Hellraiser fan film - The Hellraiser Chronicles: Lifebringer 1 of 3

excellent title sequence, sadly the only part of the film worth watching.

I respect your ambition but i think making a fan film for such a franchise as this requires alot more attention than it seems was applied to this. Terrible acting,terrible plot. i like how you've tried to recreate some of the imagery of the first two films in the opening though. This may be the worst fan film ive seen but hopefully you'll make something awesome next!good luck!

@aaronwhitebooga Sorry to hear it, of course, although I will say I've seen *far* worse fanfilms out there, even sayign so myself. Can you say what you didn't like about the story? obviously everyone has different tastes but it's always good to know why someone might think it terrible. I should point out though, a LOT of attention and time was put into this, despite endless setbacks and problems. :)

@bameballs the faustian storyline has been done to DEATH in the hellraiser mythos but i dont see anything wrong with revisting it if you can bring something new. That could be ignored if not for the terrible editing/sound/camerawork/actin­g. Then again, making short films is familiar ground to me, maybe i'm being too harsh to a film made by casual digital filmmakers. A far stronger example of a film like this would be 'no more souls'. you should check it out!

@aaronwhitebooga That's a little unfair since NMS was made by the effects team behind the Hellraiser films using leftover props and stuff from the last shoot they did. It's visually good though, although the story goes against the wider mythology, where I take my inspiration. That said, I'd defend Lifebringer's narrative on the lines that of all the films, stories and comics, none of them have ever done a Cenobite specifically in a teacher role.

@bameballs i've seen many a story like this on 'the hellbound web'. Granted, i didnt realise that about no more souls. You seem so concerned about the script, when its the basic rules of editing and camerawork that should be the issue here. Some of the shots dont match at all, making the film seem like some hellraiser fans pissing about on a raining weekend. I've yet to make a fan film though, so props to you for actually getting it done. are you planning another?

It didn't suck. I don't understand why some are complaining about it. It's not THAT bad. And if you don't like it, either you just dont comment on it, or try to give some more constructive comments than just: "Damn, this sucks bigtime" or something.

[bameballs]

@Motorskallen Thank you for the fair comments. It's got a lot of positive responses elsewhere which is all we can ask for, really. :)

i just dont get the story line but okok its good

[joemann1313]

This is the worst fan film ive ever seen (no offence)

[bameballs]

@joemann1313 Each to their own. Not very constuctive comments either, though.

[joemann1313]

@bameballs its just the fact that i dont see no pinhead

[bameballs]

@joemann1313 We couldn't afford Doug Bradley on our budget. But seriously, that's because didn't want to do a pale imitation of Doug, when there's so much more to Hellraiser, over a hundred stories and comics without Pinhead.

Just kidding, this looks lovely.
