Why Hellraiser Revelations turned out the way it did 

They didn't even believe her at first either.

There will be blood.

The happy ending imo is that he came back for the sequel and did the best movie since the first one.

Bijinius Cross What if being alive led to inexistence? Suffering is one thing. Death and oblivion another.

YES I think it is such a less-dimensional and less-creative application of the Cenobites to fit them into a Christian cosmology. That is so tired.

yeah definitely!

Yes! I agree 100% with you, it felt like a Hellraiser movie. Many other Hellraiser movies felt like non-Hellraiser movies where they just added Pinhead to make a quick buck.

If at the very least it had a Hellraiser Judgement-level Pinhead it would have been far better received and one of the stronger made-for-dvd sequels. But I also think it might have been fresh to not have had a Pinhead at all, beyond the pseudo-Pinhead that is created half-way through the movie. The first film and the expanded lore have readily stated Pinhead was simply the "lead cenobite" in that particular gash that appeared when Kirsty opened the box, he wasn't explicitly *the* villain, just the one who spoke the most in that situation. I thought Revelations' pseudo-Pinhead looked amazing with his grafted skin, open flesh and being forged a-new. If you're creating a new Pinhead, why not have a new and very-different "lead cenobite" (of which there's always so many options to draw from, maybe someone like Angelique for example) who would then forge a new Pinhead character; to rekindle the legacy, rather than just recasting the role badly and having him craft a needless mini-me who looks better than the actual character himself? But at the very least, if the producers insisted that Pinhead be the villain (I'll concede that's understandable from a business perspective), one would like to think that the casting should have had a lot more scrutiny, it is surely THE most important aspect of any Hellraiser sequel at this stage? Judgement's Pinhead was fantastic given that it wasn't Bradley (I'd rather have the legend, but Paul Taylor embodied the role well), and was an excellent recasting given the situation, however Revelations' Stephan Collins was sadly just dreadful (though I understand he was actually voiced by Fred Tatasciore who I honestly feel may have been an even larger culprit in destroying this version of the character). That said, no disrespect to Collins for whatever else he's done, but he was woefully miscast as Pinhead; his physical features alone were too strong for such a cold and surgically-precise looking character, traits that are synonymous with his appearance. I'm open to recasting, business is business, but a Pinhead actor needs a Patrick Stewart-like statuesque yet undefined facial structure; small eyes, minimal lips, a strong angular nose, a shallow brow-line, a defined jaw structure, yet sadly Collins' lacked all of these from a basic visual standpoint and had far too strong facial features (and I mean that with no intended disrespect to him, I myself would never make a good Pinhead with my Jagger lips and soft chin). I don't ever wish to be shallow and say someone is a bad actor for simply how they look, but Pinhead is like the sadistic corruption of a Roman statue, he should be both perfect yet awful simultaneously, it ties with his entire contradiction as a being, the blend between good and evil, pain and pleasure. For Pinhead to be anything less than statuesque is misunderstanding the character. And for that I do have to stress I do think Paul Taylor was an excellent recasting, even if I'd rather have Bradley himself involved.... but what can you do for pocket change?

@@ReleaseTheCanines Honestly, I completely concur with you 💯… I’m such a huge HELLRAISER & Pinhead fan. I just finished watching HELLRAISER: Judgement… I was so sad to not see Douglas Bradley playing as Pinhead. I haven’t yet seen HELLRAISER: Revaluation’s… I began to wonder why Bradley wasn’t cast as Pinhead, & thought that possibly/maybe it was bc, Douglas Bradley might’ve been ill, or worse-deceased; or, maybe they believe he’s too old to play as Pinhead now in it and possibly other HELLRAISER movies--if they’re are any more made after HELLRAISER: Judgement

There's a great documentary about the band Coil. Doing the first soundtrack that sadly never got released for the first hell razor. Movie Clive Barker and the 2 main guys from coil. John balance and sleazy Jansen work together.

Right?

Awesome to see you in these comments. Yes they definitely need to release these in a proper collection.

A Part 3 would have to touch the false flag psyop topic.

GenoX1987 my Miramax dvd of deader doesn't have it...

That was regarding "Judgement", not "Revelations". This will be covered in the next video.

How did the project go? Can we see it anywhere? You have a striking look!

That's what filmmaking is all about, having an idea that you are passionate about and go for it, despite if you have the budget or not.

It’s a horrible movie

Luna Angel Clive Barker stoped being involved & lazy writers took over. Barkers books on hellraiser are SO MUCH better.

@@Corvy952 "The Scarlet Gospels" was awful. The comics were good, but they're not "books". He hasn't written any other books about Hellraiser besides "The Hellbound Heart", which was good but very different to the first Hellraiser film.

at last someone who also enjoyed this movie :D The story was very Hellraiser ish, unlike Inferno and Hellworld who felt like other movies that just happend to have a bit of Pinhead in it to sell them. If it was a fan movie, people would love the movie. It even has a fan movie vibe going on. So there are many weak points of this movie, but a last i did enjoy the story and the kills/punishments :)

We will most definitely consider it, i have been wanting to do a video about the difference in the US and Foreign box sets for a while now (-Tom)

Midnight's Edge After Dark would be awesome if you guys could interview either coscarelli, reggie banister or michael baldwin.

KingFossilFER we will try and see if we can get in touch with them perhaps :-)

You have both sets too?

Snap out of it! Its a rubric cube story!

Seems like you rushed the creation process of your comment too.

themaybatatter it happens i kinda forget a few thing when. I am righting.

Michael Buehler You know what Gregory Horror Show is.... I love you.

James Davidson soon, probably within the next couple days

Still waiting!

Yes. It will be long video, which is why editing it takes a while. And it will be worth the wait.

Awesome, thanks

He explained why in this video.

Bad Request I've often thought this of him too while watching some of his interviews on here Great Pinhead but uppity I'm real life at times

lol. So you're judging him off one encounter. I would say you sound like a sensitive douche, but I don't wanna condemn you for one comment.

Kemp Dog Yes.

Midnight's Edge not gonna tell you how to do things but id put in part 2 in the title. Good info bro

If had to guess you mean Tom quietly saying "Right" and since it was recorded from skype it's a little digital sounding too

Oh, ok. I wasn't sure if it was a cenobite

Maybe... :-o

The Weinstein Company announced one even before this film came out, but so far nothing.

TheAutistWhisperer Or actually end it for good.

LOL

[r00t] Clive had nothing to do with the franchise after Hell on Earth.

[r00t] yeah Clive’s books on hellraiser are so much better than the movies

He should have accepted Judgment, which was written for him.

@@MidnightsEdge he might have had the nda been a page, which is what he was familiar with

Pinhead being in it was an ABSOLUTE demand from Dimension, for now other reason than that him being on the cover was the sales pitch.

@@MidnightsEdge huh! That’s an odd demand (in my mind) but it is interesting to know! Thank you :) I just feel that Hellraiser fans would have been more forgiving and probably more excited to see a story within the universe about someone other than pimhead

@@UlyssesCrab The built in fans might have been, but studio execs don't think that way. To them, Hellraiser = Pinhead on the cover, which is their salespitch, meaning he has to be in the movie in some capacity. No arguments, no exceptions.
