This looks much much better than helraiser 5,6 7. The best hellraiser movies are 1 2 3 but the rest is fake. Hope there will come a franchise in 2012. I really enjoyed this movie hope you guys will make more larges movies
Great idea, and I like your cenobites, but I don't like how you chose anjelique over pinhead. anjelique was probably the lamest cenobyte, besides dischead and lenshead from hellraiser iii. Good character, but shitty cenobyte. Should've used pinhead.
Woohoo those costumes were wicked. I'm quite impressed. Having some better equipment would have brought this up to "commercial" quality. Good lighting can do wonders in covering up the lack of other resources. Angelique was a perfect choice and I'm glad you didn't make the mistake of trying to do Pinhead. Two thumbs up.
The nature of fan films are that the majority of them have low budgets but to see fans craft a film which crosses the Hellraiser mythology with that of The Prophecy films is unique and very interesting. Congrats.
Apart from the obvious flaws stemming from an apparent low budget, you captured the feel of the movies very well. Kudos to you and good luck on future projects.
The acting is meh, but this a fan film so the acting doesn't really matter. The atmosphere created in some key scenes is great. This is not bad at all.
I have to applaud the commitment and ambition that went into this project. The idea/plot is actually an interesting one. The effects are what they are, this IS an amateur production. The weakest link is the acting. You can get away with almost anything if you have an actor that can sell it. Anyway, just wanted to offer my support. Welcome to Hell.
that was awesome. want to point out that the editing was amazing, loved the shots/cuts during dialogues and all that. only thing i think could have been improved without the need of money is instructing the actors to maybe slow their lines down a bit and accentuate their words.
5 stars for this, hope you see lots of success in the future.
Yeah, sorry about that... We had a pretty low budget, and the person who did the makeup was originally in Philadelphia while the actress was in New York, so when everyone finally came together that day to film, we did what we could with what we had... :)
Well,not bad! certainly atmosphere more ''real'' than in some sequels...but,there's NO ''lucifer'' as such in hellraiser mythology,the Leviathan is it's infernal majesty itself,and the only one!
I wonder the same thing, why nno Pinhead? My guess however is that Pinhead is just too iconic, and they did'nt wish to cheapen that iconic status by having some strange guy play Pinhead, maybe. Also, maybe they could'nt get the rights to do so.
I think that would make a good vovie though, just think- Pinhead Vs Satan/Lucifer. What a great concept, lol!
Anyways, not badly done. Coulda been better, but for fan-fiction, not bad.
I think this was a very good movie (at the risk of sounding like everyone else), considering what you had to work with. I have made 2 short films myself (found on my page here) and one is ALSO a homage to a horror/sci-fi movie, Plan 9 From Outer Space. And eveyone who is giving this guy grief, please cut him some slack. Those who decide to make fan films MUST work with what they have, money, actor, props, etc. So Kudos to you sir for making an awesome movie, I' looking forward to the next one.
of course as these terrible films start being made by fans, the women get gaudier looking and more blonde. at least clive barker had good taste in actors.
Well the 2nd half is much better than the 1st half. The Cenobites were great. Kudos to the one who made the costumes.
Some of the acting wasn't that great (but it is a fan film, so it's excusable) however some of it was pretty good actually, mainly the cenobites and Lucifer.
I enjoyed it. Nice blend of 2 great movie franchises. Good job!
Satan was not evil sounding enough and I could have done a better job.Her eyes should have been black with contacts.They need to get more into the feel of the demonic and let it come forth
Honestly surprised that Dimension didn't do this. I guess the closest we'll ever get to see a Heaven Vs. Hell battle will probably be that SOUTH PARK episode from a while back.
the acting the acting cmon guys these are normal joes like you and me making a tribute film i couldnt do any better and neither can any of you so stop with how bad the acting is is was a great movie i thought 5 stars good work
Welcome back! The DVD has subtitles in several languages, in the meantime I'll see what I can do to get her lines out on the web somewhere. Sorry about that, Monica has a heavy Italian accent to begin with, and we didn't have a sound person to record the dialog a little more clearly before processing... :P
Was the cenobite with the big drill bit through his head an original creation, or was he in one of the Hellraiser movies? I've only gotten to see the first 4 films. I've heard the rest were really bad, but I still want to see them because I still loe the franchise. Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment, lol
Greetings, you can find "Spike" from in the deleted scenes of HR7 on the DVD. It was created by Gary Tunnicliffe for the film, but was sadly deleted out. Spike was purportedly inspired by an image from one of the nightmare flashes from EVENT HORIZON, the Paul WS Anderson film...
Aww shit yeah! That IS something to think about. Who would win between Lucifer and Leviathan. I'm gonna put my chips on Lucifer though. He was created before there was a such thing as pain and his rebellion before there was man. He may have just been around longer to experience every type of suffering there is.
@ratedr739 - From the official website: "The Hellraiser mythos goes much father than just Pinhead, but rather extends out to encompass Leviathan and the entire army of Cenobites.

