Grandma's Boy (2006)
ALMOST good enough to be a crappy teen movie
this movie has NO plot. it was SUPPOSED to be that a guy moves in with his grandma, and everyone thinks hes a loser and he has to redeem himself. but what happens after everyone finds out who he's living with? they have a big pot party at grandma's house. the climax of the movie didn't even relate to the rest of it. that whole plot was introduced within minutes of the movie's end. i can see how it COULD have related to the supposed story - that Grandma's VG skills redeem him - but that just wasn't there.
However, the movie was funny as hell and clearly relied heavily on the jokes.
"Her pussy smells like the great depression" "He just sucked his first titty...yeah for 13 hours" "It's for you...i think it's the Devil"
Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005)
Jesus Christ, this movie is the biggest torture of all
I am only five minutes and ten into the movie, and I felt compelled to pause and complain about this. Already, the over-dramatic dialogue and stereotypical group of teens makes for an hour and a half of teen-horror crap. The funeral scene implies a whopping body count of ...1! Now i haven't actually seen it yet, so i don't know. When sci-fi/modern technology mixes with horror, when has it EVER been good? i.e. Halloweeen: Resurrection with webcams, Jason X in the future, a 3-D Nightmare on Elm Street, and now Pinhead in cyberspace? All this time, I'm wondering how could Doug Bradley possibly agree to do these types of movies? With the exception of Inferno, the direct-to-DVD sequels were cinematic crap; even Disney has the sense to stop making DVD sequels to good movies after 1. Hellraiser needs a revival, a rejuvenation, a return to the big screen. They did it for Batman, they're doing it for Superman, and they sure as hell can do it for everybody's favorite cenobite.
Hellraiser: Inferno (2000)
Weird...very weird
This movie was quite possibly the best psychological thriller I have ever seen. The dirty cop living in his own personal Hell was a creepy and interesting plot. The way reality kept shifting and changing was a very scary idea indeed. However, the movie was not perfect: it would have been better off outside of the Hellraiser series, as the only real connection to the rest of the movies was the Lament Configuration (which seems to have changed its purpose from movie to movie.) The fact that Pinhead was in the movie for a total of about nine seconds proves my point. Great, great movie, but not perfect. At least it's better than Bloodline and still manages to stay more coherent than Hellbound.
Hellraiser: Bloodline (1996)
Implausible and pointless
This movie, although not as brutally horrible as Hellbound, certainly wasn't horror movie gold. At least it had a semi-coherent plot this time. It's implausible, though, that the "bloodline of toymakers" was never brought up or even discovered in the first three movies. Also, the movie would have been fine without the idiot from the future telling his story in a flashback. It could have just been the "modern day" John Merchant finding out about his bloodline, instead of Pinhead-in-ancient-France and Pinhead in Space in the same movie. The only reason this movie earned a 5/10 was the fact that Pinhead himself saved the movie from total cinematic crap...he's just too cool (even though he took backstage to a useless villain again like in Hellbound.) The Pinhead's death ending is implausible as well, considering there are four more movies after Bloodline. Also, Merchant's wife was beastly looking.
Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992)
Best Hellraiser movie I've seen
Wow. this movie was really really really amazing. Certainly better than Hellbound, and I'd even say better than the first one. This time, the story takes place in the real world, not some isolated house or a mental hospital...or Hell. Pinhead was redeemed in my eyes as a force to be reckoned with. Example: JP--"Jesus Christ!" Pinhead--"Not quite." Terry Farrell played a compelling heroine, but I'm also a star trek fan so i had to say that. Trivia in case anyone cares: Andrew Robinson from the first movie was in Star Trek Deep Space Nine with Terry Farrell for seven years. If you really want to get into the Hellraiser films, see the first one, skip hellbound and then watch this.
Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988)
This movie is...really bad?
this movie was a huge disappointment. i followed up after the first movie to see what direction the franchise took. unfortunately, this movie might have kept me from seeing the other sequels if i didn't already own them. it had no linear plot and a bunch of pointless characters, and diminished the character of Pinhead to the point where i actually said how much he sucked out loud. He wasn't even the main villain--the weird doctor was, with a random cameo from Julia on the side. also, tiffany and her little puzzle-solving ability was nothing but a completely unsolved subplot. this movie is really a mess. i'm glad they continued exploring his past in the next film, which i think was the best in the series the only upside is that ashley laurence is HOTT :)
Hellraiser (1987)
Just discovered Hellraiser, and voicing my opinion
Hey guys, I'm new to IMDb, but not to horror movies, which is probably why I didn't find Hellraiser the horror masterpiece that everyone claims it is. I do think it's good, but its not what I'm used to. i was raised on slashers like Hallowen and Friday the 13th, so the idea of an acupuncturist from Hell who's summoned by a demonic Rubix cube was weird. the only real reason i liked this movie and saw its sequels is because its completely different from anything I've ever seen before. you know, besides Candyman, another Clive Barker classic that was just weird. and this would be me filling up space so they let me post the comment that is ten lines long.
