This film fucking ruled. For being direct to dvd, it was AMAZING.
Straight up. I've seen them all. Saw the first one at age 9 in 94 and followed ever since. Yes I am in the crowd where the first two are galaxies above the rest. But inferno held me the entire time and I thought it rocked. For direct to dvd it was a huge welcome surprise.
Just finished watching Inferno. Was actually a decent movie. The lead actor held it together well and made it an engaging watch and definitely got the sense that the filmmakers cared about what they were making. Very surprising result and far better than Bloodline.
That’s the most accurate summary to all of the sequels after Bloodline: “this is not a Hellraiser movie”
Gotta pump out these shitty sequels to keep the rights to the IP.
This is honestly one of my favorite movies in the series. I love the neo noir vibe of it. Imo it’s a very underrated sequel.
I'm glad you feel this way cause I completely agree with you too!!
@@SlasherPepper I feel the same! I just watched it today and I was pleasantly surprised!
@@Starforsaken101 It’s a solid Hellraiser. Had they kept the deleted Pinhead footage in Deader, it would have turned out great. Inferno and Deader are the better 2 of the straight to video versions.
My favorite so far.
😂
I love Hellraiser: Inferno and overall it's my personal favorite in the series! The fact that Thorne was shown to be a piece of shit character from the beginning made it more tragic knowing that all his efforts for redemption were all in vain and doomed from the start. His ultimate fate was very terrifying, reliving the same moments over & over. My favorite scenes were at the end with Pinhead and the way Doug Bradley delivered those lines. That's the way I feel the character of Pinhead should be; less of a demon/slasher and more of a judge who reads off one's sins before they are ultimately sentenced to Hell.
Favorite? Bruh…
@@OriasX Yeah, it actually is. I was surprised myself by how much I liked it
@@hellybellyjim1927 you can’t be a hellraiser fan if inferno is your favorite because it doesn’t have almost anything to do with hellraiser🤷♂️
@@OriasX That's where you're wrong. I can be a fan of whatever I choose. You aren't Clive Barker or the Hell priest. You are not the arbiter of who is or isn't a fan of anything. I couldn't care less what you think about the film. Doesn't mean you know what is or isn't the best film. Come back after you've been ordained by the Clive Barker himself and maybe I'll take you opinion seriously.
@@OriasX by this logic, only the hellbound heart and hellraiser 1 have anything to do with "hellraiser" lol
Right when you did this Hellraiser movie review, Dead Meat did his first kill count on the Hellraiser franchise today. The first Hellraiser.
I noticed that
James became annoying but Cody’s always stayed cool
@@adamhoward5404 how did he become annoying?
@@adamhoward5404 James didn’t do anything like what????
@@adamhoward5404 No, he’s not
This one was a slow burn but i felt they really nailed the ending and that makes the movie. Its really deep and adds to the lore of the franchise in a really meaningful way. That said they could have made it a little more fast paced.
I dont think youre supposed to like the main character. Hes a bad guy getting just deserts.
Pinhead has more screen time in this than he did in the original. It is a little different but were 5 movies into the franchise so i dont think its awful that they did something different.
It was telegraphed a bit to much, we can agree there
I totally agree with this. The ending truly MADE this movie!
I said it before and I'll say it again ... My problem with the franchise is that there's too many "Hellraiser" movies that started as something else and had Pinhead literally tossed in as an afterthought.
The twins and torso cenobites were pretty cool at least.... and let's NOT forget the cowboy ninjas :)
I love the fact that Inferno takes a different direction. Yes, I could see the ending coming a mile away but I enjoyed the 'horrible' protagonist in the same sense as following Patrick Bateman. I think it does add to the mythology, especially relating to Hellbound (though not in an 'essential viewing' sorta way). I think the same about 'Hellseeker', but to a lesser extent.
This may be random but we need an Ash vs Leatherface movie called Dueling Chainsaws
Not gonna lie, I actually quite love this movie. I really enjoy the psychological torment the main character goes through and that torment does not always mean physical agonizing pain. I also like the story and pacing. It kept me really involved in what happens.
Pain has a face, allow me to show it to you.
