all of the world wrote:there's a lot i prefer about the workprint version of hellraiser:bloodline but the angelique/pinhead scenes are the highlight and certainly help a lot of the final section make more sense. there's plenty to pick at in this movie (either version) but i've loved it from the start and believe it's the first four hellraisers that are good and it's after that the series goes way downhill.

i forget how many of the later sequels were scripts that had the hellraiser mythology inserted into them but i think there's two (hellseeker and inferno). hellworld and inferno are more enjoyable than deader and hellseeker and at the bottom of the list is revelations


I also prefer the Bloodline work print. I like the expanded mythos of the hell world in the second film, but the first film remains my favorite. aotw you recommend watching any of the films after 4?

no i would not. i have low/no standards for what horror/fantastic movies i will watch but i am fully aware how crappy most of them are. nothing after bloodline is worth your time unless you want to watch the franchise run into the ground

the first film is definitely the best of them for me too

Heck yeah. I've had that on pre-order since May, but thanks for looking out!
I like Grady Hendrix. His novels are fun, and he's been writing blogs on Tor.com about the same topic for some time now. On a couple of occasions he's given a glowing review to some rare piece of trash that I've then stumbled upon at a used book store, eliciting from me a howl of glee.

Anyone seen Devil's Candy? It just got added to Netflix.

As a fan of Ethan Embry, I'm digging the new ripped look.

Not sure if this is the right thread but has anybody seen The Untamed yet? It looks interesting and seems heavily influenced by Possession. Wondering if I should check it out while it's in theaters here this week.

i thought The Devil's Candy was good but i like the way it looks more than i like the movie itself. and shiri appleby was the weak link. think her acting might have gotten slightly worse since Roswell. "I love this wallPAPER"

watched it on Netflix along with House on Willow Street and that was garbage

but still better than Ditch Day Massacre

watched Pulse the other night and it ruled. realized i'm pretty deficient in J-Horror in general having only seen this and maybe Audition and Ringu years ago – any suggestions/primers on where to go from here?

The Devil's Candy was a lot of fun and becomes a goddamn classic when held up against Deathgasm (as far as explicitly "metal" horror films go)

I think Noroi is a fairly overlooked movie. Check it out if you haven't.

death gasm is the wes anderson of self referential horror.

goddamn i hated that movie. nick and norah's satanic playlist.

deathgasm is just every metal stereotype cranked to 11, it's so pandering and geared towards the lowest common denominator. and i'm not even a metal fan who feels the need to be protective of my pet musical genre. i can't even imagine enjoying it if i was still a 13-year-old boy, which was obviously that film's target demographic.

deathgasms was ok. not the best but i've seen worse.

hard to be fully against a movie that enthusiastically namechecks an autopsy album.
