This is where Hellraiser changed from being a British Horror movie, to being an American Produced slasher movie... by the Weinstein brothers. Granted as a kid, this was my favourite Hellraiser movie, coz of the amount of blood and deaths, but it lost the magic of the first two movies.
That hospital joke was savage🤣💀💀💀🤣
"It's like the fantastic four but there's three of them and it's shit" 😂 im dying
Y’all’s joke about us not being able to afford insurance was hilarious and as an American from Texas I felt hit🥹😂
I was about the make the exact joke myself until they beat me to it. Good job my lads...laughed my ass off. We as country fucking suck in about every sense that could possibly matter and even where it doesn't lol
@@Nick_CF We do indeed.
This is the first Hellraiser movie, where the Cenobites completely changed into slasher level camp.
Yeah it was camp & silly with the one liners & robotic crap but still I like the mystery of why he chooses just 3 or 4 of them & that’s it. Plus continuity it’s weird cos he loses chatterer in this… but comes back in later films 😂
To be fair the movie does explain why: Pinheads humanity had been stripped out during his fight with Channard, so now his actions were 100% demon. Hence why at the end of the movie his human half had to combine with his demonic half to return him to his original state.
Part 4 Bloodline is ok, but suffered from a massive amount of studio interference, huge amount of cuts/edits and a reordered story. The result is still worth a watch, but it potentially could've been much better.
Love the dig at American health care
4 bloodline continues the explanation of the ending and gives some history on the box itself. 3 was typical 90's transition that a lot of 80's movie sequels and music bands had a hard time transcending.
I quite liked Bloodline 👍
Think Bloodline might be my favorite!
Clive Barker had two good ideas after HR2-tying up Pinhead’s origin, and a decadent nightclub being a Hell gateway-but then the money ran out, the studio went under, the title was sold, and Hellraiser sequels started becoming insane low-rent title-grab Howling sequels…. 🤨😣
in the new Hellraiser there's a nightclub in the beginning of the film
As bad as this movie is i still really enjoyed your reaction and i'm glad you returned to the franchise. I think 4 is better than 3 but still keep your expectations low
I agree. Hellraiser 4: Bloodline is one of the better ones post-1 & 2. It gives a lot of story, even if the acting is not always stellar. And of course, there's some cool kills.
Four at least has some interesting ideas even if it lacks gore.
@@NoiseFetish yeah, there budget got cut in half because of Dimension making Halloween 6 at the same time as hellraiser 4
Yeah, Alan Smithee did a great job directing hellraiser 4 😆
The bartender who you asked "Are you British?" and "I wonder how he got cast in the film" is actually the film's writer Peter Atkins who also wrote Hellraiser 2 and 4. And yes he's British 🙂
Not only that, but Uncle Frank is British. They dubbed an American's voice in; you'll notice they never state clearly what city the first two movies take place in but all the main characters have American accents and all the extras have British accents.
Yeah, this one’s not the best, but I’ll always have a soft spot for the lead actress for her work on Star Trek DS9 as Dax. I really hope you guys do get around to watching the fourth one (Hellraiser: Bloodline), not because it’s great, but I do enjoy it, it’s so bonkers and goofy in that 90s horror way, plus it has Adam Scott as the least French Frenchman ever. I think you can stop after that, they’re pretty crap after 4 (though I seem to remember 6 wasn’t that bad).
At least is not part 5..6... Hellseeker.. judgement..oh god
Bloodline is ok ish if you stick to the flashbacks scenes
@@JoeKerr019 Don’t forget part 8, Hellworld, with Henry Cavill!
@@benf8933 ... Fuck, im sad now
I've seen the first four, and yes, 4 is better than three. I've watched it a couple of times and enjoyed it, but it does have its flaws: it obviously didn't have much of a budget, the space part is a bit silly, and the last act was rewritten at the instigation of the producers, which sadly means the new central demon character basically becomes an extra after Pinhead reappears.
