Hellraiser Review

[@boblowes]

My drama teacher was the original female Cenonobite in the first Hellraiser. She's Clive Barker's cousin.

[@goddessofchaos7754]

That sounds freaking amazing!!

[@rocknroll20024]

That’s awesome

[@darrenyoung3102]

Aw wow I was disappointed that she didnt get to do hellbound. Grace kirby I think she was called

[@leondreamcast]

Fucking awesome

[@DistractedGlobeGuy]

Did you ever ask her how she reacted the first time her cousin asked her to put on a bunch of S&M gear to be in his movie?

[@NotAGoodUsername360]

I do love the fact that the Cenobites genuinely seem to think that they're bringing their victims to heaven and are genuinely confused when people DON'T want to be eternally tortured

[@nameredacted7622]

Psychological studies of torture victims have shown that continuous physical and mental torture can reach a point where neuroplasticity changes the interpretation of negative stimulus into positive stimulus. Pain into pleasure. Pleasure as intense as the pain they should be experiencing. This phenomena is well documented throughout history. The Inquisition claimed that those who began to feel pleasure from the torture were suffering from demonic possession. So Cenobites are not really lying when they say they will bring you to a new highs. It just might take a while of being tortured before you cum... around.

[@ericallen789]

Notagoodusername the cenobites have nothing to do with heaven or hell

[@zoazede2098]

Cenobites only offers pain and pleasure to whoever opens willingly the Charmand box, they only knows that if you wanted tí solve the puzzle box you are calling for them*

[@LetsRetry]

@@ericallen789 That's not what he was saying lol, he means cenobites think they are taking there victims to a place that they think would be considered heaven.

[@ericallen789]

@Rechordian ok. imma slow it down a bit,just for you there is NO DEVIL (or SATAN) in these stories have you seen Hellraiser 2? when they went to "hell"? was it fire and brimstone? NO. if anything,it was the exact opposite also, Cenobites are NOT DEMONS the original stories have nothing to do with the Christian idea of hell

[@bloop6111]

The fact that the chatterer is randomly wearing the bridal veil near the end makes me so happy. Like he found it and was like "oh that's cute," puts it on and resumes chasing Kirsty.

[@trevorhensley3185]

Unfortunately, I don't think it's his style.

[@tulsibeepat3453]

The homeless dude is a protector version of the Cenobites their purpose is to protect gateways to hell( graphic novel info)

[@tituslafrombois1164]

It's not hell

[@randalgraves6979]

That’s not Rob Zombie? 😳

[@movierocks5332]

I never understood how Frank’s voice changed when he was wearing Larry’s skin.

[@scms2528]

I really love this movie.i like how the cenobytes are in the background, making them even more scary. the shot of pinhead popping you behind Kristy saying "we have such sights to show you" really freaks me out.

[@DokkaChapman]

I do love how the low budget meant the locations used give the film an atmosphere and style like no other movie made at the time. Every room and design has a look that gives me the creeps, no idea why, but they make me uneasy.

[@benkenobi8328]

Damn I love Pinhead’s lines throughout pretty much the entire hellraiser series

[@christinawilkephillips7684]

The subtitles on this vid called you Becca shadow....lol

[@WinterSteele]

"Hellraiser" is one of my all-time favorite films.

[@MrXon]

20:21 Christy getting mandible claw from cenobite...wonder if this was Mick Foley's inspiration, as he wore a very similar glove (before socko)

[@alejandroperez-yy9ym]

Ohhh interesting take 🤔

[@AlloyNES]

Aww, you didn't mention "Jesus wept" moment.

[@miles2378]

That line was Gareks idea.

[@MikeHalk100]

"Oh no tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering." Ashley Laurence is quite the stunner these days! Wow!

[@MDMetal]

When I first saw this movie, it was in '95 on VHS and it took me a moment to realize that that was ELIM MF'N GARAK from DS9! LOL

[@Outlaw8908]

That and Scorpio from Dirty Harry 1.

[@marcfield1234]

The upside down scorpion tailed thing is called "The Engineer" A concept that was scrapped later.

[@TallSilentGuy]

10:46 The ultimate "It's not you - it's me" scenario.

[@lgcj09]

That was a really good in depth review! Good job Decker. I love the Hellraiser movies myself. Some of my favorite classics.

