Wicked Horror’s Ten Best Films from Clive Barker…
Over at the site Wicked Horror they’ve compiled a list of the ten best horror films to come from the mind of Clive Barker. I agree with most of it but I’m not sure if the film adaptation of Dread deserves to be on there? I’ve never seen the film because I’ve been told by close friends to stay away from it. Supposedly it doesn’t do the short story justice and is a bad film overall. So I’ve never bothered with watching it but maybe over the holidays when I have the extra time I’ll give it a shot. I personally think Hellbound: Hellraiser II should’ve been on there but that’s just me. He did come up with the story for that film so it could’ve been added. But overall I’d say their list is 99.9% right on the money.
Here’s a link to the article: http://www.wickedhorror.com/top-horror-lists/ten-best-films-mind-clive-barker/
Hellbound and Candyman 2 should be on there somewhere…Rawhead Rex should be on the list before Dread. At least ol’ Rawhead was just a product of budget constraints and direction. The maker of Dread went out of his way to anger me.
You should read the script the maker of Dread wrote for The Damnation Game. Talk about being angered!!! I couldn’t eve finish it. I had to stop when The Razor Eater ran a car lot. And I agree about Candyman 2 as well.
Hey, Guys-
Thanks for sharing. Appreciate it. We have some other Barker related stuff on the site if you ever want to check it out – like Hellraiser trivia and also have a Hellraiser retrospective going live in the next few days. Thanks again.
