Hellraiser: Inferno - The Cinema Snob 

"The Mullholland Drive pilot if it was picked up by the USA network." That earned this video a like.

I remember watching the first four "Hellraiser"s and thinking, "These need more karate-kicking cowboys."

Poor Pinhead not only has he pins in his head, he also has a Thorne in his side. Thank you i will see myself out.

Thank you for the Twin Peaks reference.

Snob's line "No time for dead hookers" almost made me piss myself :)

I've always thought this movie kind of stumbled on a great angle to portray the concept that once you open the box, it's over. You belong to Pinhead, and he gets to screw with you however he likes.

All of the direct to video Hellraiser movies feel like late 90s point and click fmv horror games...or maybe it just because they all remind me of Phantasmagoria 2.

When Scott Derrickson was on Kevin Smith's podcast he said Inferno not being a Hellraiser script is a misconception. He said that Bob Weinstein offered him to rewrite it as a bigger budget stand alone film (with a happier ending), but he refused because he didn't want to do that, and he also wanted to direct (which he might not have been able to do if it was a bigger budget film? not sure at this point). Anyway, this is my favorite Hellraiser movie after the original. I never liked the sequels full of more & more Cenobites as evil monsters, and this kind of takes it back to the basics. Yeah, it's derivative, but hey, it's a direct to video movie. And also looks a lot better than most dtv movies of that era.

I’m glad more people are recognizing that Inderno is a fun movie

Now I want to see the Doctor Strange-Hellraiser crossover. I don't care what media it's done in, someone needs to make it happen.

How can I be expected to enjoy Lloyd's Out Of Context clips if he immediately tells me the context right afterwards?

"Okay, we need a sequel to Hellraiser." "Let's make it a Detective drama." "You just got yourself a promotion."

Just finished this, and I must say, for what it is, this movie's AMAZING. It's strange it isn't held in higher regard.

Why did Brad edit Pinhead's voice in this video? I distinctly remember Pinhead's voice being much higher-pitched, nasally and very similar to Brad's own voice.

I have had SUCH a shitty day today!! Had a 14 hour work day with people I don't like Thank you brad for making my day better! I needed this review.

The fact that the director later went on to make The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Sinister and Doctor Strange is honestly quite inspiring when you think about it. Just because you have a bumpy start, doesn't mean it sets you up for life. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

My mother ordered me the actual book hellbound heart and I read it in a day. It doesn't really focus on the cenobites, more the human characters

Darn it Snob, now I have to watch Carman "Satan Bite the Dust" again! XD

Honestly, I love this movie. Even though I know it wasn't originally a Hellraiser script it still feels closer to the novella and Epic comics than everything else after 2.

I lost it at the "lettuce shredder" part 🤣

Easily the best of the DTV Hellraisers. Derrickson makes it work💪🏼

This is actually my fav Hellraiser movie

I vaguely like the idea of a script that is written so generically that whichever actor shows up on the set that day is who the movie's now about.

"I must say, I kinda liked it!" Is pretty much my one line reveiw too.

Imagine opening the box and your Hell was watching all the direct to video sequels forever.

When I was a little kid I always wanted to solve a Rubik's Cube from hell.🧊🧊🧊

As someone who's never seen 911 Lone Star, I appreciate the out of context clips.

THAT HALLOWEEN III TAPE PART! HAHAHAHAH

*James Remar transforms into Pinhead* "Oh my god, it's GOTTMIK!"

First time I seen this, I was so happy they were going with a new unique path, but thought the others would continue to be unique also.

Funny how you make a twin peaks reference, I just finished watching all three seasons and the movie “fire walk with me” and I’m actually saddened that’s it’s over already. It was a fantastic show! Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy

Every time I get constipated I go to the Overlook Hospital. Crap gets scared right out of me!

By the time the cowboys appears, I was thinking that it would be nice to see a Hellraiser (or Hellraiser-ish) movie made by David Lynch

Ahh, thanks for covering this one! I've always had a soft spot for it and nothing confirms my appreciation for the flick than your jokes and delivery.

