Over at the horror site shocktillyoudrop.com column writer Alexandra West has written a very informative article about how love can be more damaging and deceitful rather than having everyone live happily ever after. The article covers three films: The Fly, Bram Stokers’ Dracula, and finally Clive Barker’s Hellraiser.
I totally agree with her assessment about Hellraiser and how Frank and Julia are the true monsters of the story. Both characters are selfish, manipulative, and totally evil. But that’s the love they share between one another, right or wrong. As Frank says in the movie,”We belong to each other now, for better, for worse, like love – only real.”
