I liked all the Hellraiser movies and finally upgraded to DVD. I haven't seen the new one yet but I plan on buying it when the price drops down some.

Cool Stinger, if you liked the last 4 then you will love this. Yes it takes adjusting too, to not see Doug as PinHead.... but he simply doesnt wanna play the part anymore. Other than that, I dont know what everyone is talking about, when it comes to being bad. BTW i put a link up in here so u can watch it before the price drops. Check it out if u want.

Thanks Halloween11 I appreciate your open mind. If you see it and disagree, then im sorry i recommended what is in your opinion a bad movie. ;D After talking to Xч about it in texts he bought it on BluRay. I am interested to see what he has to say. Yes, I would feel very bad if he hated it.

Well, Hellraiser revelations was pretty good.The acting wasn't great but not bad either.(Watchable) being a hardcore Hell fan,with Hellraiser 1 and Hellraiser 2 Hellbound in mind,Clive barkers vision of the mythology was not quite executed in revelations.I see the film being more of a homage to the first 2 Hell movies than an actual sequel to the mythos.With that said,i liked the movie.It's definitely better than Hellworld at least.The new Pinhead will never be better than Doug Bradley s portrayal,but i think he did a pretty good job.The movie is extremely violent and lots of gore to go around.I LOL hard during the mattress rebirth scene and the acting at some points but i've seen worse. Pseudo-Pinhead was freaking awesome! I wouldn't mind seeing that design take over the Doug Bradley pinhead version if we ever see another Hell movie. I'm glad i brought the Blu-Ray. Thanks Demon for reminding me about it.
I voted 3.

Well I am glad you didnt say "Demon is a dope and recommends shit movies... dont listen to this jerk off. You will just be out $16... BEWARE of this asshole"
I pretty much agree with all you said. However I have liked a lot of other movies much worse than this. Thats what I dont get.... SO MANY Hellraisers were bad... thats why they went right to VHS... I dont see how this is any worse than they are. If anything its a major improvement. If Doug was in it it woulda been a perfect improvement IMO.Im not as crazy into Hellraisers as you and hardcore fans are. I have seen a lot of them say this...Clive barkers vision of the mythology was not quite executed in revelations Why do you say this exactly? How did the last 3 films achieve this and this one didnt?

1) I don't "stick with the majority" Cue the Batman thread. 2) I am indeed a fan and I do believe I fought you and Abraxis over how I liked Inferno despite you bashing 3) I will watch it when i find a stream copy but certainly not paying for it unless I get it used.

I don't care if they got a new guy to play Pinhead. That is going to happen if they ever get to work on the remake, just like with Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy. It would make no sense for Doug Bradley to reprise the role for a movie that is intended to be a fresh start. In this case, he thought that the script was a piece of crap and didn't want any part of a movie that the studio heads don't care about.
Actually, it is interesting how this board is quite often the polar opposite of how the rest of the internet feels. While people loved TDK all over the world, most CLAD members weren't gushing about it. In the case of Revelations, I haven't seen a single gushing review other then on here.

I dont agree on that point. What people were bashing on CLAD about TDK was the fact that people were sucking Jokers dick (just because he died) before they even saw the movie. Even going as far as to say he was the greatest Joker... HAVING NEVER SEEN THE MOVIE!
You are pissing on two amazing Jokers wen you say that. Cesar and Jack... That is just wrong. TDK turned out to be one of my fav movies ever. Despite its fall from BatMan Begins. That has some great things thats TDK didnt but should have...
Other than that TDK kicks ass and is in my bluray collection.
As far as Revelations goes... Doug Bradly is a dumb actor and knows nothing about scripts... His credibility went out the window after doing Hellraiser 5-8... so whatever dude...

You are so defensive about the movie. Why is that? Does it bother you that those who love it are in the minority?
I usually see this kind of defense from people who actully like H5 and Resurrection and desperately try to convince other people that they are good movies.

Here is where I differ... I am not trying to convince anyone of anything they dont believe. Im trying to inform you that its not THAT bad and you may enjoy it.
If you WATCHED it and didnt like it... that is a different story. I will not "defend" it and say you are wrong... I would say thats your opinion. My only goal is to inform people that its a pretty good movie. And instead of listening to every other DBradley fan... give the movie a shot (already knowing he isnt in it) and see if you like it. Christ... I even gave you all a free viewing with the megaupload. If you dont wanna watch then fine. But dont bash it if you arent even willing to watch.

You really need to look up some of the negative reviews. People don't just hate it because Doug Bradley doesn't play Pinhead. They cite issues like bad writing, acting, directing and an obvious lack of preparation and funding. Do a Google search and you will find some well written critiques.
It is somehow bad to relay the fact that the studio never cared about how the movie turned out as long as they retained the rights. The people who made the movie had 10 days of pre-production and took about two weeks to film it with barely any money. People were essentially working for free to keep the production going.
I will give it a chance, but with very low expectations.

H.A.T.E.R.S. = Having Anger Towards Everyone Reaching Success Why would I wana look up anything to see what they have to say? All I care about is how I felt watching it and when it was over. Thats the only opinion I am interested in. Besides my friends who saw it. Not random people...
I dont care WHY anyone else didnt like it. What is that to me? Is it supposed to convince me I am wrong? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder bro...

Despite saying that you don't care what other people think of it, you come off like a guy on a quest to make people like it as much as you. Just saying.

Dude how many ways can I say this? I am trying to get people to think for themselves and not like the masses. After you watch it, what you think is what you think....
But dont not watch it because of popular opinion.
Its just frustrating to me that u dont see the difference in (1. trying to convince people that what they saw was good. compared to (2. letting people know that despite all the bashing I took the time to watch the newest most hated movie and really liked it. Therefore I wanna let them know that they might like it too if they dont let the criticisms keeps them from checking it out
What youre talking about is number 1, while what Im doing is the 2nd.

I finally got around to watching this movie last night. I thought it was really good and not bad at all. It's only about 75 minutes long. I actually don't think the Pinhead character was even in the movie long enough to form an opinion of whether he sucked or not. If I could I would have gave it 3 1/2 stars.
