"The Mullholland Drive pilot if it was picked up by the USA network." That earned this video a like.
I was just about to compliment the same line when I saw your comment. So true.
⁹
I remember watching the first four "Hellraiser"s and thinking, "These need more karate-kicking cowboys."
Doesn't everything?
Yeee-HIYA, pardner
Poor Pinhead not only has he pins in his head, he also has a Thorne in his side. Thank you i will see myself out.
Lmao wait no come back thats corny gold
Patrick Star: BOOOOOO!
I got into hellraiser by watching theses reviews. Anyone else say the same thing?
you probably dont care but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can watch all of the latest series on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my gf for the last few months :)
@Lennox Dakari Yup, I've been watching on instaflixxer for years myself =)
The fact that the director later went on to make The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Sinister and Doctor Strange is honestly quite inspiring when you think about it. Just because you have a bumpy start, doesn't mean it sets you up for life.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
Just like David Fincher
Doctor Strange is the only good on that list.
@@dragonmaster613 I really liked the first sinister it was only part 2 that sucked. And a lot of people liked the exorcism of Emily rose but I opted out of that one. Heard it was pretty scary though.
The first Sinister wasn't too bad. It could have been better, but I didn't hate it. I haven't seen the Exorcism of Emily Rose, but I did like Doctor Strange.
Every great director, writer and actor can trace their roots back to low budget horror movies. Roger Corman made a career of mentoring the next generation of great filmmakers.
I’m glad more people are recognizing that Inderno is a fun movie
Now I want to see the Doctor Strange-Hellraiser crossover. I don't care what media it's done in, someone needs to make it happen.
Thank you for the Twin Peaks reference.
Honestly, I love this movie. Even though I know it wasn't originally a Hellraiser script it still feels closer to the novella and Epic comics than everything else after 2.
I agree! As a fan of the Epic comics, this is my third favorite Hellraiser film.
This film strongly feels like one of the better entry in the comic universe. Unique, fun, a tiny bit cliche but very creepy.
It's crap...just like your taste.
It was originally a Hellraiser script though. Derrickson has said he was asked to do a pitch for Hellraiser 5. The one who started the lifted spec script rumor was Doug Bradley.
All of the direct to video Hellraiser movies feel like late 90s point and click fmv horror games...or maybe it just because they all remind me of Phantasmagoria 2.
lol, nice one.
I heard that Curtis!
@@charlottecorday8494 Thank for this.
@@DrSpookula I swear on my first born I was listening to Spoony's LP of it the day before this was posted
@@charlottecorday8494 I still watch it every October.
I've always thought this movie kind of stumbled on a great angle to portray the concept that once you open the box, it's over. You belong to Pinhead, and he gets to screw with you however he likes.
Still a huge departure from what Hellraiser is supposed to be about...those individuals who seek extreme experiences.
It's honestly my favorite Hellraiser sequel. If you don't require a lot of cenobites and a lot of Pinhead in your Hellraisers, I think it's pretty good, and it works as psychological horror and gritty police procedural.
@@xxcrysad3000xx It's a bad sequel if you require the Hellraiser lore as part of the sequels though. The problem isn't screentime, it's that it doesn't fit the character or his MO. It'd be like a Nightmare on Elm Street movie that didn't feature Freddie killing people in nightmares but instead was a masked killer who performed home invasions. Even if it was good, its still not a Nightmare movie. Same thing here. The only "Not Hellraiser that was turned into a Hellraiser" sequel that even partially fits the lore is Deader.
@@jamiebraswell5520well you can consider as trying to seek extreme experience through psychological torture.
@@walsh9080it shows what happens when get sucked into the box. People forget Thorne was already caught by cenobites at the beginning and they were just torturing him. they weren't hunting Thorne as they've already caught him. I actually enjoyed this movie since it made the cenobites hell interesting, before people thought hell in hellraiser was just a bdsm torture porn realm. Also it gave nuance to the phrase "demons to some, angels to others" from outside perspective it might seem that the cenobites are punishing Thorne for his sins but we know they are just torturing Thorne for their goal.
I have had SUCH a shitty day today!! Had a 14 hour work day with people I don't like Thank you brad for making my day better! I needed this review.
Hang in there. I hate shitty days like that. I hope ur on the other end of ur bad day and that tomorrow kicks ass.
@@stefanfilipovits21 Thanks, bro
Do you work for the post office?
