Pinhead flying through the air as the space station blows up is in my top 5 most unintentionally hilarious moments in film.
?si=2PWjlEaKDfNqlu3C&t=115s
it's amazing considering it had 3 directors and 4 cinematographers thanks to weinstein frickery
First movie pretty good, the rest suck balls
Frick Clive Barker. Overrated hack.
great concept, terrible execution although the last hellraiser was great even though it greatly deviated from the core concept and made them more demonic which I understand but still don't like
it will never confuse me that the original writer changed so much for his own adaptation. in the novella they were hedonistic degenerates who experimented until they cracked open another dimension and formed the "order of the gash". kind of beats a hellpriest and his demon henchmen punishing mean people for their sins.
The original novela was basically a rough draft Barker used to pitch the movie to the studio.
>great concept, terrible execution
Second. The idea of going so far into exploring bodily sensation that you open a dimension where things will give you pains and pleasures (mostly pains) beyond imagining has great launching for monsters and morals.
First movie is a slower burn than maybe it should be, but hits best on the fall into depravity.
Second DEFINITELY takes too long to get to hell, but has the best showing after that. It would have been nice if the series had kept pinhead dead and focused more on the people part, but you can't fault the actor - he is always fun and knows his role.
Third shows the absence of understanding creativity within boundaries, and fails at creating something more than "camera cenobite" and "DJ cenobite" and "arctic camo cenobite" for a toyline.
The rest until the remake you kinda hope everyone on board knew they were made just to keep the licensing.
The remake has good cenobites and people, but I'm not a fan of making the box some multiple choice thing rather than a super serious "Are you sure?" click.
It's honestly really bad
straight sex directed by a hardgay dude.
honestly the first film is really bad, the second one suprisingly better and the rest such heaps of trash
Good to some, bad to others
first movie is merely okay. 2nd okay sequel. becomes irredeemable dogshit after that. Deader is one of the worst movies ever made.
First and second movies are great. Novela is bretty good. Everything else sucks big time.
1 - 3 are KINO. So is the reboot
3 is shit and makes Pinhead look so stupid
My honest opinion is that it needed more heterosexual erotic stuff
It's an interesting concept, but it needed to be shifted to the male gaze instead of the gay gaze
It's just so lacking into the human female destruction and female demon depiction, that I can't get into it
It's like watching a slasher but the only victim girl dies offscreen at the first 10 minutes and it's just a couple guys running away shirtless from the monster for 2 hours
It was written by a gay dude, and it is very gay

The story revolves around a woman helping a man regain his physical form so she can frick him like she used to
It's gay play Jericho instead.
"I have seen the future of horror, and he is over there making out with another guy"
-Steven King on Clive Barker (Clive on a guy named Timothy)
I loved 80s/90s slashers, but Ive never watched any of these.
Kinda related, Im reading Imajica, so far its pretty good.
Hellraiser's not a slasher movie in the first place, it's more of a gothic romance horror. As iconic as Pinhead is, he and the cenobites make up about 5% of the movie
5, 6 and 7 are pleb filters. All the others are really bad including the original.
Loved 1 and 2, haven't seen 3 yet. Planning to watch up to 5 at least.
I think it's a classic horror picture.
