Well, I got the Hellraiser 7: Deader dvd in the mail the other day and watched it yesterday… I have to say, six was better. And seven could have been better if it had used more foreshadowing as six did. The potential was there, and some of the scenes they left out would have improved it. Don’t get me wrong, it was certainly better than five. All the Hellraiser movies are better than five, which was basically a bad cop story in hell. But six didn’t add anything new to the story, aside from giving the latest Merchant incarnation an interesting ability.
They also had a “gag reel” which wasn’t very big, but I got a kick out of seeing ol’ Pinny flub his lines and start laughing. Nothing like a seeing a man with pins in his head start chortling non-fiendishly to make you crackup.
For fans of the late sci-fi show Sliders, the main character is Kari, the woman who played Maggie. I found her character in Hellraiser to be very Maggie-ish in that both are pretty hardboiled personalities. It does make me wonder about her range as an actress though. :/
I haven’t watched all the commentary yet, but it was a good effort. I was already prepared to be disappointed… being a fan is always good preparation for disappointment. I’m hoping eight is better in September, and I’m looking forward to hearing more in the tv show they were discussing a while back.
