To be fair the movie does explain why: Pinheads humanity had been stripped out during his fight with Channard, so now his actions were 100% demon. Hence why at the end of the movie his human half had to combine with his demonic half to return him to his original state.

Love the dig at American health care

Part 4 Bloodline is ok, but suffered from a massive amount of studio interference, huge amount of cuts/edits and a reordered story. The result is still worth a watch, but it potentially could've been much better.

4 bloodline continues the explanation of the ending and gives some history on the box itself. 3 was typical 90's transition that a lot of 80's movie sequels and music bands had a hard time transcending.

Clive Barker had two good ideas after HR2-tying up Pinhead’s origin, and a decadent nightclub being a Hell gateway-but then the money ran out, the studio went under, the title was sold, and Hellraiser sequels started becoming insane low-rent title-grab Howling sequels…. 🤨😣

Not only that, but Uncle Frank is British. They dubbed an American's voice in; you'll notice they never state clearly what city the first two movies take place in but all the main characters have American accents and all the extras have British accents.

This movie suffered from the studio wanting it to be one thing while the filmmakers themselves wanted it to be more like the first two. Guess who won most of those battles?

I've seen the first four, and yes, 4 is better than three. I've watched it a couple of times and enjoyed it, but it does have its flaws: it obviously didn't have much of a budget, the space part is a bit silly, and the last act was rewritten at the instigation of the producers, which sadly means the new central demon character basically becomes an extra after Pinhead reappears.

I love that you guys are doing hellraiser, and you're three movies in. theyre bad but you fellas watching them is great! keep it up! im also watching through these in order.

Hey guys. Never been one for the Hellraiser series, but love your reaction. I just rewatched a movie that I've not watched in years and would love you guys to react to it, The Crow, starring the late, great Brandon Lee. Thanks for the great content guys, keep it up 👍😎💖

The best I can say about this one is that it was better than 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8. I never saw 9 or 10. Four was...an Alan Smithee film. Had it's moments, but I really think Hellraiser II is the best. Partly because it rehashes a lot from the first one and then fills their new stuff into what time is left, rather than stretching the new stuff too thin. if that makes any sense. But the thing I like about horror is that even if a film is bad, it can still be enjoyed. At least as something to make fun of. It is only if it gets too convoluted to follow or too slow and boring to make it through that I really consider one "bad" in the traditional sense.

Missed y’all!

I saw this when I was young and being killed by CD's has always terrified me.

That British guy as the bartender is the writer of the film as well as HR 2 and 4 so just a fun cameo for him!

That not affording hospitals hit too hard yall xD . We really can't.

I would LOVE to have a spinning hellraiser totem, that thing looks fire af

When I saw this film when it came out I actually fell asleep at the theater, lol

Yeah this is a rough one. Some cool scenes but such a step down in characters and mood, which is a big part of why the first 2 films work on top of the effects. The horror of these films always felt contained and even intimate and the club massacre scene completely goes against that feeling for a pointless "here's a bunch of blood and deaths" moment. I would say 4 is worth watching both because it's leaps ahead of this one and returns to some of the more character-centric elements of the first 2. But anything after 4 is a waste of time as the company essentially would just take bad and unused horror scripts and slap Pinhead into them at the end and call them Hellraiser films to keep the IP.

“What’s her name?” This had me cackling!

A Thriller/comedy recommendation: The Voices With Ryan Reynolds, Anna Kendrick, ... Your guys are going to love this one!!!

You guys need to watch the Good Son!! That's a classic thriller that most people have forgotten about!

"Who does that?" Patrick Bateman

The best part of this movie was the Motörhead song at the end, the music video kicked ass too with Lemmy beating Pinhead in a poker game.

May not be a popular opinion but I like the next movie, Hellraiser Bloodline. It retcons a couple of things, but I do love seeing the origin of the box and the multiple generations of the same familly linked to it and how it's wrapped up at the end (admittedly in a silly way, IN SPAAAAAAAAAACE!).

I enjoyed some of the low budget sequels but they were obviously written as movies not connected to the Hellraiser franchise then rewritten in part to include Cenobites and become so. You should look up the Hellraiser 3 section of the Leviathan documentary, it's really fun even if you have a 'what went wrong?' type of perspective. One of my favourite stories is how the studio paid Clive Barker a load of cash to not be involved and not have his name on the film at all, then later deciding that was a big mistake and paying him a 2nd time to use his name all over, so he was minted twice for doing sod all and it really shows a bit of how the studio bumblefucked about with so many things with this film.

😂😂 great reaction, from memory it's all downhill now.

1st and 2nd are best, some good practical effects. I like the guy with the jackhammer through his head.

I love your reaction to this, I had the same reaction when I watched this at the cinema, there is one sequel where Ashley Lawrence returns that isn’t bad and an awful one featuring a very young Henry Cavill, if you want to see a decent 80’s horror sequel watch the 1988 movie ‘The Fly 2’ featuring Eric Stolz, a good engaging story and some brilliant gory effects in the last half.