@@charlottecorday8494 I WISH!! At least then I'd get benefits. lol
@@sparrow420500 Even those aren't worth it. I've worked 25 hours in the past two days and it'll be 37 by the end of tonight. This is the worst job I've ever had in my life
Just finished this, and I must say, for what it is, this movie's AMAZING. It's strange it isn't held in higher regard.
When Scott Derrickson was on Kevin Smith's podcast he said Inferno not being a Hellraiser script is a misconception. He said that Bob Weinstein offered him to rewrite it as a bigger budget stand alone film (with a happier ending), but he refused because he didn't want to do that, and he also wanted to direct (which he might not have been able to do if it was a bigger budget film? not sure at this point). Anyway, this is my favorite Hellraiser movie after the original. I never liked the sequels full of more & more Cenobites as evil monsters, and this kind of takes it back to the basics. Yeah, it's derivative, but hey, it's a direct to video movie. And also looks a lot better than most dtv movies of that era.
Just came back to this to post something similar. In a new feature over on Bloody-Disgusting, Derrickson again addresses the story about its not-origin as an unrelated script.
The fact that the snob makes roughly 8 trillion jokes about it not being a Hellraiser script makes this fact very funny.
Snob's line "No time for dead hookers" almost made me piss myself :)
I was in need of a new motto for 2022.
"Okay, we need a sequel to Hellraiser."
"Let's make it a Detective drama."
"You just got yourself a promotion."
Easily the best of the DTV Hellraisers. Derrickson makes it work💪🏼
My mother ordered me the actual book hellbound heart and I read it in a day. It doesn't really focus on the cenobites, more the human characters
This is actually my fav Hellraiser movie
I lost it at the "lettuce shredder" part 🤣
How can I be expected to enjoy Lloyd's Out Of Context clips if he immediately tells me the context right afterwards?
Imagine opening the box and your Hell was watching all the direct to video sequels forever.
That's just this channel.
I vaguely like the idea of a script that is written so generically that whichever actor shows up on the set that day is who the movie's now about.
Darn it Snob, now I have to watch Carman "Satan Bite the Dust" again! XD
this and hellseeker are the best straight to dvd hellraiser movies
Inferno and Hellseeker seem like they still slightly care about the franchise
@@stefanfilipovits21 thats why i like them so much
I completely agree with you, though, I would add #7 as well.
"I must say, I kinda liked it!" Is pretty much my one line reveiw too.
First time I seen this, I was so happy they were going with a new unique path, but thought the others would continue to be unique also.
As someone who's never seen 911 Lone Star, I appreciate the out of context clips.
Why did Brad edit Pinhead's voice in this video? I distinctly remember Pinhead's voice being much higher-pitched, nasally and very similar to Brad's own voice.
After they went to direct-to-video, they didn't have enough in the budget to bring back the superior voice.
THAT HALLOWEEN III TAPE PART! HAHAHAHAH
When I was a little kid I always wanted to solve a Rubik's Cube from hell.🧊🧊🧊
I always thought that rubik cartoon was pitched like the cartoon spinoff of attack of the killer tomatoes but they couldn't tone down the scariness even after removing pinhead
By the time the cowboys appears, I was thinking that it would be nice to see a Hellraiser (or Hellraiser-ish) movie made by David Lynch
Hell yes, my favorite Hellraiser movie! What are the chances the Snob enjoys this movie as much as I do? Prolly not too good, lol. We shall see... time to press play and find out!
A lot of people hate this Hellraiser, but it's one of my favorite; so thank you for reviewing it. I still think you grew from an alien root and ate the real Cinema Snob, but we’ll take you, if your what we’re given.
Every time I get constipated I go to the Overlook Hospital. Crap gets scared right out of me!
Oddly my favorite Hellraiser movie. It seems the most ACTUALLY adherent to the concept of the lore.
*James Remar transforms into Pinhead*
"Oh my god, it's GOTTMIK!"
I was obsessed with all things hellraiser for like a year, maybe ten years ago... I devoured the comic books. These movies ain't all that bad. I binged on the whole set of movies at some point. they're not perfect by any length, but they are enjoyable.
We were on some sort of synchronicity as I was also pretty obsessed with this series about a decade ago. The first two direct to video releases were more worthy sequels than the last theatrical release, the rest are pretty forgettable to bad though.
Only ones I didn't really like were Hellseeker and Revelations. Hellseeker wasted a good idea with Lawrence's return and Revelations was well.. Revelations. 8 I surprisingly enjoyed quite a bit granted it's more of a pure slasher movie than a Hellraiser one. Judgement was fantastic for how low budget it was.. felt like the first real Hellraiser movie in ages. 5's the best of the DTV lot though but Judgement's a close 2nd.
