Are the Hellraiser sequels any good?
1-3 are watchable, after that not really.
>>223769578Nooooo, the 1st few are ok but after that you'll beemjoying the suffering yourself.
>>223769578The entire franchise is unironically dogshit for retards
2 is better than 1
>>223769785Not even close. 2 is why it all goes to shit
>>223769578I liked 5. Hellraiser 6-7 are bad. 8 has Henry Cavil and Lance Henrikson. Revelations is really bad. Judgement is okay.
>>223769785the doctor's acting is too over the top
>>223769578Nope.
>>223769785truthnuked.I liked the expanded story and bigger stakes, the cenobite backgrounds, leviathan, labyrinth, multiple boxes.it was more interesting than "hum ok let's make a movie about pinhead and everytime pinhead isn't onscreen we should be asking when pinhead appears" shit sequels they made after.
>>223769785they're all dogshit that pretend to be more than just a lame bondage low-grade pile of crud.phantasm is an even clearer example of absolute pointless shit being blown up as though it's beyond forgettable.i was fooled by hellraiser once over, but nothing happens in it, the fag zombies just walk around extremely slowly but do very little, and there's no actual plot or anything.2 is even worse, just "what kind of gimmick retardation can we jam in".critters has more of a plot and is more of a film.
>>223769578surprisingly no. the first 2 movies are good, i’d say the 2nd movie is the best but it’s a direct continuation of the 1st movie so you kinda have to watch both, the third movie killed any potential interest I had in the rest of the series, regardless I watched the fourth movie on a whim and that just confirmed the series was dead after the first two movies
Once when I was 14 years old, some girl from school invited me over to her house to watch Hellraiser 2 and it was too scary and I told her to stop the movie and she laughed at me then she told other kids at school I'm a pussy and we never hung out again after that.
>>223769578
>>223770178She was shit testing you anon. She wanted you to suggest a scarier movie to prove you were willing to be a man for her.
>>2237695781, 5, and 6 are the best. 2 has some iconic moments and it’s decent. 4 has some cool elements, but the action stuff is lame. 3 and the new one are terrible. The other one’s are pretty meh.
>>223769781HOLYY SHIT TPBP.I watched the first, which everyone says is the best, and it was so bad.Just some mild body horror, nothing scary or interesting.
>>2237695781 > Hellbound > Hell on Earth > Hellseeker > Inferno = Judgement = Reboot > Deader > Hellworld >>> Revelations
>>2237695781-3 are good, then it just makes the same mistake Friday the 13th made and sends pinhead to space. Clive Barker was so upset with how his creation was treated by Hollywood right around Bloodline that he walked away entirely only receiving a small “from the mind of Clive Barker” credit in that movie. Miramax took over and just ruined the franchise to turn Pinhead intro just another movie monster they could market the hell out of with a sequel every few months.It ultimately lead to Barker writing Scarlet Gospels which pretty much ruined Pinhead. He goes to hell on a quest for ultimate power and tries to steal Lucifer’s armor to become the new ruler. Pinhead puts on the armor awakening Lucifer who just kills him and then hell itself unhappy with his creation. Barker even admitted he made it bad on purpose because he was so angry at the direct to video sequels.
>>2237698305 is kino
>>223771452based but poor barker
>>223771468Because it was actually a good script that got repurposed into the Hellraiser movie. This franchise curse is that almost half of its movies are blacklisted scripts that got bought for the purpose of crudely inserting Cenobites into them.
Some are.
>>223771517>that got repurposed into the Hellraiser movieThat was debunked. It was a Hellraiser movie from day 1.
>>223771452>Barker writing Scarlet GospelsIsn't it ghostwritten?
>>223771468total kino, arguably the best in the series.
>>223771586I think those were just rumors because he’s had a lot of health problems. The publishing records and copyright both credit Barker.
1 = Great2 = Great3 = Good4 = Good5 = Decent to GoodRevelations = DumpsterfireJudgment = Decent2022 = Good
>>223769578> be pinhead> mfw taking a shit
Pinhead just wanted a fat chud in his lineup
yeah. but the remakes look god awful
>>223771757what's the lore behind him?
>>223769578They're good in a meta sense because watching them is true suffering.
They slid a silent hill movie in the middle of this series somehow. Also, the reboot was alright.
>>223769981Yeah I think this series gets greater acclaim than it deserves because people are reading into it themes that either don't exist or are treated very superficially.
>>223771812Never had sex so he was inducted into the ranks of the Cenobites for experiencing the greatest pain any man could ever endure
>>223771812Spoiler anon. i am playing it now. Like 70% through it.I didnt want to see butterball is gonna jack me off later on.
>>223771885but if it's spoilered, you have to click on it to see what it is.This way, you know what it is without seeing it.Great game, finished it yesterday, and I hope it inspires more movies.
