Or "Hellraiser 2: Hellbound," however you like. I have no thoughts actually. I don't even know why I watched this flick.
Scratch that. I thought of 3 things to say about this film.1. It is cool that the filmmakers delve into the history of the Cenobites, especially every one's favorite, Pinhead. Apparently, the third film goes even deeper into Cenobite lore, thus it is on my Netflix que, hence an unintended "Hellraiser" marathon.
2. The film is from 1988, meaning I was young and impressionable when I first saw it, most likely with my hands over my eyes for most of the time. I remember bits and pieces of this film (I thought I had never seen it before.) Ah, memories of childhood days and parents with no filter. Really, I was a teenager, but considering I slept with the light on until I was 16.... I should not have been watching this crap!
(I was screaming this while watching Hellraiser 2. )3. The screenwriter(s) (do your IMDB research lazy) had this odd habit of having every character repeat themselves. Example:
Destroy the Mattress!
Destroy the Mattress!
or
Jesus Christ, fucking weird!
Jesus Christ, fucking weird!
It's just lazy (who is calling the kettle black?) I almost named the blog I created for my parents "Jesus Christ, fucking weird" because I liked how it sounded (twice) in this film so much. To wrap it up: This film is a little too gory for me, it is part of the reason I am so weird, and I like the concept of Demon fairy tales. This is not such a good one, but if anyone can write em, Clive Barker can. Check out his most recent Demon fairy tale "Midnight Meat Train" to see what I mean.
