I think the last Hellraiser film I saw was in 2002;
I just looked it up on WIKI and there are 9 films, I don't remember seeing that many!!
One sheet poster for 'The Woman'.
After seeing the trailer, I am still somewhat undecided on this, despite the names. I have not yet seen ROMAN, I loved May, and Sick Girl was a slice of schlocky campy 1950's scifi fun, but The Woman, though I will see it when I can (it does star, allbeit in a supporting role, Angela Bettis, afterall), I just can't make my mind up about it.

Cast:
Elizabeth Olsen, Sarah Paulson, John Hawkes, Hugh Dancy,
Brady Corbet, Christopher Abbott, Michael Chmiel, Maria Dizzia,
Julia Garner, Louisa Krause, Diana Masi, Allen McCullough,
Adam David Thompson.
The Film:
MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE stars Elizabeth Olsen as Martha, a damaged woman haunted by painful memories and increasing paranoia, who struggles to reassimilate with her family after fleeing a cult.
Anyway. I've only seen the first two Hellraiser movies. They weren't crap. But that looks like cheap crap.
Don't Be Afraid of the Dark RED BAND trailer
A traditional ghost story set very much in the here and now, The Innkeepers proves that the Spanish and the Japanese don’t have a monopoly on the sub-genre while confirming writer/director Ti West as one of the major talents in horror today.
Opening with a series of still photographs displaying the facelifts of the Yankee Pedlar Inn, Connecticut (a real place, in case you fancy scaring yourself half to death…), over the last 100 years, it’s then established that the rambling old building is in its final days of business.
The remaining employees are beautifully observed slackers Claire (Sara Paxton) and Luke (Pat Healy), while only the second floor is open to guests – a mother with her young son and a washed-up actress turned psychic (played with dignity and a pleasing lack of vanity by Kelly McGillis).
The inevitable backstory emerges: a woman called Madeline O’Malley is said to have hung herself in the inn after being jilted on her wedding day; she roams the corridors looking for her old lover… or perhaps a new one.
Claire and Luke fill their long, lonely shifts looking at hauntings online and playing amateur ghostbusters, creeping through the inn armed with recording equipment and a nervous sense of humour as the piano-and-icicles score melts into the ominous sound design: bass rumbles and needle-thin whines.
Then a final guest comes to stay. An old man, alone, he talks slowly and politely but screams WRONG as he insists on returning to the room he once occupied on the third floor. His arrival, if it wasn’t creepy enough, is preceded by a title reading Chapter Three: A Final Guest. (The first two chapters are A Long Weekend and Madeline O’Malley.)
Naturally he brings the fear.
Or rather Ti West does. Having spent 80 minutes establishing Claire and Luke’s offbeat, humorous characters and their affectionate friendship – these are people you believe in wholesale and want to hang with – he then, as he must, abuses our feelings by putting them through the wringer.
As always, the more you care, the more you scare.
Unlike the climax of West’s delicious The House Of The Devil, for which this is a companion piece, The Innkeepers’ final act is not a case of all hell breaking loose but rather a tightening of all that has gone before.
The camera still glides, glacially, and the lurking terror finally emerges front and centre to strangle viewers with an unhurried, implacable grip.
It is rare to see a director working with such assurance and evidencing such patience and belief (in self and audiences) from every frame. If it wasn’t for its right-here, right-now characters and the modern technology they handle, The Innkeepers could have been made at any point in the last 50 years.
Like a ghost from the past stepping into our frenetic age, West's film stands before us inviting comparisons to cinema’s most potent ghost stories and refusing to disappear in their long shadows.
This one is a keeper: classic, in every sense.
-----
I can't say that I liked the sound of The Inkeepers, but after reading that, this film now has my interest. I loved The House Of The Devil (it's one of the reasons that the decade of 2000-2009 is my favourite in horror), so i'm interested in how TI stacks up against THOTD. Especially according to the above article, they're supposed to be companion pieces.
Delayd for 2 weeks (Release date swith with Super 8.), but since last thursday in Dutch cinema. Cowboys & Aliens.

FFS Willis is past it now as McClane, I'm a fan of the movies, but even thought the fourth shouldn't have gone ahead, especially after a 12 year wait since Vengeance.
Lethal Weapon was bad enough once they went ahead with the fourth one and here we are in, or will be heading for, similar territory.
This will be the AVTAK of the John McClane/DH franchise unfortunately.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if after this they'll begin work on a sixth. :L
I have no problem with the fourth personally, Willis looked great in it but would rather the upcoming one was the end of the series. Indeed we could get into A View To A Kill territory with the final one.
Rather Die Hard than the stupid amount of Pirates of the Caribbean films we'll get in my opinion.
Bottom line is that Willis at 55 years +, is not appropriate for the role anymore, and this isin't Bond where you can just replace the actor and carry on, Die Hard/MCClane IS Willis, it just wouldn't be right to have anyone else in the role
I thought 1995's DHWAV was a fine end to the series, or would of been, at least if they were going do to a 4th they should of had it done and dusted before 12 years to the next one, that was far too long a break in the series.
And hay, what about Indy, Rambo and Rocky? Not exactly young stars either and much longer than 12 years between films.
As for Lethal Weapon there is to be a reboot. I'm not joking. http://www.deadline.com/2011/01/warner-bros-sets-gangster-squad-scribe-for-lethal-weapon-reboot/
Rocky was great, I have seen every one and they all entertain but it is simply a different series of films from what we have here
Another film series that'll get a few more films I bet...
The key thing here is that actors and producers need to know where to draw the line and say 'enough is enough'
Only pity is, some seem incapable of doing so
and Gibson will play Riggs again, IF they go ahead with a 5th, which I sincerely hope never sees the light of day, you can't have the character played by anyone else, same as with McClane
They should of killed him off at the end of the 2nd as intended but they decided to save the character and make some further (redundant) entries.
(I wanted to do an angry face but the animations icon won't allow it)
Only this time, instead of Riggs and Murtaugh up against Heroin dealers, South African Diplomats, Bent Cops and Chinese Triads they should focus on a dispute at a retirement home. :L
I suppose Pesci will be along for the ride too, okay okay okay etc etc
