When captured and awaiting death from a madman hell bent on taking his life; Simon decides to share what he has gone through and puts himself at acceptance with death, but not before he share... read more

It's always a shame when a fantastic, well written short story is turned into a not so good full length movie. I love Clive Barker's Books of Blood, and some of the short stories in those volumes have been turned into pretty decent (and better) movies. This one, however, was a huge disappointment. As soon as I found out the movie existed, I looked forward to watching it....but as soon as I had ... read more

"Oct 7th - Re-Watch I still love this film despite the flaws and almost campy nature of the film. There were a few things that I didn't really pick up on until watching again. So, it was work a second viewing."

"9.10.11. TV Clive Barker on uusi Stephen King. Tarkoitan sillä sitä, että ennen Kingin erittäin mainioilla romaaneilla oli tapana joutua julmasti teurastetuksi milloin kenenkin tunarin ollessa vastuussa. Barkerin teoksista ei ole taidettu tehdä yhtä ainoaa ihan oikeasti hyvää elokuvaa, joskin myönnettäköön, että kirjailijan itsensä ohjaaman Hellraiserin näkemisestä on niin kauan, että voin joutua perumaan puheeni uusintatiirailulla.

The short story is MUCH better, especially since Clive Barker is a genius at creating vivid mental pictures with his writing. I never have a problem conjuring up what he describes in my imagination, so it's a shame that the writers of this screenplay seem to have had a problem doing the same.

Overall, terrible.” read more

"9.10.2011 Mulla ei ole mitään käsitystä mitä tässä tapahtui. Visuaalisesti uskomattoman ruma (yllätys) ja kaikinpuolin uskomattoman tylsä. Minkä takia mä katon näitä paskaleffoja?"

When captured and awaiting death from a madman hell bent on taking his life; Simon decides to share what he has gone through and puts himself at acceptance with death, but not before he shares his story. Recently called upon for his medium powers to spend a few nights in a house with a psychic researcher and see if anything strange goes on through the study. After weird things were declared fake and staged by Simon himself, he did what he could the next nights to prove himself to this woman ashamed to have asked for his help.