This movie suffered from the studio wanting it to be one thing while the filmmakers themselves wanted it to be more like the first two. Guess who won most of those battles?
they also didn't even get a budget. they wanted to literally make it hell on earth. all they got were a few streaks of fire on the streets and what was it...two cops? that was hell on earth on a budget.
Definitely not the audience.
A Pillar of Souls prop was up for auction recently. Who wouldn't want that in their house?
I’d love it!!!!!
Hell yes
Even though the movies after 2 aren't great, there is still something very enjoyable about the lore and world.
Agree with that 100%!! They are terrible but fun!
Sometimes hospitals are fairly "empty" depending on where you're at, and what time it is.. big city vs smaller ones, emergency area vs other areas. I've stayed overnight visiting a couple times and yes, it can sometimes be quiet and spooky like a horror movie. Also, it is too expensive here. That was hilarious.
Still cant wait for your Slither reaction
🤣 Tom asks "I wanna now how that guy ( the barman) got cast in this movie."
Easy, that's Pete Atkins, the script writer. 😂
I know people give this movie flack but it still has a kickass song by Motorhead as the credits roll.
It's better than 2.
Both Ozzy and Lemmy have versions of Hellraiser. .
@@gamleskalle1 lemmy actually wrote the song 'Hellraiser' for Ozzy Osborne originally and then motorhead did their version for this movie
I love the 1st 3 Hellraiser movies,
@@rossbarrett6821 Better than 2? Are you crazy?
I love that you guys are doing hellraiser, and you're three movies in. theyre bad but you fellas watching them is great! keep it up! im also watching through these in order.
Would be awesome if you could react to Wishmaster, it's a very underrated horror movie, one of my favourites :)
He had a really cool voice as well 😆
Love the Wishmaster films, even the crapier last two.
@@paulrees3861 Lol there was a time i actually liked 3, but i just couldn't with 4...they are somewhat fun though...first 2 are awesome! hopefully they will cover these movies!
I’m a horror fan and I can tell you right now DO NOT watch the other six parts because it gets more and more ridiculous. There is one sequel where Pinhead is hardly seen, Hellraiser: Inferno. Don’t waste your time! For any true horror fan, the first two Hellraisers are as good as it gets. This horror movie franchise had, being the operative word, HAD potential but it’s clear who ever owns the rights to this had no idea what to do with this and that is sad. Anytime a horror franchise runs out of ideas there is always that one sequel that takes place in outer space like Jason X, Leprechaun in Space, etc. Pathetic and embarrassing to say the least. I’d rather watch your reaction to the rest of the a Halloween franchise or the rest of the Freddy franchise. I hope this helps you to decide what to watch and react to that is far superior than this waste of film. No matter you both choose, I will be looking forward to seeing what you watch and react to. Cheers!!
The ending chase scene was filmed on the streets of Greensboro, North Carolina, which is 10 miles from where I live!
Im new to this channel but love your guys chemistry and tom facial expressions kill me lol...and course the accents. hellraiser was my favorite horror series back in the day. never realized that was dax from deep space 9 either
Worked on Slither. We knew back then that Gunn was gonna be great.
"I don't wanna see Pinhead in a musical."
Well, now I kinda do.
I am glad to see you guys going for the third movie. I binged a bunch of the reactions last week. This time, I subbed.
Me, an American laughing about the empty American Hospitals joke: "Ha ha, I'm going to die young"
I laugh so as not to cry lol
I've seen this movie a couple of times and never once did I catch that one guy looking directly at the camera! That's hilarious! xDDD
3:50 truer words have never been spoken
The best I can say about this one is that it was better than 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8. I never saw 9 or 10. Four was...an Alan Smithee film. Had it's moments, but I really think Hellraiser II is the best. Partly because it rehashes a lot from the first one and then fills their new stuff into what time is left, rather than stretching the new stuff too thin. if that makes any sense.
But the thing I like about horror is that even if a film is bad, it can still be enjoyed. At least as something to make fun of. It is only if it gets too convoluted to follow or too slow and boring to make it through that I really consider one "bad" in the traditional sense.