They only get worse as the movies go on lol. Hellraiser Judgement was pretty good though imo. The latest one doesn't have Doug as Pinhead, but it was def the best since 1 & 2 in my honest opinion

Slither was James gunns 1st movie as a Director, he got his start with Troma, he co-wrote Tromeo & Juliet, ( Narrated by Lemmy Kilmister from Motorhead), he went on to write the screenplays for the 1st two live action Scooby Doo movies & Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead Remake

I lovee the first two Hellraiser movies, then they pretty much just go downhill. I do love the pillar of souls prop from this one though.

Tony Hickox, director of this, made a bunch of top-notch, silly, practical-effex, dumpster fire horror films. (Bruce Campbell's in a couple of them). They're *all* great fun for anyone with joy in their heart!

Y'all complained that the movie is a joke. It's _supposed_ to be a joke. Hickox made parody movies in the style of Sam Raimi ie The Evil Dead, which makes sense as they went to movie school together.

Is something wrong with the camera or is the saturation/contrast super low on purpose? It's getting really difficult to see you.

When this opened in 92 a friend and I took our dates to see this. The girls did not enjoy the movie🤣. Well, actually we dudes were pretty disappointed too.

I felt the same when I saw this the first time.

Shaun, 'I think I could edit this film and make it better!' Agreed, but you'd probably only have enough footage left for a good trailer 😁😂

I'm so glad you lads rated this film as you did. It gets far too much leeway just because it's got Pinhead saying some cool lines. Everything you said about the writing, directing and acting is pretty much what I think. Turning Pinhead into a quippy, one liner spewing slasher villain is the complete antithesis of what made him compelling in the first two films. Doing 4 may put you off the series overall, as it's wildly inconsistent in its quality. But I'd implore you to watch 5, as while it certainly isn't a great film, it does some interesting stuff that's consistent with the lore put forward in the first two.

15:53 ... Huh, that's the same sound effect used in the intro cutscene for Artorias in Dark Souls! Never new it was from this film / (more likely) a stock sound effect

As soon as Clive Barker ceased to be involved, every subsequent film after II got worse and worse. Now, Clive is back and involved in the new series with Jamie Clayton as Pinhead in a more faithful retelling of The Hellbound Heart.

Everybody always says in the comments that the 4th one was the last to be released in theatres, but thats not true. I saw Inferno IN a movie theatre.

Heres the thing about this movie at the end of Hellraiser 2. Pinhead was turned human and lost his soul. The part that was human was what made him obedient to Hell rules. So in this one Pinhead was just the part that liked an enjoyed torturing and killing people. So he basically went rogue and didn't care about hells rules. So he was trying to make its own kingdom or version of hell with no rules. Because when combined with his human half or soul he is forced to follow the rules of hell.

Could it of been done better yes but it doesn't mean it's a stupid story. Because it's a proper conclusion of Hellraiser 2. Heres one movie franchise that is full of stupid stories. That's using your terminology by calling them stupid. I have Friday the 13th 40th anniversary limited edition on Blu-ray or DVD. But I am going to only use facts to state why every movie past the first one is bad and makes no sense and therefore has a bad story. In the audio commentary for that movie an other bonus features. Lets start with the fact there's no continuity past the first movie. The first movie made it perfectly clear Jason Voorhees died in Crystal Lake as a child in 1957. Dead as in permanently not alive in any way shape or form. Then the end when he popped up out of the water was all in her head it was it a dream or a nightmare facts. Because the director and Tom Savini stated that on the movie extra bonus features. When the movie studio went to the director we want Jason to be the killer in part 2. He says something like that is stupid and makes no sense. Because you know he was written as a dead character from the start to serve as. Mrs Voorhees motivation to go insane an kill people only right he was never alive to begin with. He was never in this movie to begin with the end was One Last jump-scare Only. So how am I supposed to bring back someone that was never alive to begin with. Then when they ask Tom Savini to work on it he said thats stupid. Because Jason was never in the first movie in first place he was a dead character from the start. He was never in the first movie he was never in the lake to begin with the was one last jump-scare only. So why would he be in the 2nd one. So they refuse to work on Friday the 13th part 2 because the movie studio was making a non-existent. Character be alive and the killer in it that being Jason Voorhees. Thats bad or as you would say stupid storytelling. Because the movie studio ignored the facts of the first movie. They took a Dead character from the very beginning of the first movie. That Bing Jason Voorhees and made him somehow alive even though. Everyone that worked on the first movie said that he was a dead character from the start and was never. Alive to begin with he was written as motivation only for his mother to go insane and kill people only. Then made him the main character like he never died that is bad or as you would say stupid storytelling at its finest. Now part 2 and everyone afterwards I would say bad story writing and storytelling. You say stupid story writing and storytelling. Part 2 an afterwards Community there is none then the simple and honest fact. That its the same movie over and over again you see people go to Crystal Lake. You see them get killed by a killer that doesn't exist by the facts of the first movie. Over an over again part 2 and everything else is the same movie but with different victims. Thats what I call or say is bad story plot for telling. You would call it stupid storytelling or story plot. I am just using facts not my feelings in any way shape or form. With the expect place I got my information from that being the 40th anniversary limited edition of the movie Friday The 13th. Form the audio commentary and other bonus features on it.

The first two were still the best.

Hellraiser 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are good fun. 5 and 10 need to be avoided at all costs.
