the standard cape and spandex, MCU type.” (via comicbook.com/movies/news/...)
neutral · AI labelView post →Hellraiser movies ranked from worst to best 11. Hellraiser Revelations (#9) Excruciating from beginning to end. More coherent than some others but you almost wish it wasn't. 10. Hellraiser Deader (#7) Literally a cheap vampire flick and not a Hellraiser movie. Pinhead might be in like one scene.

Year 2, Day #52 "Hellbound: Hellraiser II" (Tony Randel/1988) A great sequel and a fantastic addition to the Hellraiser lore. This is one I can easily recommend, though not all the Hellraiser sequels are created equal.