A lot of people hate this Hellraiser, but it's one of my favorite; so thank you for reviewing it. I still think you grew from an alien root and ate the real Cinema Snob, but we’ll take you, if your what we’re given.

Funny that almost all the direct to video films were stories re-written to slap pinhead in them. Now I want to see Kirsty fight a cenobite army 😂

Hell yes, my favorite Hellraiser movie! What are the chances the Snob enjoys this movie as much as I do? Prolly not too good, lol. We shall see... time to press play and find out!

this and hellseeker are the best straight to dvd hellraiser movies

I was obsessed with all things hellraiser for like a year, maybe ten years ago... I devoured the comic books. These movies ain't all that bad. I binged on the whole set of movies at some point. they're not perfect by any length, but they are enjoyable.

Oddly my favorite Hellraiser movie. It seems the most ACTUALLY adherent to the concept of the lore.

You made my day Brad.

Like Hellraiser: Hellseeker (2002) after it, "Inferno" was originally a non-Hellraiser related horror script owned by Dimension. To save money on writing a completely original Hellraiser story, the script was quickly edited to insert the Pinhead and the Cenobites. The special effects budget was only $50,000. Plot similarities to Leon Garfield's "The Ghost Downstairs". The word Cenobite means a member of a monastic order. (at around 1h 16 mins) When Dr. Paul Gregory reveals himself as The Engineer, the cross on his lapel pin is upside-down.

I hate it when i first saw it but after watching it again I really liked the idea of pinhead messing with people as opposed to just ripping them to shreds.

This is actually my favourite hellraiser after the first one 😅

Thanks as always Lloyd, oh and of course you too Snob

"Is this where we find out he grew up to be the killer from Pieces?" hahaha god damn Snob, I love ya!

6:14 I went back to rewatch this with friends and we heard this. Good times😂😂😂

Drug cop would be amazing, like a version of iZombie that wasn't dependent on eating brains but on using crime scene drugs. Trippy visuals and the crapshoot of wondering whether the clues Unearthed through using substances could lead to proper deduction while under the influence of said substances.

Thank you, Loyd! The only thing missing from your clip was having the corrupt cop from the movie your human is reviewing being in that very room behind the guy with the star on his shirt. (I've been spending most of the review waiting for a truly Hellraiser-worthy fate for that face-of-a-lemon-sucker!)

lol I can tell you from experience that you DEFINITELY go through a dark tunnel on Robitussin……I didn’t stick around long enough to meet Pinhead, though.

I've been enjoying your videos for years, man. Endless entertainment. Cheers ~

Of the largely, um, 'unfortunate' direct-to-video HR Schlockquels, 'Inferno' is by FAR the best; like, it's not even a *contest* 😎 🤘

Lloyd's 9-11 Lone Star clip of the week!

Been missing out again in watching Brads' videos. But glad I made it to see this one!

we live you cinema snob!

Great review Brad, your commentary is just so hilarious.

Both Hellraiser and Friday the 13th did this thing with part V, breaking out of the box. Exploring new ideas. Didn't turn out well for the Halloween-franchise, though. Love your show.

Brad inspired me to actually rewatch this, and it just dawned on me: Craig Sheffer is really rocking his inner Boreanaz.

Dude! Main character plays Mordred in Merlin: The Return! I knew I remembered him from somewhere.

I remember liking this movie quite a bit when I was a teen

1st class review Snob :)

Wait...that's the guy from Nightbreed, another Clive Barker story!

Nice Carman addition lol, caught me off guard.

This is my third favorite hell raiser movie. Only cause Jacob's ladder and 1408 are my favorite movies.

Welcome to another episode of The James Remar Show with the Cinema Snob (formerly The John Carradine Show with the Cinema Snob)!

Please be gentle with Hellraiser Deader. I actually like that one, it has Special Agent Tanya SHAKE IT BABY

A Coupling reference - nice!