>>223771812Apparently he was originally going to lead the gang, but the producers preferred Pinhead
>>223769578Just two and three.
>>223771757This dude is literally me
>>223769578Did any show the actual Hell world? I did like that part in one where the posh Hell guy is sat at a table with someone.
>>223772137>Did any show the actual Hell world?The final act of 2 takes place almost entirely inside the labyrinth
>>2237695781 and 2 are genuinely pretty great. 3 is schlocky, but worth it because its the Doug Bradley show, also the -list cenobites are so lame and shitty that it comes around and I kind of like them. I have a soft spot for hellraiser in space, but the rest of the sequels range from crappy to shitty. Still worth watching for spooktober if you haven't seen them before.
>>223771930Its pretty good. Has some weak issues in gameplay, its obviously copying other games, mainly RE. Inventory management is a pain, melee weapons constantly breaking. Limited crafting materials etc.I will finish it on my next session. I must be 75%-80% through it. Can tell from PSN. Said I was 71% last time I looked.Marlowe is next. I just killed bruno again.
>>223769785>>223769914It is not. Barker has stated only the books, the first film and the game Hellraiser: Revival are canon now. I like Hellbound but it's weak sauce compared to the first. None of the sequels are worth watching ultimately.
>>223772482>its obviously copying other games, mainly REI was kind of surprised they didn't credit Scorn with some things they used. A small number of devs from Serbia made that game and they essentially built templates for some of the better puzzles in Revival.
>>223772606I have not played scorn. I know it does have some things from condemned.I am not really a horror game/movie fan. I do play RE as I have a soft spot for it but in this case I only played it because its a hellraiser game, which we have never had before.i sighed relief when i seen it announced and it wasnt a crappy asymmetrical multiplayer.desu it has over stayed its welcome a bit for me now.i have played it over a few sessions and still not done.i prefer a game like this to be like RE where it can be completed in 2-3 sessions but has replayability.This doesn't look like it has any replayability and is more of a 15+ hour game rather than a 9-12 hour game like RE (first playthrough)I will play it again in the future but unlike most RE games where I play them back to back, i have no intention to play this again soon after completing it.
>>223772705Play Undying and Jericho, anon.
>>223772718No. i know of the games. Like I just said I am not a horror game/movie fan.Only horror games I have intention of playing at some point is silent hill 2 remake because I only ever played the OG SH and SH2 for like 5 mins before i quit and apparently SH2 is the best one. If they remake OG SH I will play that too.Might play scorn in the future.Technically system shock is a horror but its not scary. i left it on the 2nd or 3rd level so will carry on when i play it again.Horror is not really my thing. Like I said I just have a soft spot for RE as I grew up playing them.
>>223772606Scorn is the most nauseating, vile game I've ever played and I hated every minute of it. 9/10 for visuals though.
>>223772764NTA. Jericho isn't really horror.Cool settings and the different powers of the squad members keep things kinda fresh.I remember it being on the longer side though.
>>223769578idk i never watched them but i did watch the 2022 remake and thought that was okay. i kinda want to watch the one in space though
>>223769785i agree with this
why he got so many pins in he head
guess ill watch them. theyre on amazon
Is being tortured a gift to this guy? Like, it's a blessing to be able to feel?
>>2237695782-4 yes, the rest no.
>>223772482Yeah it definitely relies on the cinematic style storytelling to carry it.If it wasn't a Hellraiser game, I wouldn't like it, but the atmosphere is great.Feels like a mix of all the good movies from the series.
>>223771947>Apparently he was originally going to lead the gang, but the producers preferred PinheadPart of the issue was Simon Bamford (Butterball's actor) and Chatterer's actor couldn't talk or emote with all the makeup on, he could barely hear or see anything, either, so all the lines went to Pinhead and the female Cenobite out of necessity. He also was in Barker's Nightbreed and was relieved he didn't wear nearly as much makeup in it.
>>223773321At least watch 1 and 2
>>223773891>If it wasn't a Hellraiser game, I wouldn't like itSame. Its the hellraiser vibe and IP that has me playing it.
i liked inferno
>>2237696274 has its moments.5 was where it turned really shit for me.
that new bloated pinhead looked so awful
>>223774029I'm over half way through the first. Ever since they moved into this house Julia been creaming over a fling. That's crazy. How did Larry even get back to life? Is this some loophole?
Thoughts on the 2022 Pinhead played by the tranny?
>>223774371There were some interesting cenobite designs in that, but overall, can't hold a candle to the OG
>>223774277
The reboot is really good
>>223769578Inferno and Judgement are ok but also pretty shit still
>>223774371Best Hellraiser since the 1st. The fact that pinhead is played by a tranny is of no consequence imo.
>>223774414kek
>>223774371Cool design but feels like he has 0 presence in the film by himself while also trying to constantly do callbacks to Doug Bradley's Pinhead, basically goes for most the Cenobites in that movie, really.