Doug Bradley performs the archetypal Pinhead, and nobody that I would be able to find could have come close to his performance."
Nice job Jonathan. Hellraiser is one of my favorites and to see old friends and familiar places in it is just awesome. I really liked the costumes and I thought the editing was really great. The story was fun and the camera work was really good too. Some of the acting, especially the conversation in the very first scene in the library could have been done better but overall the acting improved dramatically towards the end. (How come Lori didn't get ripped apart with the chains? ) -ashkan
(Is this Ashkan from CSHL?) Hey Ashkan, thanks for the kind review... :) We didn't rip Lori apart mainly because I had no idea how to do it... :) We didn't have anybody who knew how to do visual effects; we just had me struggling to learn the most basic fxns of Adobe Aftereffects... :)
@ Tracefan89 - A discerning fan like yourself should recognize Angelique from Hellraiser: Bloodline, the fourth film in the series. If you watch that, you'll see who she is...
@hitmanlover - There's a guy named kevfla who builds them and sells them on his site and through eBay... Try googling "hellraiser puzzle box sales gallery" Good luck! (Keep in mind, the movable ones are very expensive...)
You've probably been asked this... But. . . I haven't seen an answer to it. For the Lament Configuration, what is that melody called and where did you find it? The puzzle box melody is haunting. xD
@Phoebus3309 - That's "Seduction and Pursuit" by HR1 score composer Christopher Young... iTunes, I'm sure, and the score is likely still available on CD... Crescendo Records, if I remember correctly... Cheers...
I think it was great for a fan movie. None of them are actors so I didnt expect that to be great. I think it was smart to not have pinhead in it cause people woul definatley gripe if he wasnt perfect. and angelique is my favorite anyway. if pinhead ever took a day off i think she'd be the best fill in lol. awesome butterball too, he looked geat!
Nicely done mate, It's easy for people to snipe even though they haven't the courage to try it themselves. I hope your planning to make more, as i (like many others i'm sure) would like to find out what happens next...
jonathan kui! your the man! awesome job! you inspire me.how i wish i could do a short horror movie with the local models im handling here in a small city of philippines. they're my friends so, no talent fee involved. also, im asking help from my friends who graduated from film school. they're willing to help. done the story, but im finishing on the script now. wish i could do a good job just like you did.
I know this is all water under the bridge, and by now you're on to bigger and better things, but I just wanted to say that I loved where it was going. The one thing that made me stop it half way was the acting. Everything else was dead on though.
this was prolly better than that piece of shit Hellraiser: Hellworld. although anyone with cancer might be pissed they spent precious life time on this
I really liked the story, use of sound/lighting (loved the shimmering effect on the door and the voice "warble"), liked the decision to use the original score rather than original music.
Did not care for the acting. Seriously - Angelique literally calls him "Lucyfur" at one point.
Not bad. Intriguingly weird crossover idea, and the stolen music from Lord of Illusions helps a lot (won't hold it against you, I promise), but I wish you'd either worked more with your actors or gotten better ones... and also that you had resisted the temptation for a cheap jolt (the security guard grabbing the gal).
Perhaps you will tell me to see if I can do better like you did that other guy. Well, I can always send you one of my own original scripts which shows I might be able to do so :-)
Thanks for the feedback! I agree; I was too inexperienced (and still may be) and my fellow biologist friends did the best acting they could. I am learning though; for HR DEADER: WINTER'S LAMENT we had a trained cinematographer, gaffer and actors, and I believe it will be stronger than this, my fledgling attempt. :)
And yes, I absoLUTEly recommend you forward and make your film; there's no feeling like seeing your ideas manifested visually! I wish you the very best in your efforts!
