Beyond the Limits: The Believer

For this edition of Beyond the Limits I’ll be talking about the painting entitled, The Believer. Once again I can’t stress enough how Clive’s artwork lets the viewer  become a part of it. You’ll probably get sick of me saying that, but it’s the truth. I’ve never looked at any other...READ MORE...

Review: Nightbreed: The Director’s Cut

This review for The Nightbreed Director’s Cut is going to be a very personal one for me. My feelings on the situation go beyond the movie itself. Honestly, I never thought I’d live to see Clive Barker’s true version of the film. My heart told me it wouldn’t happen, and...READ MORE...

Tuesday Tunes: Lord of Illusions Live Performace

Retro Review: Hellraiser: Bloodline Workprint Review

“Welcome to oblivion.” – Paul Merchant For this Retro Review I’ll be talking about the leaked workprint of Hellraiser: Bloodline, which in many ways is much better than the released version, but is still miles away from what filmmakers originally had in mind. Before I begin my review though, I’d...READ MORE...

Tuesday Tunes: Rawhead by Pro-Pain

Back some time in the early ’90’s, my local record store, Bubble Records was giving away free cd’s with your purchase.  I bought something (probably King a Diamond or Venom) and they threw a CD in my bag with it.  What I got was “Pro-Pain: The Foul Taste of Freedom” And...READ MORE...

Retro Review: Hellraiser: Bloodline

Whenever I watch Hellraiser: Bloodline I can’t help but feel a sense of loss. Not for myself, but for the makers of the movie. After the series went a little bit off the rails with Hell On Earth, the filmmakers were adamant to make a better movie that rose above...READ MORE...

Retro Review: Hellraiser III: Hell On Earth

For some reason when it comes to third films in a franchise that’s usually when a series starts to fall apart. Fresh ideas begin to run out and the films become very repetitive. Thankfully this never happened to the Hellraiser franchise and even though I may not have enjoyed a...READ MORE...

Retro Review: Hellbound: Hellraiser II

It’s rare to see a sequel top the original film that spawned it, but Hellbound: Hellraiser II does just that. Many sequels usually don’t take chances and play it safe. A lot of the time they want to mirror what made the original work so well, but never bring anything...READ MORE...

Review – Leviathan: The Story of Hellraiser (Disc 1)

First, let me start out by saying this is a 3-disc set, of which the disc I’m reviewing has a running time of 4 hours 37 minutes!  I didn’t even know a DVD could be that long without swapping discs.  Peter Jackson, take note! It’s a whole new world of...READ MORE...

Double Retro Review: Hellraiser and Lord of Illusions

After recently finishing The Scarlet Gospels I had a strong yearning to watch both the original Hellraiser and Lord of Illusions. I guess I need Harry and Pinhead in my life right now.
