Default Hellraiser

After having a long discussion with young S-INC a few weeks back, and then a more or less identical conversation with my brother the next night, I finally purchased myself the four decent movies in this series..

Tonight I am watching the first film (now 21 years old!) and shall be trying to watch the sequels over the next few nights.

For those that don't know the series, the first is based on 'The Hellbound Heart' by Clive Barker, and the sequels are based on the characters he created. (incidentally, there is a remake of the first film planned for release next year. source).

The story of the film series follows the guardians of hell who are called forth by those who seek pleasure (and, of course, pain). They do this, in the story followed by the films, by solving a puzzlebox created in the 14th (iirc) century by a toymaker called Lemerchand (or Lament depending on which version of the film/book you're watching/reading), and then it's a harrowing ride as they discover what they have unleashed.

I highly recommend the first four films (although the fourth one is slightly sci-fi rather than pure horror) but will advise anyone who follows my advice to ensure they have a strong stomach as gore is present throughout (and there's shagging in this bit I'm watching now! 18 minutes into the first film!).

Doug Bradley?

And strangely attractive as Pinhead or Captain Elliot Spencer?

I remember my mum "catching" me watching the first film, just as the sex scene was on (I wasn't doing anything!!!) and said I wasn't allowed to watch any more
I must have been about 11 at the time.


I must buy these myself, or just download them... buy... download.... buy.... download...


AARGH! download, then buy when I have money it's not as if they'll come down in price any more, they're already cheap as chips!

I'm sure you'd remember watching a film with a dude who has NAILS sticking out of his head

Hellraiser 2: Hellbound just completed.

Better than I remember, and iirc then much of the location filing was done in Hertfordshire (One of the guys I went to Uni with lived near the house which was used for as the 'asylum').

Tomorrow night, Hellraiser 3: Hell on Earth