**Smash cut to Cody watching this franchise.**
In 2 days, you reviewed a TV Show Season & a movie with 2 actors from One Tree Hill.
Dexter Season 8 with Bethany Joy Lenz
Hellraiser: Inferno (2000) with Craig Sheffer
Bruh, Inferno is my favorite! I love the psychological aspect-it’s the greatest Silent Hill movie never made lol. I think it’s so scary and fun. Can’t believe the fans hate this one so much.
Actually a lot of fans like it, which I'm glad about, I'm devastated that Cody isn't one of them :(
No reason to be devastated...this entire franchise is not for me.
@@CodyLeachYT honestly, it isn't for me either, but this one's always been my favourite, but again, i understand, to each their own.
@@CodyLeachYT Fair enough. I’m not much a fan of this franchise, either hahah.
@@my3rs307 Glad to hear you love it, too, pal!
My second favourite after hellbound
I met James Remar at a sunglasses shop in New Orleans many years ago! He told me he was filming a movie with Jamie Foxx and Leornardo Dicaprio (Djangi Unchained). Super friendly guy, spent a good while just talking movies with me.
James Remar is a fantastic actor, I was watching The Movies that made us on Netflix and found out he was supposed to play Hicks in Aliens and actually did until he got fired for drug use and then James Cameron brought in Michael Bien.
4:22: and by so many, it’s actually every direct-to-video Hellraiser except Revelations, just so the studio could keep the rights. Though Revelations was Hellraiser from the word go, the budget was so tiny, Doug Bradley skipped it. Supposedly, Judgement also started out as a Hellraiser, but the director took a bunch of ideas he made for a kickstarter movie, and just turned them into a Hellraiser script.
I think there’s one big thing you missed and that it was called Inferno. The theme of Dante’s Inferno and the different layers of Hell plague the Detective through the entire movie and this is one of the few times we really get to see someone trapped in their own Hell. I thought it was a ballsy choice to reinvent your story and honestly, through five movies…I feel like this is one of the most memorable of the stories. You’re meant to hate the Detective and in the end he hates himself as well as he’s constantly trapped in a prison he created himself. With that being said, plenty of negatives where I’d add much more “carnage candy” and the sexual aspect we’ve come to know from this series but you can not overlook the underlying parallel to Dante’s Inferno, that’s a huge mistake.
SAVE YOURSELF. STOP THE TORTURE. Don’t do them all. Your brain will hurt from the stupidity to come.
aww man :( this is one of my favorites Hellraiser movies and one of my favorite movies in general. I get why people don't like it I guess lol.
Its not one of my favs, but i dig it. You arent alone friend :)
Same!!!
I think the first half is pretty good. The final act ruins it
Same
Think about it. Joseph was already in hell. He opened the box, the Cenobites came, and took him to hell. Hellraiser Inferno was basically about what happens to some ppl after they open the box and get taken to hell by the Cenobites. Joseph was in his own personal hell that he created for himself. Pinhead basically said this towards the end of the movie. "All the ppl you hurt, all the appetites you indulged in, You are your own King." Meaning he created his own hell by the life he lived. Joseph was the one who didn't realize he was in hell.
i love inferno :)
Really enjoy your Hellraiser retrospective - thanks for doing it.
As a fellow Horror TH-cam Creator who also wants to make it fulltime at some point, I wanted to ask you if you have any tipps on how to keep on going on with TH-cam without being focused too much "on the dream". Im pretty sure you know how hard it is to go to your mainjob, when all you would like to do is do TH-cam. Its just amazing to see that you get to life your dream. Its just so hard to make enough money on here with a smaller following.
Just do things you enjoy but pay attention to what works and what doesn't. Try your best to make what you enjoy the content that succeeds.
Scott Derrickson did Good Job with Hellraiser Inferno, Including his Good Films Deliver Us From Evil, Sinister 1 & 2, Doctor Strange, Exorcism Of Emily Rose, And Day The Earth Stood Still Remake
My prayers are with you Cody from here on out. Your Soul will be torn apart by the end of this franchise. As a fan of the first four I think the rest are a spitball in the face of Hellraiser fans like myself. But great review. Always enjoy the content.✌
U didn’t like judgement ?