I personally enjoyed the hellraiser inferno from 2000...it went back to a simpler idea and I actually enjoyed the writing of it...
I agree. Inferno was actually surprisingly good!
Slither was James gunns 1st movie as a Director, he got his start with Troma, he co-wrote Tromeo & Juliet, ( Narrated by Lemmy Kilmister from Motorhead), he went on to write the screenplays for the 1st two live action Scooby Doo movies & Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead Remake
That American hospitals joke cracked this American up. Spot on. 😂
so good so brutal so true
That hospital comment made me sad cuz it’s true 😆
Yeah this is a rough one. Some cool scenes but such a step down in characters and mood, which is a big part of why the first 2 films work on top of the effects. The horror of these films always felt contained and even intimate and the club massacre scene completely goes against that feeling for a pointless "here's a bunch of blood and deaths" moment. I would say 4 is worth watching both because it's leaps ahead of this one and returns to some of the more character-centric elements of the first 2. But anything after 4 is a waste of time as the company essentially would just take bad and unused horror scripts and slap Pinhead into them at the end and call them Hellraiser films to keep the IP.
Your reaction is better than the film itself. Hellraiser 3 is so tonely off that it's almost like a parody of what came before it.
God forgot Dax from Star Trek Deep Space 9 was in this film. 😍😍
Alright boys, I think you're now ready to see Meet the Feebles.
Ever gonna see Nightbreed? I have a soft spot for that one even if its far from perfect.
That not affording hospitals hit too hard yall xD . We really can't.
Every genuinely terrible movie you guys have to sit through I now consider karmic justice for shitting on Halloween III 😂
I saw this when I was young and being killed by CD's has always terrified me.
Couldn't agree more. Still would like you to review some early B horror films like... Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things, Don't Look in the Basement and Let's Scare Jessica to Death. Would LOVE to see your reactions to these. Keep up the good work!!
Those are 3 solid, low-budget gems! Add to that list Lemora, Lisa and the Devil, and The Legend of Hell House!
Actually I'm gonna go back on Children Shouldn't... Bob Clark's worst, possibly (well...ok: Karate Dog). If you wanna see a 70's horror movie with an annoying occultist mansplaining the whole time - Simon King of the Witches is way better.
I would LOVE to have a spinning hellraiser totem, that thing looks fire af
I love your reaction to this, I had the same reaction when I watched this at the cinema, there is one sequel where Ashley Lawrence returns that isn’t bad and an awful one featuring a very young Henry Cavill, if you want to see a decent 80’s horror sequel watch the 1988 movie ‘The Fly 2’ featuring Eric Stolz, a good engaging story and some brilliant gory effects in the last half.
This series is primed for a great reboot!
New Hellraiser is amazing
This film is a big departure from the original Hellraiser formula, but I still love this one! It's a lot more comedic and it's got that super cheesy, campy early-90s vibe, and that ridiculous climax with all those explosions everywhere, this film is a blast!
I remember watching this one for the first time after having 2 wisdom teeth out, with so much bloodshed and pain in this film, I felt it more than I should have done!
Uhg, way to make me dread the eventual removal of my wisdom teeth, hahaha 😆🥲
You weren’t chatterer after that
They only get worse as the movies go on lol. Hellraiser Judgement was pretty good though imo. The latest one doesn't have Doug as Pinhead, but it was def the best since 1 & 2 in my honest opinion
First Hellraiser movie I ever saw. Watched them in reverse order. ::holds up a box signed by Doug Bradley::
A Thriller/comedy recommendation: The Voices
With Ryan Reynolds, Anna Kendrick, ...
Your guys are going to love this one!!!
10:13-well, he DID voice the Sith Emperor in Star Wars The Old Republic. And I nearly shit myself hearing that voice in the game!
This movie got bit by the big "80s horror movie sequel" bug.
"You can take the same concept but write a better movie" is the motto of all the Hellraiser movies past the second one.
This is worse than Halloween 3 because you can't rewatch this with a drinking game.
