Look, I am fully aware that the latest
cheapo Hellraiser sequel, HELLRAISER: REVELATIONS is an atrociously
bad film, that Doug Bradley refused to be a part of, that Clive
Barker has ranted about, that the horror community has torn to
pieces, but... I still want to see it. I can't help it. I've liked
seven of the nine there have been so far, disliked one and haven't
seen the new one, and while I agree the quality has plummeted ever
since the heights of Hellraiser II: Hellbound, I have a soft spot for
Cenobites.
I just know that no matter how much
people slag off Revelations (hell, I've been joining in after seeing
the woeful trailer), I'll end up slipping it into my player one day
and watching the whole thing. I can't not. I'm a sucker, and
Dimension know it. I guess, aside from my completist streak, that I'm
curious about it.
I'm curious to see just what a
Hellraiser movie which has been made solely to hold onto the license
is like. The tiny budget and laughable shooting schedule for the film
speaks volumes about the quality (or lack thereof), but if you'll
pardon the pun, I'm hooked. I think I'll watch it and then put the
original on immediately afterwards to make things all better again.
What's your pleasure, sir? Probably not Hellraiser: Revelations,
judging by the reaction of people so far...