[@simian01]

That overly bright and clean bar was the Zen W3 restaurant on Hampstead High Street in London (it's now a Cote Brasserie and is not so overly bright).

[@danieldb631]

Wow, Decker. You almost did a spot-on Christopher Lee impression for a short bit.

actually its female,thats her canonical name. her fandom name is deepthroath which was left out of the film because there was a p0rn of the same name

[@bromodragone8405]

Ticci Toby I know but I think the name is fitting.

[@alexanderchippel]

Alucard, More Awesome Than Chuck Norris Not really. Maybe if they were really competitive.

[@53subscribersnovideos35]

Cutthroat would have been a badass name.

[@WeWereTheStorm]

Let's just say in the book it wasn't Franks blood mixing with the blood of his brother that revived him....

[@jennyn5692]

KnightsRadiant I'm guessing it's Frank's man juice? I really need to get around to reading that.

[@miles2378]

@@jennyn5692 Its a interesting book.

[@simonausmus]

Overly bright and clean bar.........sounds like an airport bar >.>

[@casinoroyalewcheese]

Simon Ausmus I always thought that too. Makes sense to pick up a random stranger there. Bartender sees random people constantly. Not many regulars.

[@3GFILMSINCORPORATED]

decker, your summer projects are just the best!:)

[@pearljam619]

I love your movie reviews! And you genuinely do have the coolest hair! Hellraiser is one of my all time favourite horror films. What are your top 5?

[@mikedlc9766]

when i was a kid and i first saw this movie I loved it

[@tHeRiNo2003]

The monster in the hell tunnels was called the engineer btw decker I looked it up for you :)

[@evawind3566]

Thank you for watching all of the Hellraiser movies. I knew after number 5 Inferno that the franchise was going downhill. Now I know I didn't miss anything and I got to get reacquainted with Pinhead again. :)

[@whos_this_character3912]

Your videos are great, especially the humor you put in. Have you considered a review for the Mummy? I bet you’d get a kick out of it

[@LondraCalibro9]

Great videos Decker - rewatching everything whilst I work - the summer of freddy vs jason is a youtube masterpiece!

[@BaronOfAnarchy]

Candyman VS. Pinhead, it needs to happen!

[@RedSpade37]

Decker, you are the best reviewer who does these kinds of reviews, bar none, and not only that, but you've been that for almost a decade; the whole time! Truly one of my favorites, across all genres!

[@jennyn5692]

How the hell did Julia end up on that bed? That's always really bugged me. She looked pretty damn dead after Frank was done with her.

[@miles2378]

Her hatred keeped her alive long enough to open it.

[@tsr-animations7798]

Aw yeah, a summer series xD Looking forward to see the rest Decker :) You're doing awesome reviews and they're funny as well :)

[@user-dr2yz8um3d]

Hellraiser officially turns 35! Still one of my favorite horror movies by Clive Barker, his directorial debut No idea it was based on a novella An eerie memorable score by Christopher Young, Doug Bradley does wonders playing the villainous Pinhead, and I love Ashley Laurence as Kirsty Expert makeup and gore effects too along the lines of David Cronenberg Explores the horrific boundaries between pleasure and pain Clumsily plotting aside it plays almost like a fever dream thanks to the editing It's also analyzes our collective fascination with and need for the pleasure of sex being tethered to either harrowing pain or new bodily discoveries one would think up while on an acid trip The film still has divided critics over time but it's the only good installment next to Hellraiser II All the other sequels have failed to match it I'm so glad I discovered the movie thanks to that Boogeyman compilation VHS Thankful another film is on its way to Hulu, I'm hoping it's good especially since Pinhead will be female this time

[@dreamwarrior1276]

Cool review, 3:23, chin macking! Oh, I see your playlist, you watched all 9? You have my respect and my condolences. I only have gotten to 6 so far.

[@Kem1kal13]

"Hammer time!" haha I died.

[@ARCHIEzzle]

That review was really helpful!

[@Blisterdude123]

I've seen people complain that the puzzle box is apparently too easy to solve, in the movies. But think about this for a second. If it was too difficult for the kind of morons you usually get in horror movies to solve, how are the Cenobites supposed to land any good victims? Maybe its supposed to be deceptively easy to trick idiots into solving it?

