>if you open up this puzzle box a bunch of chains will show up and rip your skin off and some bald dude will take you to a torture dimension
Yeah I’d probably just not open it. Seems like a real easy way to avoid being killed
>if you open up this puzzle box a bunch of chains will show up and rip your skin off and some bald dude will take you to a torture dimension
Would be a short movie
>dude
Excuse me, that's a she now.
Damn
Nobody tells that to the people who seek it out. They're just told that it will bring them pleasure.
it doesn't matter if they are coomers anymore, the shitty sequels made it so anyone opening the box is instantly marked as fair game to the Cenobites, who became mere slashers.
>It's some BDSM sadomasochism shit where you learn to correlate pain with pleasure
Sounds cool. I'm in
Imagine having a headache and getting a boner
I'd pay hobos to open it
It's not the hands that open it, it's the intent
Honestly that one wasn't too bad, much better than most of the shitty sequels
>It's not the hands that open it, it's the intent
That only applies to Hellraiser 2 and only to that one scene.
In the original book that's not the case.
It is not hands that call us, but.....DESIRE.
All the person knows is that it's the next level of human experience after they've grown numb to all other earthly experiences
In the novel you also got to experience every orgasm you ever had at once.
sounds pretty chill
So how the frick did he get out? Twice
I don't know if the novel elaborates on it but the 1st movie is so vague and the second movie doesn't even try.
Somehow Frank's heart was still underneath the floor and getting some blood on the floorboard transported him from the Labyrinth back to the mortal plane, but even the Cenobites aren't familiar with this being a way of escaping.
Then in the second movie he somehow astral projects himself to Earth for a few seconds, no explanation ever given.
In the first movie and sequel its his cum under the floor that gets in contact with his brothers blood.
Basically he left a residue on earth so he could come back, I don't see why more explanation is needed. In the movie you can see all the white goo (semen).
Then in the second he doesn't really escape. It's just a projection though Kristie dreaming while having the box right next to her. In the 3 you can see how dreams are portals of other dimensions.
>its his cum under the floor that gets in contact with his brothers blood
Gay
>the first movie and sequel
I meant first movie and novel
I went all these years never even thinking that the first stage of Frank was a corpse made of cum. Jesus fricking Christ Clive.
Who’d have thought that queers were a bunch of degenerates?
>no explanation ever given
If you can't figure it out then you must be some extreme moron. I'm guessing you're american? Figures.
As far as I can figure, it was just something to set up the plot and wasn't meant to be thought about beyond that
Exactly, you're a complete fricking moron. Never reply to me again spastic c**t, I won't be reading it.
When did life become unlivable for you? Was it an event, a series thereof, a period of time?
Oooh. Pretty box. I wonder what’s inside?
>tik tik tik tik
>music box melody
>""puzzle""
>the solution is a big giant unmissable button in the middle of one side
bravo lovecraft
yeah, you even LOOK at the box funny and it instantly opens, and the Cenobites be like "A-HA, you always wanted to be butchered into itty bitty pieces, didn't you aaaaaah!!"
Your IQ is only slightly above average, and that is why every idea you consider is first and foremost put through the prism of "how does this benefit me" which then compels you to adopt the consensus opinion. Independent, free curiousity is a privilege and compulsion of the intellectually endowed, not of the moderately skilled servant.
anyone else get the dvd configuration boxset when they were 16?
Would I endure extreme torture if it meant I could also experience the extreme bliss of some sweet dicky? Yes, I think I could
The thing about it is in order to even come across it you'd have to seek it out, and to open it you would willingly want to do the depraved shit needed to open it, thus already being in the mindset that you want to do it. The new movie fricked all that up and was worse off for it.
Not really. In the first and second films it was made clear they would come, regardless of who opened it. Pinhead was simply a bit picky sometimes if he felt in doubt. He was always toying with Kirstie but clean walked away from Tiffany.
I've never seen Hellraiser but I know that pinhead guy is iconic. Is it worth watching now as an adult or is it one of those "you had to see it during the times" kind of films?
Definitely holds up, the first 2 are very good. Don't think it's all about Pinhead though, it's a love story with some demon shit on the outer shell of it.
Thanks guys. That's a resounding endorsement so I guess I'm watching that with dinner tonight.
The first one's pretty good and I rewatch it sometimes. I thought the second and third were a letdown, and haven't watched any others except the science fiction one, which is stupid but fun schlock.
First is a classic, second is pretty good, third is dumb but entertaining. You can stop after that unless you just really like the series because they get much worse from there.
>they get much worse from there
Bloodline and Inferno are significantly better than 3.
I couldn't even stay awake trying to watch Bloodline. I'll give it another shot one of these days.
I fell asleep several times during Bloodline myself. It’s not better than 3. They’re in outer space, because reasons, and sit around talking while most of the film is in flashback format. Rewatch it if you wish (or are having trouble sleeping).
watch the first two in order and if you like those then keep going, just know that after Inferno you will get very diminishing quality sequels very quickly.
You can watch the first film and it is a very solid stand alone. Most people enjoy it very much, even today. I find the sequel mostly unnecessary and the absence of Larry poorly explained, but IRL unavoidable as Andrew Robinson turned down the role because he was offered less money. It’s still a good film, if you watched (and liked) the first. The third film starts writing new rules and becomes a bit of a joke. Everything is downhill from there. I like Inferno (5) but I’m in the minority on that one. Judgement (10) is good, but I think overrated, as everything was so uniquely awful leading up to it. (I do like it, just not as much as 1 or 2.) The latest one I kept falling asleep. Very dark and hard to see things, slow pacing, just could never finish it.
I watched it for the first time recently, there is basically no exposition, stuff just happens and you are expected to go with it. The daughter was cute though
