Superb readA thorough and detailed look at the first 8 Hellraisers films and beyond with interviews, anecdotes and behind the scenes photos. A must for Pinhead fans
This book goes step by step threw each film-giving a good synopsis along with a thorough making of ,social impact, impact to the series and a Thoughtful and in-depth dissection of the mythology and symbology of the films. The book also covers non-film Hellraiser related items (props, comic books, other Clive Barker stuff, etc…). A pretty decent reference book for Fans of the series.
A must-read for any Hellraiser fan... when do we get the second edition?
Having only watched the first two Hellraiser films, there was only so much I could get from this book. However Paul Kane does a good job with this one, blending thematic discussions with behind the scenes trivia and general information. A pretty good read even for those with a casual enjoyment of the films.
Simply the best, greatest, and most comprehensive account and chronicle of the Hellraiser mythology and films ever written.
The Hellbound Heart started it & this explains why...film-wise. Clive Barker helped direct the first film, the scariest entry in the franchise. I liked the foreword by Doug Bradley, he really pours into his part in the films. The Cenobites are probably the creepiest group of creatures on screen. They have terrified audiences ever since their first appearance on screen in 1987's Hellraiser. This is a good insight behind the work it took to bring each film to life. All the work put into the films
Nice overview of all the films and then some. I liked the inside info on the making of the films although I would have liked more of a social history approach to the endeavor.
an interesting read about how the hell raiser franchise was made, but the author tries to attach underlying meaning to plots where none exist sometimes.I guess only die-hard Clive Barker fans who have watched all the hell raiser movies would rate it higher than 3 stars. The Hell raiser movies are more grotesque and watchable than your average horror franchise ... though I haven't actually watched any except for a bit of Part 3 on YouTube ... rather that is my take-away after reading the book.
