This Classic Horror Movie Sequel Was Bonkers

This video is currently claimed by Miramax, so despite my clever ad breaks, I am not making money on this one yet. Hopefully the claim gets lifted in the next three weeks. Until then, enjoy my salt.

Hellraiser 2 is awesome

this was a script that they added some hellraiser stuff. thats why its super disjointed

I'm ace and I could defeat Pinhead with snark alone.

Watching this it feels like this would have made a great graphic novel. Something about it also feels like the Max Payne narrative. The comic book aesthetic would definitely help to soften the clichés, even to appeal to a younger audience who might not be as saturated by them.

A little glass vile?

THEMES!

I started reading Clive Barker when I was a teenager, after I first saw Hellraiser. I love his stuff, it's all bonkers and gross.

" and I will relay this to you in comedic fashion." Funniest thing homegirl says throughout the entire video.

A number of the Hellraiser direct to video sequels involve characters trapped in their minds, going through time loops, etc. This seems to me to violate the sheer physicality of the horror on display in earlier Hellraiser films.

Oh I hated this movie.

I love the og Hellraiser so much, but dear god, did the sequels get silly fast lol. Definitely that sense of 1980s goofy schlock that Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th had but like… less caring

Almost all latter-day Hellraiser movies are scripts reworked from an "original" concept into a Hellraiser sequel, and this one certainly seems to fit that mold.

Feels like a trite "detective investigating a killer that he is" story just had some cenobites and the Lament Configuration grafted onto it, I think the reveal was probably going to be that Joseph was the Engineer all along, but it was a "dissociated personality" from his bad childhood because that's where pop-psychology was post-Se7en and Fight Club.

l think Clive Barker,disowned these films,after the third film,l liked the second one ,most,some of the hospital scenes were too bare and relatable? also, l thought Aahley lqwrence was so good ,too.

"Do I look like someone who cares what God thinks?"

It doesn't feel much like the original movie, or the clive barker story, but I enjoy it as a thing that doesn't need to be either of those things. It is at least somewhat logically consistent with the lore, Doug Bradley was pinhead, the visual effects for the hell-stuff were consistent with what I'd come to expect from the 1st and 2nd movies, and a crooked pig gets sent to hell because he couldn't understand that being a piece of shit to everyone around him was bad. Where is the issue? You wanted it to be the 1st movie? Why? The 1st movie already existed.

I remember an interview with Pinhead actor Doug Bradley from the earlier 90s where he's asked about Clive Barker's dismay at all the "Hellraiser" sequels, and Bradley basically says he doesn't care as long as he (Bradley) is getting paid.

So he deserves a big part of the blame for what's happened to the series.

Will you ever review the one that takes place in space, in the XXII century?

the engineer was the name of the 5th cenobyte in the book the first movie was based on, but I was disappointed when in this movei it was nothing lol. also you can tell that after hellraiser 4 all of these movies' scripts started as something else and then they thought "hey lets add pinhead to the story"

Abattoir, the answer is abattoir.

i think you gave me a tumor

I think the whole Engineer talk was referencing the Engineer in the Hellbound Heart, who is this sort of otherworldly entity that the other Cenobites revere. Weird that they just did nothing with it. XP

weird watchin this video and only after watching nightbreed and recognizing the main actor as being in this film. One good clive barker movie and one tangentially vaguely related to clive barker shit fest years later. poor guy.

8:46 AaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaa i had to watch that several times😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