Funny how you make a twin peaks reference, I just finished watching all three seasons and the movie “fire walk with me” and I’m actually saddened that’s it’s over already. It was a fantastic show! Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy
R.i.p chuck
@@dominichart8181 r.I.p chuck 🤘🏻
I hate it when i first saw it but after watching it again I really liked the idea of pinhead messing with people as opposed to just ripping them to shreds.
Same
Exactly I know everybody focus on the physical torture but mental and emotional torture can also get the job done. That's why I also like this movie
I like the film too as it's own thing, but it really isn't a Hellraiser story at all. Those who open the box have deep seated desires that summon the Cenobites. The Cenobites are not arbiters of morality who judge you for your sins, they are explorers of experience. Certain types of people seek them out...they aren't out to get you for your sinful life. Nothing in Inferno connects with what Hellraiser is aside from just having Pinhead appear for a few minutes.
Kind of gives it a “Twilight Zone” feel.
Brad inspired me to actually rewatch this, and it just dawned on me: Craig Sheffer is really rocking his inner Boreanaz.
Glad I'm not the only one to see the resemblance.
This is actually my favourite hellraiser after the first one 😅
Ahh, thanks for covering this one! I've always had a soft spot for it and nothing confirms my appreciation for the flick than your jokes and delivery.
Funny that almost all the direct to video films were stories re-written to slap pinhead in them. Now I want to see Kirsty fight a cenobite army 😂
Nothing like making a quick buck from an established property/retaining the rights by pumping out sh!t. Kudos Hollywoodbland.
No, that was only the case with Deader.
6:14
I went back to rewatch this with friends and we heard this.
Good times😂😂😂
Like Hellraiser: Hellseeker (2002) after it, "Inferno" was originally a non-Hellraiser related horror script owned by Dimension. To save money on writing a completely original Hellraiser story, the script was quickly edited to insert the Pinhead and the Cenobites.
The special effects budget was only $50,000.
Plot similarities to Leon Garfield's "The Ghost Downstairs".
The word Cenobite means a member of a monastic order.
(at around 1h 16 mins) When Dr. Paul Gregory reveals himself as The Engineer, the cross on his lapel pin is upside-down.
Scott Derrickson already debunked the first one
You made my day Brad.
"Is this where we find out he grew up to be the killer from Pieces?" hahaha god damn Snob, I love ya!
Why are you cussing? Is it supposed to make you sound edgy or something?
@@jamiebraswell5520 nerd
Lloyd's 9-11 Lone Star clip of the week!
A Coupling reference - nice!
Wait...that's the guy from Nightbreed, another Clive Barker story!
I spent half of this like "if the psychiatrist is The Engineer, this is a Nightbreed ripoff" and lo and behold
Edit: I made this comment not realizing the actor was actually on the opposite side of this scenario in Nightbreed and that makes this about 10 times better
It is not a Clive Barker story. He had nothing to do with it, and really, this film has nothing to do with Hellraiser as created by Clive Barker except for the theft of Pinhead used here. Inferno is not a bad film, but it really isn't a true Hellraiser film at all.
Craig Scheffer. Also known as discount David Boreanaz. Last I saw him it was a Steven Seagal turd. Shame on a couple of levels.
@@jamiebraswell5520 It is actually. It's based on his book, Cabal
@@leewright1 Yeah if you squint a little, its Boreanaz
oh boy this one
1st class review Snob :)
we live you cinema snob!
This is my third favorite hell raiser movie. Only cause Jacob's ladder and 1408 are my favorite movies.
Please be gentle with Hellraiser Deader. I actually like that one, it has Special Agent Tanya SHAKE IT BABY
More like Hellraiser Zombies, lol
Which one: RA1, RA2 or RA3?
@@dvader518 Kari Wuhrer from RA2
I surprisingly liked that one too! I really wish it had stayed as whatever original script it started out as, instead of getting shoehorned into the Hellraiser franchise. The ways they tried to "cheat death" were definitely interesting.
@@vovin8132 She was also Poison Ivy in Batman: Gotham by Gaslight.
Thanks as always Lloyd, oh and of course you too Snob
Drug cop would be amazing, like a version of iZombie that wasn't dependent on eating brains but on using crime scene drugs. Trippy visuals and the crapshoot of wondering whether the clues Unearthed through using substances could lead to proper deduction while under the influence of said substances.
Dude! Main character plays Mordred in Merlin: The Return! I knew I remembered him from somewhere.