I sincerely appreciate hearing Lucy asking me to stay tuned.

How did I miss the connection between Bad Lieutenant and Leviathan!?

I needed this today 💕💕

"Saw" review coming? Super pumped for that!

Saw this movie on cable once. Thought it was boring and the ending will leave you so mad.

This is the only Hellraiser film I've seen, and while it's very good as a psychological thriller, I"m not at all surprised this started out as a separate story. The pinhead stuff does seam very tacked on.

11:45 Oh, it’s a creepy cenobite cowboy, alright-and on roller skates no less!

That Carmen ref got me. One of my favorite reviews.

Good one! The more crooked the cop, the more he'll provide naration." Very good,

Holy shit! A Dream Team reference lol. I so went through a phase with that one when I was like 8....Shit I should watch that again lol. I loved that movie. (And this review of course, Thanks, Brad)

10:00 thats the demon Ash summons from Ash vs the evil dead!

I need my Lloyd Approved content!

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU. I'VE GOT SUCH SIGHTS TO SHOW YOU...

I’ll say this much, the director managed to go up in the world after this.

Looks like detective Thorn has a................thorn...in his side......

Not bad for a direct to video movie.

oh boy this one

I liked this movie too. Ive seen it a few times.

I love all Hellraiser films. Still haven't seen the final one or two most recent ones, but I'm sure I'll love them as well.

I remember renting this with a buddy of mine when it came out. We thought it would be an amusingly corny watch with a few drinks, going off the DVD (or was it VHS?) cover. We both ended up quite enjoying it. It looks a little cheesier than I recall, but still.

Huh. Y'know, I realize Brad was joking about fighting Freddy ... but pitting Kreuger against Cenobites could be really interesting. And SUPER frustrating for Fred.

The detective is serving such David Boreanaz looks it's actually really distracting.

I really like this movie and the reason is possibly because it was the first Hellraiser I watched. I guess if I gone into the movie expecting Pinhead to be a major part of it I would also be disappointed like most people seem to be about this. But going into it completely oblivious to the rest of the franchise, I really liked it. It was a solid mystery cop thriller with horror and metaphysical aspects to it. It could really be something "Tales from Twins Peak" with a few changes.

Sidenote; Rubix cubes can become a kind of lament configuration. It just takes a bunch of acid and the person who you bind to it may need to be drunk on moonshine (not sure if that's nescessary, but it's what happened)

My body is beyond ready

All in all you were really fair with this one Brad; I was afraid you would tear it to shreds.Instead you had a ball with it; loved it. Missed the Snob style Pinhead line.. that "welcome to hell," line woulda been perfect for that. Hellseeker meanwhile I wouldn't mind seeing you do that too lol. Inferno I've always really enjoyed; it's an utter shame it wasn't a theatrical release because with a bigger budget somewhat I see it making money. It wasn't that the fans hated the series by then but 4 was such a mess the word of mouth killed it. This one woulda had much better praise and I see it doing better.

I never expected to see a clip from Coupling on your show.

Apparently Hellraiser Hellseeker always was a Hellraiser movie at least that's what the director says in the director's commentary, when he's talking about how he got to choose what movie script he wanted to direct and one of them was for Hellraiser which was Hellseeker, and he also talks about how he either Clive barker a copy of the movie or they sat down and watched it and apparently, Clive barker actually enjoyed it and even wrote down some notes while watching it.

My question of this video is for Brad - Are you watching the British comedy series Coupling ? If not, great clip choice there.

I know this off topic, but which review has the clip of Joey from ‘The One with the Screamer’ because I forgot

Amazing

Wtf is Jacob's ladder and why do you reference it every 5 seconds throughout the video?

I love how Scott Derrickson is also the writing partner of C. Robert Cargill who cowrote Sinister, and Dr. Strange with Derrickson. Also Cargill was part of Spill.com as Carlyle, and currently runs Junkfood Cinema.
