I watched all four of the newer films on netflix as a marathon deal, they ain't that bad, one of them was actually quite good actually. (the one with the guy and woman in the car that crashes into the river)

Did you see Revelations? It's atrocious but there is morbid enjoyment to be had (the disappearing cars is a doozy).

But the sad thing is, if they put a bit more time and polish into it, they could have made a decent Hellraiser sequel. The story feels more Hellraiser than the other sequels after Bloodlines (they were original scripts that had Pinhead shoehorned in), and there are some nice moments such as a bit where somebody thinks he has saved his family goes disastrously wrong. But, overall, it is wretched. Doug Bradley's replacement, bless him, is awful as Pinhead.

The funny thing is, my friend and I got a copy of Chuck Norris' Hellbound to wash away the sour taste left by Revelations. Somehow, Hellbound turned out to be worse.

I imagine it won't be a massive seller in the UK but I have a feeling it'll sell well in the US - bigger market, giallo, Martino & Fulci plus Edgar Allan Poe is better known and revered in the States.

Every 'mainstream' big seller that Arrow have - Videodrome, Hellraiser etc helps get the niche titles funded.

I'm surprised that no one that has ordered it from arrow has had a dispatch notice yet, as getting direct from arrow you get stuff earlier, hoping that it has not been delayed in some way

Hi just a quick question for all you Arrow Collectors.
Whilst watching Foxy Brown the other night I noticed a scene right at the end which had no audio and was skipping quite heavily. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem? When I say at the end, I mean literally after the credits.

Regards

Dan

I thought Bloodlines was decent enough: the origins of the box plus Pinhead's dog - what more could you want?

I honestly think the first section in France is great. I wish they expanded it into a feature of its own.

I always liked that part aswel, it was well put together, it really would be a great movie on it's own if they kept up that level of quality.

The fourth film and the rest of the movies after that are okay to play on a rainy day, the first three are the ones i enjoy the most, strangly enough it's the second film that i least like but most folks love it. i remember shelling out £20 for the VHS in a MVC store years ago for it. robbing bastar*s haha.

That's my opinion on the sequels too. Although, I adore Hellraiser 2. Almost prefer it to the first. Almost.

I met Doug Bradley many moons ago at a convention at st James's park, I am possibly the only person with a signed vhs copy of the killer tongue .
