Hunt for the Engineer and the Engineer will hunt you. Join PJ and Derek as they attempt to solve the grimy, guilt-ridden puzzle at the heart of a noir-influenced nightmare in Scott Derrickson’s Hellraiser: Inferno (2000). In this episode the guys follow corrupt detective Joseph Thorne through a hellish maze of murder, addiction, and self-destruction, while digging into the film’s surreal atmosphere, psychological horror, minimal use of Pinhead, and the surprisingly existential direction that helped redefine the series for the direct-to-video era. 📺
