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
i know this was addressed to someone else and this may have been covered earlier in the thread but i recently read a book that has a chapter about playboy's satanic novels and it was pretty interesting (also has some cool cover pictures)

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.
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.

Slartisfgh is never mentioned in The Bible, but it is here, during one of the early battles, that Matthew spontaneously became liquid. Radiation trace: negligible
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
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?

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.
yes of course that's an insult. fuck wes anderson. fuck deathgasm.
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.