I love how stupid these modern Cenobites are! I saw this in high school in the theaters. The audience laughed through the whole ending.
I lovee the first two Hellraiser movies, then they pretty much just go downhill. I do love the pillar of souls prop from this one though.
I literally want to see a reaction to every 80's movie from you! I am obsessed! 🥹❤️
When I saw this film when it came out I actually fell asleep at the theater, lol
Is something wrong with the camera or is the saturation/contrast super low on purpose? It's getting really difficult to see you.
Also, please watch part 4...it has Adam Scott!
Everybody always says in the comments that the 4th one was the last to be released in theatres, but thats not true. I saw Inferno IN a movie theatre.
Hellraiser 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are good fun. 5 and 10 need to be avoided at all costs.
"JESUS CHRIST!"
"Not quite."
The bartender is actually the screenwriter...
Oh wow. Terri is Nate Jacobs mom on Euphoria! 😱
Event Horizon is the real Hellraiser 3 imo
Hellraiser 3 is MTV Hellraiser film, complete with Gen X Cenobites and Batman and Robin humor and special effects. Unless you're just wanting a good laugh, it's worth skipping ahead to Bloodline: Hellraiser 4.
That British guy as the bartender is the writer of the film as well as HR 2 and 4 so just a fun cameo for him!
The English Barman in The Boiler Room is Pete Atkins who wrote the script to this and also Hell Bound and Blood Line.
"Who does that?"
Patrick Bateman
The first two were still the best.
1st and 2nd are best, some good practical effects. I like the guy with the jackhammer through his head.
May not be a popular opinion but I like the next movie, Hellraiser Bloodline. It retcons a couple of things, but I do love seeing the origin of the box and the multiple generations of the same familly linked to it and how it's wrapped up at the end (admittedly in a silly way, IN SPAAAAAAAAAACE!).
The Hellraiser series is notorious for taking pre-existing scripts, adding Pinhead and then calling it a sequel.
We warned you guys: should've stopped at 2. Your disappointment was delicious to watch so I had a good laugh 😃
In defence of this movie , they weren't going for Shakespeare . It's like a rock / metal concert , just Rockin out . We all loved it back when it came out . Not that ppl weren't as sophisticated then , it's just everyone knew what to expect and enjoyed it for what it was
On another note , you guys are the only movie reacts I ever watch . Genuine . I always find it funny that you , Sean , spend half the time condescendingly talkin sht , and the other half looking lovingly into Tom's eyes . Lol . Great channel guys 👍
Shaun, 'I think I could edit this film and make it better!' Agreed, but you'd probably only have enough footage left for a good trailer 😁😂
I personally like Hellraiser IV much more than this one which was honestly really really...bad. Hellraiser IV digs into the history of the cube aka Lament Configuration and other "origin" themes. It's definitely a much better sequel than Hellraiser III since HR3 doesn't really have any kind of story development going; it's just taking some cenobites, the lament configuration, some attractive airheads and a lot of special fx mashed together to cash in on the popularity of Pinhead and Co.
HR4’s not a “real” HR sequel, but at least it takes itself seriously enough to be a respectful finale to the series….If only it HAD been. 😔
Once they started getting subtitles, like “Hellraiser: Inferno”, it had just become a title-grab anthology, where Pinhead is shoehorned into a couple scenes near the end to comment on it all, like that Freddy Kruger TV series.
@@ericjanssen394 Oh yes, HR5->HR8 weren't even HR-films to begin with, they were completely separate scripts that weren't given a chance to be made so they added some cenobites to the scripts and sold them under the Hellraiser brand. So so bad. The ones after that? At the bottom of the barrel and not even worthy of Mystery Science Theatre 3000.
@@scyphe Inferno not only doesn’t play like a “real” HR sequel, but the Angel Heart-cribbing story of a cop investigating a murder, re-encountering all the other lives he ruined during his cocaine addiction, and Pinhead only shows up at the end to tell him where he’s been all this time, feels DISTINCTLY like the kind of “atonement” script that screenwriters write after coming out of Rehab. Pinhead is NOT an AA counselor.
