Is Hellraiser 2: Hellbound horror kino?
>Awesome body horror
>Great aesthetics of a labyrinthine hell/leviathan
>Deep lore (not just some shitty supernatural killer)
>Cute puzzle solving girl
Does anything even compete? Are there any other horror movies with similar depictions of hell or a horrible other worldly realm?
Occult (2009) has the best depiction of Hell.
Hellraiser & Hellraiser II are good horror films. Hellraiser III is goofy fun, as is Hellraiser IV to a lesser extent but only really saved by Doug Bradley's performance.
Hellraiser V is a step in a different direction but still a solid movie, everything after this is a joke though tbqhfam

I dunno, I watched it a while ago and fell asleep half an hour in
>>81265250
worth watching but far from kino.
its been a long time since i watched it, but it has alot of flaws.
the 2 most annoying things i remmeber was the girl who doesnt speak through most of it, and the 10 minute footage of them running down the same corridor over and over again.
yes that shot is pretty cool, and it has some grea gory scenes. but the plot doesnt make much sense. i did like the scene where u see all the cenobites in their original forms tho. tht was cool.
>>81265250
IT IS NOT HANDS THAT CALL US
>>81265250
Yes. 1 and 2 are really good.
5 is a guilty pleasure for me.
>>81265250
Best scene in all horror coming through

>And to think... I hesitated.
I don't understand why he was so powerful compared to the other cenobites. Dude wrecked them all without so much as a fight.
>>81265250
>Great aesthetics of a labyrinthine hell/leviathan
Yeah it's kino for these parts.
>>81265344
Spoonfeed or keep your opinions to yourself.

>weebshit
no thanks
>>81265344
Ending would have been better with less ridiculously bad effects.IT'S HEEEEEEELL *technicolour hellscape*
>>81266775
He had Leviathan's penis connected to his head.
>>81265879
5 is a competently made film
Huh? Nightbreed?
>>81266775
Maybe being a horrible cunt in life makes you a beast in hell. The other cenos were fairly normal dudes, right?
>>81265344
This. I've been to Hell numerous times and this movie has the closest depiction of Hell to date.
Gonna vacation to Hell next week so I can really appreciate it.
>>81266775
he was directly connected to leviathan the ruler of the hell dimension
the others rebelled, so their power was cut off
>81267144
I haven't seen past two, but from the original two you don't see much backstory on the other cenobites. You just see them in their human forms and see pinhead opening the box in the beginning of the second film. But that's a theory.
>>81267144
chatterer was a 10 year old boy
the female was a former nun
the fat one a bartender
pinhead a ww1 captain
dunno if the background info is canon, but the little background info's that the figures/statues/toys had did give interesting info
>>81265954
I think my favourite kind of special effect is the slime 80's and 90's monsters were always coated in.
>>81267478
The Blob (1988) had great special effects.

>pinhead a ww1 captain
Confirmed in Hellraiser 3.
>>81267565
That would be insanely awesome if done properly. What would you do CGI, animation or practical effects?
I like stuff with non conventional representations of hell

This is the film and hell sequence that he's talking about:
https://youtu.be/I6qri3HnUQQ?t=6360
Yep.
And the moral of that story is that you should never, ever trust a weeb's opinion on anything ever.
>>81267912
spooky
>>81267796
Heavy use of practical effects with CGI akin to Hellboy 2.
>>81265344
Good answer
Hellraiser 1 and 2 are all time classics. They're 2 of my top 3 horror movies of all time, the other beingSaw.

Soliloquy of Good Doctor sell this movie straight from the first minutes
The mind is a labyrinth, ladies and gentlemen, a puzzle. And while the paths of the brain are plainly visible, its ways deceptively apparent, its destinations are unknown. Its secrets still secret. And, if we are honest, it is the lure of the labyrinth that draws us to our chosen field to unlock those secrets. Others have been here before us and have left us signs, but we, as explorers of the mind, must devote our lives and energies to going further to tread the unknown corridors in order to find ultimately, the final solution. We have to see, we have to know...
>>81267912
The whole film is great, but that fucking ending, man.

