Hellraiser is talked about on this board on a regular basis, OP. We would be happy to talk about it some more.

The general consensus about the Hellraiser flicks is that the first two are worth watching, while it's safe to skip the others. The second flick is worth the price of admission because in addition to a beautiful dark twisted fantasy hellscape, about ten minutes in, it contains one of the most arresting stills in the history of horror film, period.

That said, there's plenty in the second movie which is silly, and low-budget. But this was true of the original as well of course.

Which one are you referring to?

Watch the movie with my timing in mind and find out! :^)

HINT: Hellraiser 2 contains a very specific trope which is repeated in The Exorcist, and Se7en. Not many people have picked up on this.

I saw the first two and stopped there. The cenobites are fucking awesome, but they have way too little screen time and the movies are overall too disgusting for my taste.

none, they are all worse than the original. if the cenobyte universe is interesting to you, just read a wiki and dont bother with the garbage narratives of the sequels

op here, been on /tv/ since since 2010... hardly seen it discussed newfag

First two are good and feel like they are one movie. The rest are pretty bad.

The first two acts of Hellraiser 2 are good, but it kinda goes to shit in the 3rd. Don't bother with the rest.

And I'm the person you've replied to, I have been on /tv/ for longer than you have, and hellraiser is regularly discussed on this board, at a current pace of, say, once every week or two. You haven't been paying attention.

don't listen to this guy. 2 is fine, 3 goes completely off the rails with guys like "CD head" and "piston head"

the rest, your milage may vary depending on how much tolerance you have for blatant flanderization and general crappiness

>>79199066
Why are you talking like you worked on the film

I like how it's ambiguous if Hellraiser is set in England or America (filmed and intended to be set in England, studio/producers changed it to US during production)

>>79199318
Yeah, once console of rome gets turned into a cenobite it gets real stupid.

i'd say check out nightbreed and lord of illusions if nothing else

Anyone else like Barker's other movies? I loved night breed, that scene where the schizo rips his own face off was brilliant. Also I just love his costume and set designs.
Books of blood tv show when?