@@jonn3041 i thought judgement was great its probably the best since 3 or 4. Wish we'd get to see how he comes back from that :/
Curious why you think this was a spitball in our faces?
@@jonn3041 No. Honestly. Good for Gary for finally getting to direct a Hellraiser film, but it's still a poorly made and cheap Hellraiser film.
@@AmericanGadfly Well, for me I'm a big supporter of creator's and their vision. That said Hellraiser 5-10 were not made in good taste. They were not true to Clive's original vision. They were cheaply made and pump out just to keep the rights. So yes to a Hellraiser fan like myself they were a spitball to my face. They completely destroyed what was otherwise a very Elegant and different type of horror film. So I have no respect for that. Much like my thoughts on Halloween 4 all the way through RZ Halloweens. Same thing. The lack of effort to maintain John Carpenters original vision is just utterly disappointing and frustrating.
Craig Sheffer is from my hometown (York, PA). My high school drama teacher had him as a student. She had a framed and autographed headshot of him on the wall in her classroom.
Lol the thumbnail says it all haha
I’m honestly excited to hear what u think about judgement
There is 1 more ranking video you should do. You have done Michael Myers, and the thing that is most iconic about him, his masks. Why not Rank the most iconic thing about your favorite killer, and mine too, Freddy’s GLOVE. there are many to look at.
James Remar gave a fantastic performance as 'Ganz' in : 48 HRS (1982)
We literally get Pinhead in the epilogue of the film! I remember seeing this when it had just come out, being completely stupefied by the lack of anything remotely HellRaiser-ish.
I have to admit, this one is a guilty pleasure of mine. I like the effects and story and it’s awesome that James Remer is in here because he’s one of my favorite character actors.
That being said as a Denver native, it cracks me up that in some scenes you can see palm trees in the background lol I think it’s in the ice cream truck scene?
although Scott Derrickson said multiple times this was made as a hellraiser film he just pitched it as something being very different.
Based on who the director is, this feels like the closest we'll get to that Doctor Strange episode of What If being adapted to the big screen.
Inferno is actually one of my favorite Hellraiser movies. 🤷♂️
"Hard-boiled, morally questionable, unlikable cop/law enforcement person is given the Lament configuration to teach them a lesson" is unfortunately most entries past Bloodlines, and most are not good.
Not just my favourite movie from the franchise, but my all time favourite movie. Also loved the main lead character, it's okay to be grey man.
I can't believe you keep trucking on, God Bless ya, the drive! I watched all 10 in 9 days a few months ago cause I was in the mood for a new horror franchise and by the end only got it done so fast to be done with it. First was pretty good, 3rd is bad but watchable, and out of everything else I actually thought this was the best one. Sort of kinda reminded me of Silent Hill. Obviously not great at all though and boy that protagonist is something.
Good luck with the rest of the franchise!
I didn't see the last 3 of them yet, but THIS one is actually my favorite Hellraiser movie of the rest. The reason for that though, was that I considered it the best "Silent Hill" movie we had for quite some time. Does that make it a bad Hellraiser movie? Maybe... but I still love the movie.
James Remar is by far one of the coolest actors. I, too like the guy and it would be awesome to meet him someday
I still say, even thought this was clearly a "Spec Script" sequel, "Inferno" is still my favorite of the sequels. (Aside from "Hellbound", but that's obvious) Has it's flaws, but I enjoy the idea of Pinhead being more of a judge type and having that epic monologue at the end, the gore being cutback/offscreen, the mood and lighting, the acting for sure, Scott Derrickson's direction, and it makes for a far better "Silent Hill" film than the two we actually got. Again, flawed (Some visual effects and that weird sound Craig Sheffer made when his family died for examples), but i'd still consider it my favorite sequel in the series.
It was actually NOT a spec script. Scott Derrickson spoke out on this himself! I thought it was a spec script first too.
@@SlasherPepper oh my god, I just got "Actually'd"! XD Still, can you blame that mindset? XD
@@MutaScale No not at all. Scott Derrickson Tweeted it to one of my friends a couple years ago and it's almost hard to believe him!