I enjoyed some of the low budget sequels but they were obviously written as movies not connected to the Hellraiser franchise then rewritten in part to include Cenobites and become so. You should look up the Hellraiser 3 section of the Leviathan documentary, it's really fun even if you have a 'what went wrong?' type of perspective. One of my favourite stories is how the studio paid Clive Barker a load of cash to not be involved and not have his name on the film at all, then later deciding that was a big mistake and paying him a 2nd time to use his name all over, so he was minted twice for doing sod all and it really shows a bit of how the studio bumblefucked about with so many things with this film.
When this opened in 92 a friend and I took our dates to see this. The girls did not enjoy the movie🤣. Well, actually we dudes were pretty disappointed too.
I've seen all the movies in the series, but in my opinion, the 4th installment is the last canonical movie in the franchise. The rest of the movies just seem like scripts of generic thriller movies with Pinhead being written into it as an afterthought.
As soon as Clive Barker ceased to be involved, every subsequent film after II got worse and worse. Now, Clive is back and involved in the new series with Jamie Clayton as Pinhead in a more faithful retelling of The Hellbound Heart.
The best thing about this film is the song Motorhead did for the soundtrack :)
Tony Hickox, director of this, made a bunch of top-notch, silly, practical-effex, dumpster fire horror films. (Bruce Campbell's in a couple of them). They're *all* great fun for anyone with joy in their heart!
Y'all complained that the movie is a joke. It's _supposed_ to be a joke. Hickox made parody movies in the style of Sam Raimi ie The Evil Dead, which makes sense as they went to movie school together.
I think the later Hellraiser movies are not as bad as their reputation suggests, I think Hellworld onwards are garbage but those before it has some interesting things going for them. I would recommend you watch at least up to Hellseeker, but for everything after Bloodlines are better if you don't think of the as Hellraiser movies because they have barely nothing in common. Inferno in itself is pretty neat Jacob's Ladder-type psychological thriller.
The Hollywood producers wanted the first two movies to be like this one, but fortunately Clive Barker absolutely refused. Sadly he was no longer involved with the franchise from the third movie and onward. When they reached the 5th installment the movies were made by buying scripts that originally had nothing to do with Hellraiser and cramming Pinhead into them. This was done because they needed to make new Hellraiser movies every few years to keep the license, and when they made the travesty that is the 9th movie they were cutting it so close that they outright told the director and writer that they didn't care about the quality of the finished product as long as they had another Hellraiser movie before the deadline. The result was something so bad that I've never bothered to watch the latest movie even though it's said to be a decent one.
Oh, guys, please check out the director's cut of Clive Barker's "Night Breed", I think you will like that more.
I just can't fathom how they hate Halloween III so much. Like, to compare it to this is ridiculous
The film that literally went to Hell. The thing that made the original and II great was that the humans were the true monsters, the cenobites were merely the judge, jury and executioners.
Tom, your original 2.8 was the correct call.
Would love some Asian horror movie reactions, Ringu, Dark water, Ju on, Audition, Ichi the killer, Shutter, Pulse, A tale of two sisters, i saw the devil, noroi the curse.
This was the first horror movie at age 5 lol 🤣. I would love to see you edit it
EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH FRAILTY STARRING BILL PAXTON AND MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY. DON'T RUIN THE TWISTY PLOT BY READING REVIEWS!
Part 4 Bloodlines is pretty good - one of my favourites of the series alongside part 2.
Get excited, the next film is an Alan Smithee entry (still better than 3) and the next few after that were spect scripts that originally had no connection to the series and they just throw Pinhead in.
I'm so glad you lads rated this film as you did. It gets far too much leeway just because it's got Pinhead saying some cool lines. Everything you said about the writing, directing and acting is pretty much what I think. Turning Pinhead into a quippy, one liner spewing slasher villain is the complete antithesis of what made him compelling in the first two films.
