DVD Empire - Item - Hellraiser 5: Inferno / DVD-Video If you are considering buying this movie because you love the hellraiser series, DON'T. I doubt pinhead even has seven minutes of screen time, this is a movie that has NOTHING to do with the true hellraiser series. This is NOT a Hellraiser film but instead a horror film that someone wrote Pinhead into. No, it isn't a true Hellraiser film in my eyes, but if you look over that then you'll find a pretty terrifying flick. www.dvdempire.com /Exec/v4_item.asp?item_id=17972&partner_id=29346865   (553 words)

Images - Hellraiser Regardless, Hellraiser was one of the few British-made horror films of the 1980s (though there were notable exceptions such as Neil Jordan’s splendid The Company of Wolves, based on a series of stories by Angela Carter). But whatever sins the Hellraiser franchise must atone for, Barker’s original film is still a dark, potent, daringly original exercise in the joys of perversity and pain. Hellraiser is filled with macabre imagery: one of the Cenobites pieces together fragments of a human face as if it were a jigsaw puzzle; Kirsty solves the puzzle box herself, conjuring up the Cenobites; the still skinless Frank smokes a cigarette in the attic of the house (juxtaposing the surreal and the mundane). www.imagesjournal.com /issue09/reviews/hellraiser/text.htm   (1231 words)

Hellraiser DVD In this, the sixth film of the "Hellraiser" series, the Lament Configuration (puzzle box) has been solved once again and Pinhead has returned to Earth with his legion of Cenobites to bring torture and death upon those who stand in his way. Marking Clive Barker's feature directing debut, Hellraiser I, graphically depicts the tale of a man and wife who move into an old house and discover a hideous creature - the man's half-brother, who is also the woman's former lover - hiding upstairs. Having lost his earthly body to a trio of S&M demons, the Cenobites, he is brought back into existence by a drop of blood on the floor. www.hellraiserdvd.com   (913 words)

HELLRAISER: PROPHECY - A fan film by Jonathan S. Kui As a fellow diehard fan of the HELLRAISER series, I've heard the screams of protest from many who have heard my ideas for the film, so I wanted to address the issues of continuity here and now... Clive Barker's 1987 film, HELLRAISER, and its sequel, HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II, introduced a new vision of Hell, where Hell is a dark Labyrinth of stone and order, presided over by a deity known as Leviathan.

From the Hellbound Heart The popular "Hellraiser" series came about after Barker fashioned a modern film classic based on his novella, "The Hellbound Heart." Shot on location in London in 1986, "Hellraiser" marked the directorial debut of Clive Barker and was met with critical and box-office success. Before the HELLRAISER series, collaborators Pete Atkins, Clive Barker and Doug Bradley formed a theatre company in their hometown of Liverpool called, "The Dog Company." "Hellraiser" was followed by the popular sequels "Hellbound: Hellraiser" and "Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth." extratv.warnerbros.com /cmp/presentations/96_05_31/barker.htm   (423 words)

The Hellbound Web Interact Essays "Demons to Some, Angels to Others: The Leviathanic Mythos of Clive Barker's 'Hellraiser', a Mythic Analysis" Unfortunately, after the disastrous Bloodline and now this film, the Hellraiser series is currently hurting worse than Kevin Costner's career (acting or directing-you choose)." (Dart) The film does have a few interesting moments with the Cenobites, including a particularly cool revamping of the Chatterer, but they play more like deleted scenes from Jacob's Ladder than anything that truly belongs in a Hellraiser film. Hellraiser: Bloodline, released in 1996, was directed by Joe Chappelle and Kevin Yagher (who was listed in the credits by the pseudonym of Alan Smithee) and written by Peter Atkins. www.cenobite.com /fan/essay/mythic.htm   (423 words)

JoBlo reviews the movie "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors" "Nightmare" 3 is not the best horror film ever made (The Shining is) and although this film is probably the second best in the series it fails to scare me. The first "nightmare" was excellent and firmly established the sub genre of fantasy/horror making way for other films such as the "Hellraiser" series. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 is the second best of the series and I especially liked the song at the beginning of the film. This is the sequel that started off the nightmare on elm street series to being one of the greatest horror series and was the first to make Freddy cool. www.joblo.com /nightmareonelmstreet3.htm   (1449 words)

DVD.net : Nightbreed - DVD Review Created after the second film in the Hellraiser series, for which there were initially no plans for a sequel, Nightbreed was developed as the opening chapter is a series of films, as is evident from the closing scenes. Although it's disappointing that we don't receive a PAL transfer, hope may lie on the horizon, as reliable rumours abound of a Director's Cut being released in the US that returns 20-some minutes to the film that was cut after initial test screenings had been made. Fairly light on the extras, we get filmographies for the principal cast, Barker, and Elfman, as well as the theatrical trailer presented in similar quality to the film, and also 16x9 enhanced. www.dvd.net.au/goto.cgi?http://www.dvd.net.au/review.cgi?review_id=917   (685 words)

Horror Films In many cases, sequels of popular titles were designed to cash in on an initial film's success: for example, all of these films cranked out sequels too numerous to mention: Halloween, Poltergeist, The Exorcist, It's Alive, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Howling, Hellraiser, Darkman, Chucky, and Scream. The success of Scream was set up by his direction of the sequel Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994), the 7th film in the series, with original star Heather Langenkamp, Craven himself, and Englund all playing themselves. Respectability was awarded to the horror film genre when director Jonathan Demme's shocking horror/thriller The Silence of the Lambs (1991), starring Anthony Hopkins as the murderous 'Hannibal the Cannibal' and Jodie Foster as a vulnerable FBI agent, walked away with five major Academy Awards - a clean sweep. www.filmsite.org /horrorfilms4.html   (2815 words)

The Hellbound Web Interact Essays "Demons to Some, Angels to Others: The Leviathanic Mythos of Clive Barker's 'Hellraiser', a Mythic Analysis" This mythos, although subject to minute variation throughout the film series, is rooted in the classic Greek myth of the tale of the Minotaur and the Maze. As a source for deriving a static mythos, however, the most recent film sheds no real light and violates all of the rules found in the Leviathanic Mythos, thus, while discussed in the second section of results, it will not be included in the analysis as a core mythic film. At the center of the Hellraiser mythos is its "God", a creature known as Leviathan. www.cenobite.com /fan/essay/mythic.htm   (15524 words)

The Film Asylum - Nightbreed film review So "Nightbreed" may have a more traditional (and rather thin) story and, although the human characters aren't exactly the nicest, this time the gore did not get in the way of my enjoyment here (not that gore bothers me these days, I just find that it still gets in the way in the "Hellraiser" series). Nightbreed is one of those films like "Big Trouble in Little China" or "Flesh + Blood" that received little fanfare on initial release, but happens to be a worthwhile film. Those films had so much gore and sadomasochistic themes that I found them hard to enjoy, especially when the characters were often so repugnant and cold. thefilmasylum.com /reviews/nightbreed/nightbreed.htm   (914 words)