Both Hellraiser and Friday the 13th did this thing with part V, breaking out of the box. Exploring new ideas. Didn't turn out well for the Halloween-franchise, though. Love your show.
Been missing out again in watching Brads' videos. But glad I made it to see this one!
I've been enjoying your videos for years, man. Endless entertainment. Cheers ~
Great review Brad, your commentary is just so hilarious.
Yay!
Thank you, Loyd! The only thing missing from your clip was having the corrupt cop from the movie your human is reviewing being in that very room behind the guy with the star on his shirt. (I've been spending most of the review waiting for a truly Hellraiser-worthy fate for that face-of-a-lemon-sucker!)
I love all Hellraiser films. Still haven't seen the final one or two most recent ones, but I'm sure I'll love them as well.
How did I miss the connection between Bad Lieutenant and Leviathan!?
This is the only Hellraiser film I've seen, and while it's very good as a psychological thriller, I"m not at all surprised this started out as a separate story. The pinhead stuff does seam very tacked on.
It didn't start out as a separate story. Derrickson pitched the film to dimension before he ever sent them a script
I need my Lloyd Approved content!
Saw this movie on cable once. Thought it was boring and the ending will leave you so mad.
I remember liking this movie quite a bit when I was a teen
My body is beyond ready
Good one! The more crooked the cop, the more he'll provide naration." Very good,
Nice Carman addition lol, caught me off guard.
This is what happens when you mix Max Payne and Hellraiser with one Epic Snob.
I sincerely appreciate hearing Lucy asking me to stay tuned.
I actually really enjoyed this film. It didn't hold up perfectly to age, but there were some really cool scenes. Like when he sees his mom in the chair. It always creeped me out how she told him to put his gun away and then you heard them get ripped apart after he walked out of the room.
I’ll say this much, the director managed to go up in the world after this.
Sidenote; Rubix cubes can become a kind of lament configuration. It just takes a bunch of acid and the person who you bind to it may need to be drunk on moonshine (not sure if that's nescessary, but it's what happened)
I remember renting this with a buddy of mine when it came out. We thought it would be an amusingly corny watch with a few drinks, going off the DVD (or was it VHS?) cover.
We both ended up quite enjoying it. It looks a little cheesier than I recall, but still.
I rented on vhs and it started messing up at the end during pinheads speech but in a way that made it more creepy.
@@theadamblock So, it was long enough ago for it to have been a VHS? Christ, I am getting old.
@@MarquisSmith Yeah, this movie is 21 years old. The VHS and DVD versions both have the same exact front cover.
@@michaelbolcato192 Jesus. I'd have been just old enough to watch it legally with it's Rated 18 Certificate (UK), which is a grim reminder of mortality. I was an adult that long ago? Fuck
Amazing
10:00 thats the demon Ash summons from Ash vs the evil dead!
lol I can tell you from experience that you DEFINITELY go through a dark tunnel on Robitussin……I didn’t stick around long enough to meet Pinhead, though.
I liked this movie too. Ive seen it a few times.
Welcome to another episode of The James Remar Show with the Cinema Snob (formerly The John Carradine Show with the Cinema Snob)!
11:45
Oh, it’s a creepy cenobite cowboy, alright-and on roller skates no less!
Hellraiser by way of Silent Hill ?
Fingers crossed for future videos on Pure Flix’s The Mark 1 and 2 that stars Craig Sheffer 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Cinema snob hellraiser is the bees knees
That movie was the shiznit!!
Did I spy a “Coupling” clip in the beginning? Series Watch on that maybe soon? 😁
That Carmen ref got me. One of my favorite reviews.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU. I'VE GOT SUCH SIGHTS TO SHOW YOU...
One of the most unsettling, menacing lines I've ever heard. Its a promise that elicits curiosity quickly slammed by fear beyond imagination. Then realisation you're f?£ked for eternity, then even more fear!
Of the largely, um, 'unfortunate' direct-to-video HR Schlockquels, 'Inferno' is by FAR the best; like, it's not even a *contest* 😎 🤘
Oh Hell yeah !
.... Okay, I forgot about the cowboy. And I called myself a fan. Good one.
I needed this today 💕💕
Not bad for a direct to video movie.
Uhm...yes it is
The last time I was this early they had to put in me the NICU incubator.
That's clever!
Holy shit! A Dream Team reference lol. I so went through a phase with that one when I was like 8....Shit I should watch that again lol. I loved that movie. (And this review of course, Thanks, Brad)
There's good stuff in there for sure, a shame it didn't get to be its own movie.
