ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

wolfwoman-98452 What can I say I 🖤 this, anyone that is a Hellraiser fan you are going to love this, I love how it shows you how they made Hellraiser 1,2 and 3 and what everyone's roll in making it, I'm not going to give any of it away but trust me this is a must buy for your collection it's well worth having.

natwebber It's an exhausting but execellent documentary of extreme pleasures. Its a well made, in depth discussion of the first film, Hellbound , and also the series as a whole.This documentary has moments of surprising creativity and insight to all aspects of the film making process behind the films, It covers all details so intricately like the design of the Lament Configuration and the cenobites.Overall the package from Dead Mouse Productions is sumptuous and will take any horror fans days to get through.It satisfies the fan in me to such a degree that i can't think of anything more to say other just track.down this documemtary on DVD or blu ray.

Kevin Enfield It's the best companion piece to the Hellraiser series you could possibly ask for. Buy it at whatever price they're asking for! There's just so much involvement here that it can be almost exhaustive.I recommend chunking this up- not because it's boring, but because it can be so much information that it's best swallowed in smaller pieces. I know that if you're anything like me, that's a fool's request and you'll binge-watch the whole thing and that's fine.. but know that everything about Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II is examined in such great detail. Remember when practical effects were king, before this CGI stuff? Oh yeah, it's here,it covers it all, everything. There's really nothing more I can say about this documentary. It's just exhaustive, pulls no punches, and offers tons of new material and insight. This review can be summed up fairly quickly- do you like the Hellraiser films? Buy this now.

bazmitch23 I saw this documentary online.Now, I don't know how long this whole doc actually lasts for, but the video I watched lasted for 4 and a half hours. And it only covered the first film. Four hours focusing on ONE film. Whose stupid idea was that?The Nightmare on Elm Street documentary "Never Sleep Again" was 4 hours long. But that doc worked because they covered all 8 films. Most documentaries about the making of films should last for either an hour or two. But 4 hours is just unacceptable. Who'd want to sit through all that?This is why we have a little thing called EDITING for the love of Frank! (yeah, that was a pun!)The 30 minute documentary on the "Hellraiser" DVD was good because it was short and simple. Here, we have a 10 minute focus on Clive Barker and "what a real genius" he is. We have another 10 minute focus on how great Andrew Robinson is, another 10 minutes explaining how great Claire Higgins is, another 10 on how great Ashley Laurence is and another 10 explaining how great Doug Bradley....... UGH!!! I DON'T CARE! I HATE ASSKISSING!And the pacing of this doc is so slow and there's barely any behind the scenes footage, so it is mostly people talking, which makes it even more mind numbingly boring.However, there are some interesting things I have learned from this doc:.Doug Bradley was really nervous when he said the line "We want the man who did this" because it was his first day.. Clive Barker called the goop "Elephant cum".. Condoms were used for the latex in the special effects make up. Technicians got strange looks from the shop keepers when buying boxes of condoms.. Clive Barker is obsessed with skinless bodies. He is scared of them and can write them so well. He probably gets off on them.. For Skinless Frank, Clive Barker and Bob Keen went see an autopsy. The body was being skinned alive and Bob vomited. Clive was disappointed because he thought it look like bacon strips put on him.. Tony Randel directed some scenes in the first film, such as the reshoot of the Cenobites in the hospital and the shot of Frank's heart pumping under the floorboards. I think he also directed the resurrection of Frank.. And the actress playing the female Cenobite (who was Clive Barker's cousin, by the way) hated being in the make up so much, she turned down Hellraiser 2.But as for the rest of the doc, yawn!And to think I was going to order this from the net. And be bored out of my mind? I don't think so.I'm beginning why Clive Barker and Ashley Laurence didn't take part in this doc. They knew it was gonna suck!The South Bank special on Clive Barker and Ashley Laurence's interview on the Blu-ray are better than this!