You're welcome, man. _Hellraiser: Prophecy_ isn't great, but making shorts to gain experience is a good idea for any n00b filmmaker.
Believe me, if I wasn't so busy right now with professional commitments, I'd probably be making a film of my own. After all, you're not gonna be much of an artist if you don't eat :-)
(Btw, "that other guy," macvillain24, was just being a troll. I have no problems with constructive and thoughtful criticism, indeed I encourage it! How else would I learn to do better? It's the DISMISSIVE criticism, the insults for insults' sake, that I find droll. People who leave cruel comments, without ever trying to make or learn what it takes to make a film of any level, are being spiteful just because they can. Wishing someone dead because you don't like their free fanfilm is ludicrous.)
YouTube is stuffed to the gills with ludicrous people. Didja see that vid which is the Fox News report on that old lady who wouldn't give Halloween candy to kids who supported Obama? Some joker actually posted the lady's name, home address, and phone number in the comments section. Jesus, *some* people!
You're right! I shouldn't try to learn and improve, I should just give up after the first try because you said so... Thank goodness you spoke up when you did! I'm going to go and cancel my other projects immediately!
I'm sorry you didn't like the story... As to the acting, these biologists did the best they could. This was definitely a learning experience for all of us, and we hope to do better in the future...
this video was the most crap ive ever wached thank you for wasting my time this so called video was so terible you killed hellraiser with this cheasy ass video....it's as you got your actors from a porn...serious dude they cant act for shit i hope you die for this disgrace to hellraiser
I usually don't post asinine comments by ignorant users, but this one made me smile. :) 1) First off, you shouldn't have watched Part 2, if you didn't like Part 1, nor should you have spent even more time commenting, so YOU wasted your time, not ME. :) 2) Our actors weren't from porn, they were biologists. 3) This "disgrace to Hellraiser" was enjoyed for what it was by Clive Barker and was the first film to reference Leviathan since HR2. 4) When you get off your ass & do better, let me know.
There are a few artisans who make them as a side job... Not sure how many are still around, but the most widely advertised seller these days is at hellraiserpuzzlebox dotcom.
As for the movie itself I'd have to rate it a 3 out of 5. It's mostly about the costumes of the Cenobites, really. They need a little work, especially Butterball's. The mask and makeup looked a bit hasty. Needed more blood. The camera work's actually pretty good for an amateur work. Looks kind of artsy/Blair Witch style. This can be good or bad. And what's the name of the Cenobite with the pointy fencepost going through his face?
That would be Spike... Spike was originally a Cenobite from the deleted scenes of HR: DEADER (check the DVD) that I tried to bring back in this fan film... Cheers...
Part 1? Angelique wasn't in part 1 of HRP, but she was in HR: BLOODLINE... The actress who played her in HRP is actually Italian. The actress who played her in BLOODLINE is actually Chilean, but her lines were dubbed over. The original character in BLOODLINE was a European prostitute (French, possibly)...
You're probably thinking of the Female Cenobite (that's the only name given to her so far), who has a wound in her throat that is stretched open by wires. Angelique is in the fourth movie, Hellraiser: Bloodline.
Not yet, but we're currently working on a fan film prequel to HR7 called HELLRAISER: DEADER - WINTER'S LAMENT (2009) which will tie in to events from HR4 and HRP... Cheers!
and now i have too buy the movies you made cause they r great
the actors r awesome, the effects r ok considering the budget but other than that the movie is awesome also i loved the Prophecy movies with Christoper Walken so u combined them well...... keep up the good work
Nice little twist at the end there with Lucifer. Despite some hardcore HR fans protests, I once thought that a Prophecy crossover was natural for Dimension to do. Especially after the whole Helloween thing fell through.