I can’t watch any of them past Bloodline. I love the first Hellraiser, easily my favorite horror movie, and the ones after bloodline are so awful and boring that I choose to disregard them.
I loved the first three enough so I started watching the rest. I got through a few more before I realized… oh, these aren’t getting any better. Now I don’t have to, thanks man!
You're doing the (dark) lord's work. I've never made it past III.
Fun fact James remar was originally cast as corporal hicks in aliens. Was replaced by Michael bien .
This one adds a bunch to the lore, you get to see how pinhead tortures the people (at least some of them) he takes back. Thats huge. Not sure why you didnt think it added to the lore
They already established in Hellbound that each person has their own Hell, there’s no need to explicitly show one form of torture. So in a way, it really isn’t adding to the lore.
@@tylerjohnson8046 yeah but this really lays it out what this means. Like in hellbound you hear them talk about it and if you went off just what you see it looks kind of tame compared to this. This was deep psychological torture in addition to physical. You get to see how pinhead works when hes not dragging people to hell.
This was the first Hellraiser movie I’ve ever seen. Thought it was ok and different, compared to some. I’m glad you’ve said it seemed like Jacob’s Ladder. One of my fav films, even though it kinda freaked me out
I remember renting this from blockbuster video. For what it was. It wasn't horrible. But the Hellraiser movie everyone wanted it to be. It certainly wasn't . I don't understand how someone could screw up a horror franchise so badly. Pinhead is a horror icon and has been used completely wrong
From here on, we're getting into direct-to-video territory with the franchise.
I started the movies from the beginning. I’m
On Inferno now.
There's some goofy moments but it's really a decent movie. Needed a bit more Pinhead and you could have tossed aside the Kung Fu dudes.
Absolutely loving these man! You ever play dead by daylight? They recently added pinhead.
Do you hate Cody? Dont get him addicted to this awful that i cant stop playing and am loading into right now 😂
I had this on Vhs back in the day.. I always liked this movie.
Absolutely the same here!!!
This is my favorite Hellraiser of the franchise
Been watching this series started at 1 just finished 5. This movie turned out a lot better than I expected.
"Fucking guy with his oranges!" 🤣🤣🤣
I absolutely love James Remar!
Another great video Cody!when are you going to review the evil dead franchise?
I always loved this one... I liked how you compared it to Jacob's Ladder : for me it is a more casual/visual/less boring Jacob's Ladder :D
Probably the best out of the DTV movies, not bad & great ending but still nowhere near the standards of Hellraiser 1 & 3.
Great review Cody, a fair balanced summary of the movie.
You wait till you see Hellraiser Revelations I predict a "fuck this movie".
This movie was very good. I like it more than bloodline for sure. great Silent Hill like story as well
Yup. I am one of those that really enjoyed the psychological / mystery direction on display here. It's clear it didn't start out as a Hellraiser movie but in retrospect the 'off-sense', the dark brooding mood, the visuals and the great 'other side' of pinhead and lore make this a very enjoyable watch for me. Like said - they can take this franchise in a million directions - from body horror to psychological tales and it could work. This was the last one I really enjoyed though. Except for maybe the most recent one and bits & bobs in other movies.
On point. However, I´ll say that Hellraiser plays better as intimate tales like 1. And that´s what it was trying to do.
If you read a Hellraiser comic is basically the same thing as Inferno. In fact, most times Pinhead doesn´t show up. Just a random cenobite. As it tells a personal story and how it ties to Hell/Pinhead himself.
.
@@justicierodelaliga I agree totally. I do own a lot of the comics and the main thing about Hellraiser are the various interpretations of suffering, temptation, wickedness, regret, hell and how they are dealt with by either Pinhead or the Cenobites. (especially the older, classic ones). Not neccesarily recurring characters. If you take that into consideration Inferno succeeds really well. Also why I am looking forward to both a movie reboot and series.
Great video mate merry Christmas and a happy new year 🎅🤶🧑🎄🎄👼⛄☃️🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I liked this one. One of my favorites. I like the psychological theme of it.
