What pressure? Who is saying they felt pressure to do this? Maybe they just wanted to, and it isn’t a big deal?
This looks pretty awesome. If not as scary as other films, the stories should at least be interesting.
Nice. Del Toro is always worth checking out.
Agreed. Same applies to any of the three amigos in my book.
Are you thinking of Inarritu and Cuaron? If so, absolutely.
Probably the most violent film I have ever seen. It's the kind of violence that gets burnt into your memory.
Has anyone seen The Wailing?
Yeah it's certainly up there for me, it's just so visceral and in-your-face and absolutely no one is safe or spared (including babies). It's a nightmare that I enjoyed.
@NickTwentyTwo, I've seen The Wailing a few times now and I love it!
Their was a hot female cenobite in the originals anyway. Guess the proof is in the pudding.
Correct. A female cenobite makes sense.
I remember really liking how they portrayed Satan in Passion of the Christ… an androgynous female actor.
“Even?” Where else? :O
Oh man, you won’t be disappointed. For my money this puts the other movies to shame. Damien Leone really took a massive leap forward here!
Agreed. It didn't rock my world but it's the first Hellraiser film in about three decades to leave me quite excited and wanting more. It delivers powerful images and cool deaths, but without the raw masochism of the first two films. There's tension again, and the new 'Pinhead' or "Priest" provides more than enough seductive menace to welcome sequels that explore her/his/its story. The nods to old Hellraiser are sparse but effective to please me as a fan. The film runs for two hours--which is half an hour longer than almost every other film in the series--but doesn't overstay its welcome, a consequence of the story being rather well-written and the characters being more fleshed-out (no pun intended) than in most of the sequels we have seen before. A little bit more practical effects work and a little more gore would have pulled me in even more, but I am not too picky with this series. What we got exceeded my (admittedly, low) expectations so I am a fan of this one. It is not the best in the series but certainly one of the better and more original entries.
Edit: I am a fan of Hellraiser 2. This film offers a good bit of eye candy for the likes of me. An added bonus!
From Wikipedia: The February 22, 2007 issue of Entertainment Weekly features a quote that suggests that the only reason Thomas Harris wrote the story was out of the fear that a Lecter prequel/origin story would inevitably be written without his involvement. Hannibal Rising film producer Dino De Laurentiis said "I say to Thomas, 'If you don't do [the prequel], I will do it with someone else... I don't want to lose this franchise. And the audience wants it...' He said, 'No. I'm sorry.' And I said, 'I will do it with somebody else.' And then he said, 'Let me think about it. I will come up with an idea.'"
It wouldn’t surprise me if they continued Hannibal Lecter as a book series after Thomas Harris dies. They shouldn’t.
I love the first two films in this series, despite the director's more than iffy reputation. The third one let me down big time. But this recent film is beyond saving. The filmmakers are obviously horror fanboys; unfortunately, that results in an overdose of horror references, not in a film that delivers good horror. In fact, I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to laugh at this film instead. Whatever the case, this is amateur hour. The bad kind.
Apparently Martin Emborg, game designer at IOI was brought on to help develop the Lament Configuration for the 2022 Hellraiser. Get back to work on Bond! ;)
Almost pulled the trigger and watched this when I saw it available the other day. I'm glad I didn't. Thanks for saving me an hour or two, @DarthDimi.
I'm not the type to check out Internet responses, but there's a big 0% approval on RT. And it's not the kind of Showgirls-level "bad" that's so bad you just HAVE to see it and like it in a funky sort of way. No, this Jeepers Creepers has its actors (eh yeah, "actors") in cars with CGI exteriors; everything is overlit; the Creeper isn't creepy but a joke instead; and the plot feels motivated by a "let's be hip and cool!" for the kids mentality. This is terrible.