Doing 4 may put you off the series overall, as it's wildly inconsistent in its quality. But I'd implore you to watch 5, as while it certainly isn't a great film, it does some interesting stuff that's consistent with the lore put forward in the first two.
The church scene is still my favorite. 10/10 would go to church if he was behind the pulpit
"Then WTF is that" line is the biggest reason this is not better than the OG for me, it's my 2nd favorite after the first
I'd give a million bucks to find out what EXACTLY Tom was thinking at 11:46
I think 4 was the last Hellraiser I ever watched, and I would suggest not even bothering. Maybe check out Wishmaster instead. Kind of similar but at least it’s produced by Wes Craven. Or wait and do a horror sequels in outer space marathon: Hellraiser 4, Leprechaun 4, Critters 4, Jason X
Heres the thing about this movie at the end of Hellraiser 2. Pinhead was turned human and lost his soul. The part that was human was what made him obedient to Hell rules. So in this one Pinhead was just the part that liked an enjoyed torturing and killing people. So he basically went rogue and didn't care about hells rules. So he was trying to make its own kingdom or version of hell with no rules. Because when combined with his human half or soul he is forced to follow the rules of hell.
Thank you, everybody got that stupid story.
It's still a terrible movie.
@@sidnew2739 At least this movie followed the facts of the movie that came before it. Then showed what Pinhead is truly capable of when he doesn't have to follow any rules. Could it of been done better yes but it doesn't mean it's a stupid story. Because it's a proper conclusion of Hellraiser 2.
Heres one movie franchise that is full of stupid stories. That's using your terminology by calling them stupid. I have Friday the 13th 40th anniversary limited edition on Blu-ray or DVD. But I am going to only use facts to state why every movie past the first one is bad and makes no sense and therefore has a bad story. In the audio commentary for that movie an other bonus features. Lets start with the fact there's no continuity past the first movie. The first movie made it perfectly clear Jason Voorhees died in Crystal Lake as a child in 1957. Dead as in permanently not alive in any way shape or form. Then the end when he popped up out of the water was all in her head it was it a dream or a nightmare facts. Because the director and Tom Savini stated that on the movie extra bonus features. When the movie studio went to the director we want Jason to be the killer in part 2. He says something like that is stupid and makes no sense. Because you know he was written as a dead character from the start to serve as. Mrs Voorhees motivation to go insane an kill people only right he was never alive to begin with. He was never in this movie to begin with the end was One Last jump-scare Only. So how am I supposed to bring back someone that was never alive to begin with. Then when they ask Tom Savini to work on it he said thats stupid. Because Jason was never in the first movie in first place he was a dead character from the start. He was never in the first movie he was never in the lake to begin with the was one last jump-scare only. So why would he be in the 2nd one. So they refuse to work on Friday the 13th part 2 because the movie studio was making a non-existent. Character be alive and the killer in it that being Jason Voorhees.
Thats bad or as you would say stupid storytelling. Because the movie studio ignored the facts of the first movie. They took a Dead character from the very beginning of the first movie. That Bing Jason Voorhees and made him somehow alive even though. Everyone that worked on the first movie said that he was a dead character from the start and was never. Alive to begin with he was written as motivation only for his mother to go insane and kill people only. Then made him the main character like he never died that is bad or as you would say stupid storytelling at its finest.
Now part 2 and everyone afterwards I would say bad story writing and storytelling. You say stupid story writing and storytelling. Part 2 an afterwards Community there is none then the simple and honest fact. That its the same movie over and over again you see people go to Crystal Lake. You see them get killed by a killer that doesn't exist by the facts of the first movie. Over an over again part 2 and everything else is the same movie but with different victims. Thats what I call or say is bad story plot for telling. You would call it stupid storytelling or story plot.
I am just using facts not my feelings in any way shape or form. With the expect place I got my information from that being the 40th anniversary limited edition of the movie Friday The 13th. Form the audio commentary and other bonus features on it.
If you guys think the film is bad man do not watch any of the rest of films because this is the last one that was anything and that is with one remake!
