The Hellraiser Project: Hellraiser III
Geeks of Doom has up a great review of Hellraiser III. THey’ve got a project to watch all the Hellraiser’s and do a review of each one. This one is particularly funny and entertaining. Heres a little bit to warm you up:
Hellraiser is a slasher movie the same way Se7en is a slasher movie. They’re BOTH slasher movies, but they both earnestly tell us they’re not. Their directors tell us they’re not. Their fans tell us they’re not. So we kinda accept that they aren’t when it’s COMPLETELY FUCKING OBVIOUS they are. They’re slasher movies with raisins and cilantro in them. But Se7en is awesome because the characters are wonderful, the dialogue is great, and the acting is superb. Hellraiser, on the other hand…
Hellraiser III: Hell On Earth is a slasher movie the same way Friday the 13th is a slasher movie. It just IS and doesn’t pussyfoot or lie. It’s completely from commercial and wholly as advertised. Gee, honesty’s great.
But what isn’t great is the whole “sucking” thing. And while HR III does indeed suck loudly, it just doesn’t suck hard.