I dunno if my last comment made it or not but I liked the costumes I mean they were killer not having a real budget or any studio help. I mean seriously that girl who did them should be like I dunno making actual costumes for studio films she kicks ass. Not too big on the main demons hair being seen but still good nonetheless. Alot of work went into this and I applaud you for that. Just I dunno step up the acting a notch its like watching days of our lives. Kinda reminded me of Buffy.
From the website FAQ: "this film is intended for die-hard fans of the Hellraiser series, including its films, literature and especially the comics. The Hellraiser mythos goes much father than just Pinhead, but rather extends out to encompass Leviathan and the entire army of Cenobites. Pinhead is but one Cenobite. This film features four of the others as previously seen in the films." Again, though, we will have Pinhead in our next fan film HR: WINTER'S LAMENT becaues the backstory warrants it.
She's doing it wrong, when summoning them up from wherever they may be, it'd best to offer them your fresh urine and at least 2 dozen fresh dove heads.
From the website's "Story" link: "The Hellraiser mythos goes much father than just Pinhead... This film features four of the other [Cenobites] as previously seen in the films ...anybody cast as Pinhead will have comparisons made to Doug Bradley ...nobody that I would be able to find could have come close to his performance."
That being said, I've relented in the past two years; our next fan film has Pinhead, but not doing anything you haven't seen before. Literally.
For a fan based film,I've got to say this is pretty fucking awesome. I am a complete horror nut, and at the age f a bout 6 i was watching films like hellraiser andthe exorcist. Good job to all of you.
I think that some more work need to be done with Angelique. She was a sexy dominatrice whose ferocity and sexual appeal did not subside even after her becoming a cenobite.
Pretty damn good for a movie on a budget. The only thing that really bothered me was the acting - mainly that of the Cenobites. It just seems like the woman playing the "lead" Cenobite overacted a little bit. I did, however, like how you handled the whole situation - it must not have been easy to pull of the look of the Cenos as well as you did, so, props for that. After this experience, I'm sure everyone has grown with the experience and I for one would love to see another take on this. Bravo
I'd respectfully recommend that you re-watch Hellraiser 2, 3 and 4, as Pinhead doesn't just fuckin smile, he outright laughs in each. (He may also laugh in the other films, but that was just off the top of my head.)
shame the whole this looks incredibly amaturish. the original Hellraiser probably didnt have much more work put into it and the latter 2 movies definitely didnt. They could have made the whole things looked proper if theyd used a wide angle lens instead of a fecking camcorders regular lens i mean like theyr 30 quid or something, if your going to all that effort you could have put a little more into it...
Biology students generally don't have camcorders lying around that support changing lenses. This was our first attempt at a film, and all we could afford were fecking home camcorders, not even prosumer ones. The original Hellraiser had 5 producers, a film studio and over 100 crew according to IMDB. We had about a dozen biology students, my credit card and zero experience. So a little perspective might be in order here. Sorry your free entertainment was so disappointing. Yours will be better.
It's pretty good, I realize there are a lot of limitations when it comes to making a fanfilm, but I have one complaint.. the actress playing the female cenobite is way too.. fidgety. She's always moving.. like any average human would when they're talking or just standing around. It kindof takes away from the presence imo. I think a cenobite should be more graceful.
Considering that no new Hellraiser film has been released in the UK since 2002's Inferno, I'm overjoyed to find this excellent fan film. Keep up the good work, I can't wait for Winter's Lament!
The Bound and Spike cenobites kick ass! It doesn't make sense how Spike lives, but I don't care, he's awesome!