I love this movie it has that silent hill vibe and the weird shit happening around the main character, just a perfect mystery movie for me..
The movie would've been better if it hadn't been marketed as a hellraiser movie. Scott Derricksen did a great job with what was given to him. Craig Sheffer is a decent actor- he's great in Nightbreed, a River Runs Through it, and Fire in the Sky.
There will be no Uncle Keith blasphemy here. iykyk
I actually liked this movie a lot. I thought it was very different with a good twist. The character Joseph Thorn was not likable but it was awesome to see the hell pinhead gave him. The cenobites were cool and I enjoyed how trippy this movie was. The fact I didn't like Joseph made me enjoy the movie a bit more. When Pinhead says to him welcome to hell it just hit the spot for me. Cause if you know Hellraiser you know once dude opens the box it was over for him from there. I really enjoyed this movie
This movie scared me as a kid and i loved it this movie is pineheads everyday life in our world ... 1 2 and 3 was the lucky 1s possibly, most likely the main character died in the beginning...
Where do you get your shirts from?
Lol “he looks like he has to take a shit the whole time” gold Cody, gold. Imagine him & Hoffman paired together in a movie. It would be a shit face contest.
I like this one. It's better than 2,3,4.
10 to 20 minute reveiw it's okay to great... Under 10 minute reveiw it's not good to trash, thanks for the content can't wait for the ranking of the franchise!!!
Not quite. Just depends how much there is to discuss. Some of my longer reviews are me bitching for 30 minutes. Lol
I like the fact there was nothing likable about him I felt like the movie was him coming to the realization he started out as an innocent child the way we all do but throughout life he kept becoming a little bit more cold a little bit more unfeeling till finally coming to the realization he's no longer the guy who goes after the bad guys he is one of the bad guys I'm not a huge fan of the movie but I do find the premise interesting
"Fukn guy with his oranges"
😆🤣😂
Let’s be honest, the best thing that Cody ever did was go full time on TH-cam 👍
Its my Favorite Hellraiser movie tbh, i love detective murder mystery stuff but i do understand the criticisms
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call Hell
Utterly bizarre movie, but it's actually my second favorite in the franchise, after the original.
I'm watching through all of them for the first time (beyond the first one anyway) and with this one I thought the scene where he first encounters the demons/cenobites was really cool and memorable, and the wheelchair man in the hospital was cool and interesting, beyond that it was less than great. But it's not completely without merit.
It would be 16 years, before Scott Derrickson would a Marvel Film Doctor Strange.
Inferno was sooooooo good! No....great!
If I'm not mistaken Kristen from the first two hellraisers is in the next one, not that it makes the movie any better. When pinhead and the cenobites promised they had such sights of pain to show us, do you think they were referring to the last half of this franchise?
The only thing worth noting from this movie is Scott Derrickson's directorial debut.
I don’t know why but I like this movie I liked the visuals and I think it’s a decent movie
Lol. "Fucking guy with his oranges."
I really iked this movie. Very underrated
You're a good man for watching all these movies so I don't have to! I think I've seen three of them and I only really like the first one.
I like all that have Doug Bradley 😎 ALTHOUGH.. Inferno etc. TRULY aren't Hellraiser movies.
Hellraiser inferno in my opinion is one of the more better
I dig this one! I'd rank this one probably 4th out of the 10 for me.
I have it on VHS.
Hey man please do a review on the fly 1986 with Jeff Goldblum I’d love to know your opinions
Yo Cody where do you get these sick tees?
Cody Cody noooooooooooo no more
This was the last movie that was written as a hellraiser movie. It was a concept by Clive but in the end scott pulled 60% of the script out and added more detectve story and because of that Clive ripped his name off it and walked from the series. And judgement was always a hellraier movie. I love 1,2 3 and 4 more but its death for u from here on in
I just rewatched the Dracula 2000 trilogy (the first is really fun) but the main dude in this is In part 2 an yeah he's crap I that as well.
I loved this one. My favorite of them. Although I think the franchise as a whole stinks. Good video man!
This one always reminds me of Angel Heart.
