Very cool. I'll do my best to watch any I haven't seen.

I've seen Hellraiser many times. It's one of my favorites. Here's my (oddly book-focused) Letterboxd review:

quote:

Having now read The Hellbound Heart, I have a new-found appreciation for Hellraiser. The book works as a perfect companion to the film, and certain elements of the film that are left under-explained are now more fleshed out. The character of Frank, for example, is now more fully formed in my mind. His motivations for opening the box and his sway over Julia is left a bit ambiguous in the movie, but the book makes it all click.

I never think that a person should be required to read the book in order to enjoy the movie, but in this case the creative genius of Clive Barker that's shown in the film becomes more apparent after reading the book. So I highly recommend the read. His imagination is unlike any other horror writer/director. I'd argue his creation is the most unique and creative horror movie concept out there, even beating Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street.

4.5/5

Never do this, even as a joke.

Part 4 is decent. Better than part 3 imho.

Maniac (2012) is every bit as good as the original. A rare feat.

You know how I said TCM is my favorite horror? I lied, it's Braindead. It absolutely blew my mind when I was 16 and I've loved it ever since.