Wait, did Barlowe work on Hellboy 2? I never realized before how much that looks like his style.
>>81269129
Yep, and a lot of other stuff you might not have expected either

>>81267567
It was confirmed in 2. The doc had a file on him. It shows an old headshot of Pinhead's human form wearing a german WWI outfit. That's how she reminds them of their humanity.
>>81267478
Yeah there was a moisture to their flesh that reflected the light flawlessly, unlike CGI monsters.
>>81271028
Jesus wept.
Hell raiser 2 is the most insane, nightmarish film ever in the sense that it's almost entirely nonsensical. Which isn't a criticism. It's the only movie I've ever seen that exists solely as a literal nightmare.
>>81267086
Talk about a weird unnerving film. I still don't know if it was good or not. Creature designs were dope though.
>>81271953
>nightmarish film ever in the sense that it's almost entirely nonsensical.
People say this but what exactly is confusing about it? The story is very straight forward. The only part I can see people being confused by is the deal with the tentacle that attaches itself to Channard and why he get's decapitated at the end. They never once state that the tentacle is Leviathan, I wonder if the script has omitted scenes which explain these parts.
>>81265250
It was the best vision of Hell that I seen in any movie.

Honestly as an adult male I can't watch it, it makes me feel uncomfortable, that and the last part of Necronomicon. I saw it as a kid and it was just too much, it's not the gore it's exactly as you said- almost like a fever dream.
WE HAVE SUCH SIGHTS TO SHOW YOU
>tfw Hellraiser 3 sucked dick
Is the rest even worth watching?
>>81272455
Bloodline was terrible but almost worth a watch for more Doug Bradley.
>Earth,a garden of Eden... a garden of flesh.
>>81272074
There are deleted scenes from H2 -- like the famous surgery scene that's depicted on the VHS box but not shown in the movie -- but I don't recall if they explain more about Leviathan.
>>81272167
is he ok?
>>81272725
Just havin' a laugh, mate.
>>81272455
Hellraiser 5 is good. It's a story where the cenobites are just a sub-plot like the first movie.
>>81272957

You need to die kys my good friend

He'll be fine.
>>81265479
Everything before the first Hellraiser is kino. Don't want anything else.
Rewatching these right now funnily enough. Halfway through the second film.
I feel the same as >>81272200, I can watch #2, but everything about it makes me feel uncomfortable.
Fat KINO

I can manage the movies
but the few novellas I have read from Clive Barker? jeeeesus, this guys is crazy.
>>81272701
There's a scene where chatterer cases them into a lift but it looks awful
>>81273459
This guy is supposed to be the strongest Cenobite. In Scarlet Gospels, Pinhead kills him.
>>81273208
>skipping hellraiser in space
Why do you hate fun?
>>81273662
You mean 5 minutes of Hellraiser in space while the other 95 minutes of the movie takes place in present time? Moron.
>>81273707
You know exactly what I mean, asshole.
>tfw reading the original plot of Bloodline
It could have been KINO
>>81274376
True. Very ambitious movie that good shredded by the studio.
Whats /tv/ opinion of the first one? its like the one big horror icon movie i never watched. the box covers used to scare me when i was a kid, but i just never got interested enough to make time to watch it. like i wonder how on par it is compared to nightmare on elm st, halloween, and f13
>>81274437
The book is better.

Only read Weaveworld by him. I was kind of expecting something like Hellraiser, but it had almost no horror elements, or at least nothing as unnerving as his films. Still a good book though.

Can you solve the puzzle box, /tv/?
>>81274437
The first two are really good. Legitimately creepy.
>>81274437
1 and 2 are amazing. Anything after that just starts to go south real fast.
>>81267086
Shit movie. Craig Shitter has to be one if the worst actors ever. I honestly don't understand how he got roles.
>>81274437
I absolutely adore the first one because of THIS DAMN BED IS SO HEAAAAUGH MY HAAAAAND
>>81274866
This. There is nothing out there in horror quite like them. They held nothing back, did not hold your hand, were unapologetic, and they were sincere. They came out in a time of campy slasher flicks and delivered these twisted, grand guignol pieces infused with the unique imagination of Clive Barker.
Even Stephen King said Clive Barker was the new master of horror at the time.
1 was much better. 2 was a bit of disappointment. I enjoyed 3 more, but the cenobites were lousy, and goofy.
>>81265344
lol the squids?
>>81275733
>I enjoyed 3 more
Whew.
Is it true that at the end of the Scarlet Gospels it JUST becomes full blown DBZ?
if you didn't enjoy Hellraiser 1 and 2 you are pleb and don't belong on /tv/
Also Inferno and Hellseeker were good. Hellraiser films are best watched on hallucinogenic drugs
>>81276000
Scarlet Gospels is shit all the way through.
>using Hell
THEY'RE MEANT TO BE SENSE FREAK DIMENSIONAL BEINGS YOU HACK!
That's literally what they were in the original story.
>>81276210
Scarlet Gospels was only worth reading because of Harry. Clive should have included Damoure in more of his fiction, the last illusion, everville and scarlet gospel is all we got. Also I liked Scott Bakula as Demoure in Lord of Illusions. That was a hell of a movie.
