The cenobite is such a good character for her to come face to face with. He's so calm and genuinely interested in seeing her react to the situation. I like the idea of a terrifying entity that bears no real ill will towards his victims but knows that they are all there to play a role.

[@tonoornottono]

i had the same thought. the cenobite is probably the only monster that could have reflected her reaction like that. he shows her the sphere almost to see if she’ll put the pieces together. i really like that.

[@caffeineandsleepingpills]

And if they had used this guy as the villain for another Hellraiser movie, it probably still would have been better than any of the hot vomit they poured out after the first Hellraiser.

[@Resi1ience]

It's so incredibly subtle, but he almost looks like he pities her. He's a discount cenobite, and cenobites are lords and masters of suffering. But the suffering she's going through even seems to make him feel a little sorry for her.

[@Brickman430]

@@tonoornottono Sorry, what is that sphere and what does it mean when he shows it to her

[@tonoornottono]

@@Brickman430 it’s supposed to be the Lament Configuration, which is a puzzle cube in the movie hellraiser that summons the cenobites when it is solved. but she doesn’t have that context. instead, she just recognizes the sphere from earlier when they were exploring the basement. she connects the significance of the object to the cenobite in front of her, realizing that if they had instead chosen to focus on this sphere they would have had to fight the cenobite, instead of the redneck zombies or whatever they end up fighting because of the object they chose. basically he’s just showing it to her to say, “you could have been dealing with me instead,” but as a viewer we also recognize him as a reference to hellraiser, and we recognize the sphere as a reference to the lament configuration. but those references are purely aesthetic- he could have been another monster and the meaning she takes from the exchange would be basically the same. the cenobite is just a very good monster to confront when you want an indifferent backboard to bounce a character’s dramatic realization off.

[@mtpstv94]

This movie started off as just another low budget low effort movie and then it surprises the hell out of you.

[@jimmygadd]

Yeah this movie is underrated

[@fjccommish]

It was awful.

[@SouthJerseySam]

If you look closely near the end of the clip, you'll see some of the Special Infected from Left 4 Dead in the elevators; Witch, Hunter, Tank, Boomer. This was because there were plans for a DLC tie-in for the game based around the movie, but MGM cancelled the idea over financial issues but Valve still let them use their zombies for the scene.

[@thedog5k]

hah! I didn't notice I was just about to say I'm surprised valve was gonna do something with l4d2 again But omg its been 10 years????

[@robotzombie4754]

Really?

[@raegenarmer2351]

That would’ve been so cool 😢 I can’t believe we never got to see more of that I loved L4D2 growing up

[@deloreandmc88]

I also noticed the giant scorpion, which could be a reference to Fallout 3's giant Radscorpions.

[@ROFLproductionsCORP]

I think you can even hear the witch cry for a second as it passes her box. Before the clowns laugh. But I can`t find the hunter.

[@WarrenPace]

That ghost said help me. And ‘no, don’t go’

[@emani40]

That’s a Wraith!

[@cxireen2193]

That's a demon actually. Like any demon, they are of deceiving nature and it is trying to exploit their sympathy on it hoping they will help set it free so that it can possess a child.

[@TheQuaadFather]

The moment this went from "standard horror movie" to "SCP movie"

[@wheelmanstan]

It's finally a horror film that actually should have been longer. Felt rushed to the point it became an action film. They coulda had a lot more fun when things first kicked off and really built up the scares.

[@parkhae-il9211]

I agree, the ending was too rushed. Like what, a giant hand is going to end the world oh no....

[@wheelmanstan]

@@parkhae-il9211 I think it should have released a gas to bring all the dead to life, so people start crawling out the ground, straight up return of the living dead style, silly 80's music and all, and we see that go on for about 10 minutes..and she eventually finds her way out, a zombies world will always be the ultimate horror, "this is the end" was pretty cool with the demon gods walking around though, heck maybe it's a sequel to this?

They run out of money. It was released years after it was filmed caused the didn't have money to finish the editing.

This was the best section of the movie, the end section is where we wanted to be and more exploration was needed.

Hmmm... I seem to recall another horror movie franchise that involved cenobites... 😉 I guess it's not copyright infringement to rip-off Clive Barker and "Hellraiser."

[@CarolDowning-lm7fm]

​@@thatvikingtemperthere's been a couple, Necromencia I believe is the title, really rips off .

[@hadesgodoftheunderworld0181]

The Cenobite is probably one of the most powerful entities in the facility. It’s a miracle they even have it locked away somehow.

[@VisionQuest057]

Makes me wonder if it's not so much "locked away" as just sort of _volunteering_ to hang out in the facility since time and patience are presumably not limitations for Cenobites and it receives a guaranteed endless stream of new victims practically drip-fed to it by the scientists. I mean it doesn't even look like it's _trying_ to escape or anything, it's just patiently standing there with its evil puzzle-orb like, "Oh hey there... Wanna feel something really cool?" lol

[@barneymcwhat6241]

Fornicus, Lord of Bondage and Pain, according to the credits.

It really sucks we never got the full Left for Dead collab. For those who didn't know if you pause at 4:45 you can see the boomer from L4D2. It was supposed to be part of a collab where all the special infected appeared in this movie and the game would have dlc based off the movie but it was scrapped.

In the mpvie its explained they are all gifts from the dark gods they worship. Nightmares from the old world before they slumbered. This is why they cant even kind of handle the mass purge. They can barley control these things and can't really contain them if they get completely loose. We never see how they get them back in the box after they're let out.

​@FACF0416 He had his own puzzle though, he may be pinhead's equivalent or even superior. Leviathan has done similar things that we know of.
