The Hellraiser Ten-Day Marathon
My attempt to watch all ten Hellraiser films in succession.
Day One - Hellraiser - 1987
A gold-plated classic of modern horror with the Cenobites used very sparingly and to genuinely horrifying effect.
Interestingly, it had its premiere @princecharlescinema.com

Saw this yesterday afternoon.
No story, no plot and with characters that come and go before disappearing forever, but it's intoxicating like few other films ever have been.
If you've not seen it on a cinema screen you owe it to yourself to change that.

One of the reasons The Daily Mail website is a thing of bizarre joy, is the way in which it's editorial policy veers dramatically between - "oh no! the AI warrior robots will destroy us all" and things like this...

Not a great film by any stretch and its gender, racial and sexual politics are very much "of their time" but still worth seeing for an incendiary performance by Morgan Freeman.
And Miles Davis did the music!

Saw this @thegardencinema.bsky.social the other day, fully expecting it to be a West German prequel to Tony Scott's 1996 film in which Robert De Niro plays a knife salesman.
Seems I was misinformed.

Just found this lying in the road on the way back from the shops.
Battered, dogeared and a little worse for wear, but still shiny and brilliant.

A film that appears to exist purely for the purpose of causing offence and a wonderful artefact of the late 1980s.
Directed by J. Michael Muro, who later worked on Titanic.
Recommended unreservedly.

This film feels like it was made by a group of people who've spent their entire lives in a locked room with only a television showing soap operas to inform them of the wider world.