[@Outlaw8908]

“Oh... No tears please.. It’s a waste of good suffering.” Favorite quote.

[@mullahosk585]

Hellraiser is prob my fav horror films and this is my fav review of it! I love it

[@thema1998]

Last Thursday was the *6* year anniversary of when you uploaded "Hellraiser Review". 🤓 EDIT- 2:18 P.M.: *finishes episode 23 minutes later* The gore effects still look good in 2020. If only I can say the same about the special effects! 😅

[@oenomausHD]

Decker, would you believe I had an art show with Clive Barker in 1997. It was a group show with his black and white children's illustrations... I even read at the time he was talking with Disney about having a theme area based off this work in the park!!! nightmares for your children anyone? Great review.

[@jeremiaharmstrong5624]

Oenomaus The Disney part, now I wonder how different things would've been if they accepted Barker.

Bright bar, no car, nice suit - Julia's picking up business travelers at the airport.

[@daric_]

I watched this movie the first time last night. I kept staring at the guy who played Larry, thinking, "I know this guy...where the hell is he from?" Took me an entire day to realize he plays Garak, the Cardassian tailor from "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (actor's name is Andrew Robinson). Pretty weird.

[@tonylane941]

Didn't he also play the bad guy in the first Dirty Harry movie?

[@torquetheprisoner]

+Daric Soldar he was in the last house on the left as well

Much like opening the box to Sonic '06, only those seeking pain beyond their imagining open it.

[@Greenwood4727]

I always thought she picked up the men in an airport, travellers, that way they wouldnt be noticed as being missing for a few hours, and its a place where so many people are moving so it would be hard to track anyone down, if it was an airport that solves the brightness, and how she is dressed in "business" attire

“ stop, hammer time!! “

[@jeremiaharmstrong5624]

At the dinner scene, 4:41, I kinda like the part where Kristi's boyfriend seems to make her smile.💑 As the L8 gr8 Robin Williams said in "Aladdin", 'A woman appreciates a man who can make her laugh!'😀

[@Greenwood4727]

I think i posted this before but i think julia went to an airport bar. light, and people coming and going, and if one person vanishes you wouldnt know until they got to the other airport, then the men all look like salesmen, thats my theory of the lightbar

[@waynedaly100]

I remember I liked part one two and three, I had them on VHS back in the day, I edited them in to one long movie, never saw the other parts

[@LadySorrowIshana]

What kinda sound you looking for in some original credit's music? I have music making software and I dabble a bit, so I am sure I could come up with something if you really wanted me to try. I mean would you prefer something like rock, or electronic, or trance or dubsteb, I dunno... Just thought I'd ask. I'm not the best but my most recent stuff I have made (mainly in an electronic sorta sound to it) is under Adversity's Fire. I've also made some softer stuff in the past under a different name but I intend to rework it with my newer and better sounding software.

[@DeckerShado]

LadySorrowIshana Depending on the movie, I'd like the music to match pretty well with the subject matter. Nothing lyrical mind you, but just the feelings and the like.I've been working with Ichabod Todd for the credits music of my latest reviews, but it is hard to get the variety I'd like. (optimally, I'd want a new tune for every review, but that's not a realistic expectation.)

[@khornethebloodgod4155]

I agree with that joke about Sonic 06.

My favorite lines from this movie are probably the lines from the female cenobite leading up to "Time to play." And when Julia went for the hammer, I thought of the Beatles song, "Max's Silver Hammer."

You can see a wheeled structure or some sort pushing/carrying the monster in the hospital chase scene.

[@deborahlepage1789]

AFTER she wed Larry. The wedding gown being there to have sex on is not all that shocking or hard to locate. After the wedding, gowns are frequently cleaned and placed in a preserving box. The tone in Julia's voice of we're b "very happy." As viewers we kind of got a hint of when Larry was more interested in saying "Her mother's DEAD." Daddy is more interested in mentioning "her mother's dead" then backing a creepy mover off his daughter. Also just as believable that Frank never actually showed at the wedding. So, he matches any photos she's seen, and early pubescent Kirsty isn't home, so she seems to have been married to Larry long enough to understand that the widower is going to always love his dead wife way more than her. That was just what I always I perceived when I first saw it just before seeing part 2 in it's cinematic release. Like your reviews
