Mixed Review

Okay, Halloween-heads and Michael Myers ... enjoyers! Three years after our autopsy of the Halloween series, we're back with the first of two addendums: Halloween Kills.

On this day, we celebrate Tom Hanks by viewing His scripture, Turner & Hooch, a movie in which He befriends an ugly dog and shoots people in a warehouse. Amen.

With our take on Gary J. Tunnicliffe's Hellraiser: Judgement, we say goodbye to a franchise that spanned space, time, heaven, hell, and the supermarket dollar DVD bin.

Six years after the release of Hellraiser: Hellworld, Dimension's Bob Weinstein discovered that the studio was about to lose the rights to the property. In three weeks, a skeleton crew of nobodies put together Hellraiser: Revelations, an ashcan copy for the ages.

In Hellraiser: Bloodline, Pinhead goes to space. In Hellraiser: Hellworld, Pinhead goes to ... cyberspace. Katheryn Winnick, Henry Cavill, and Lance Henriksen star in what is best described as "the eighth Hellraiser movie."

The Hellraiser series continues with a trip to Romania, where scream queen Kari Wuhrer opens the puzzle box, reducing her existence to a series of dream sequences and hallucinations ... and it spells doom for her character, too!

We return from sabbatical to discuss the sixth Pinhead movie and compare refrigerator prices.

The Hellraiser series goes straight to home video with this Scott Derrickson thriller hastily rewritten as a Cenobite vehicle. Pinhead is back, and so are his inane speeches, in this twisting turning fever dream of garbage. Burn on!

We've been to hell and back. Now, we journey onwards to .. SPACE! And 18th century Paris. And also 1996? Adam Scott stars, Alan Smithee directs, and we wonder why any of it happened in the first place.

Set in New York City and filmed almost entirely in Greensboro, North Carolina, this second sequel earns its place in the history books for introducing audiences to "CD Cenobite" and "Camerahead Cenobite." We're still waiting for the Happy Meal cross-promotion.