You've probably been asked this... But. . . I haven't seen an answer to it. For the Lament Configuration, what is that melody called and where did you find it? The puzzle box melody is haunting. xD

@Phoebus3309 - That's "Seduction and Pursuit" by HR1 score composer Christopher Young... iTunes, I'm sure, and the score is likely still available on CD... Crescendo Records, if I remember correctly... Cheers...

I think it was great for a fan movie. None of them are actors so I didnt expect that to be great. I think it was smart to not have pinhead in it cause people woul definatley gripe if he wasnt perfect. and angelique is my favorite anyway. if pinhead ever took a day off i think she'd be the best fill in lol. awesome butterball too, he looked geat!

I really liked the story, use of sound/lighting (loved the shimmering effect on the door and the voice "warble"), liked the decision to use the original score rather than original music.
Did not care for the acting. Seriously - Angelique literally calls him "Lucyfur" at one point.
Liked it overall though!

prion26 3 years ago
Not bad. Intriguingly weird crossover idea, and the stolen music from Lord of Illusions helps a lot (won't hold it against you, I promise), but I wish you'd either worked more with your actors or gotten better ones... and also that you had resisted the temptation for a cheap jolt (the security guard grabbing the gal).
Perhaps you will tell me to see if I can do better like you did that other guy. Well, I can always send you one of my own original scripts which shows I might be able to do so :-)
DeadJerker 3 years ago
Thanks for the feedback! I agree; I was too inexperienced (and still may be) and my fellow biologist friends did the best acting they could. I am learning though; for HR DEADER: WINTER'S LAMENT we had a trained cinematographer, gaffer and actors, and I believe it will be stronger than this, my fledgling attempt. :)
And yes, I absoLUTEly recommend you forward and make your film; there's no feeling like seeing your ideas manifested visually! I wish you the very best in your efforts!
jonathankui 3 years ago
You're welcome, man. _Hellraiser: Prophecy_ isn't great, but making shorts to gain experience is a good idea for any n00b filmmaker.
Believe me, if I wasn't so busy right now with professional commitments, I'd probably be making a film of my own. After all, you're not gonna be much of an artist if you don't eat :-)
DeadJerker 3 years ago
(Btw, "that other guy," macvillain24, was just being a troll. I have no problems with constructive and thoughtful criticism, indeed I encourage it! How else would I learn to do better? It's the DISMISSIVE criticism, the insults for insults' sake, that I find droll. People who leave cruel comments, without ever trying to make or learn what it takes to make a film of any level, are being spiteful just because they can. Wishing someone dead because you don't like their free fanfilm is ludicrous.)

I usually don't post asinine comments by ignorant users, but this one made me smile. :) 1) First off, you shouldn't have watched Part 2, if you didn't like Part 1, nor should you have spent even more time commenting, so YOU wasted your time, not ME. :) 2) Our actors weren't from porn, they were biologists. 3) This "disgrace to Hellraiser" was enjoyed for what it was by Clive Barker and was the first film to reference Leviathan since HR2. 4) When you get off your ass & do better, let me know.

toot0toot 3 years ago
As for the movie itself I'd have to rate it a 3 out of 5. It's mostly about the costumes of the Cenobites, really. They need a little work, especially Butterball's. The mask and makeup looked a bit hasty. Needed more blood. The camera work's actually pretty good for an amateur work. Looks kind of artsy/Blair Witch style. This can be good or bad. And what's the name of the Cenobite with the pointy fencepost going through his face?
AnimaSeverem 3 years ago
That would be Spike... Spike was originally a Cenobite from the deleted scenes of HR: DEADER (check the DVD) that I tried to bring back in this fan film... Cheers...

When did Angelique pick up an accent?
She's got a strange Eastern European-sounding accent that she didn't have in part 1.
AnimaSeverem 3 years ago
Part 1? Angelique wasn't in part 1 of HRP, but she was in HR: BLOODLINE... The actress who played her in HRP is actually Italian. The actress who played her in BLOODLINE is actually Chilean, but her lines were dubbed over. The original character in BLOODLINE was a European prostitute (French, possibly)...
jonathankui 3 years ago
I don't remember if it was part 1 or earlier in part 2. It seems the actress was trying to suppress her accent in her first few lines.
AnimaSeverem 3 years ago
You're probably thinking of the Female Cenobite (that's the only name given to her so far), who has a wound in her throat that is stretched open by wires. Angelique is in the fourth movie, Hellraiser: Bloodline.

I dunno if my last comment made it or not but I liked the costumes I mean they were killer not having a real budget or any studio help. I mean seriously that girl who did them should be like I dunno making actual costumes for studio films she kicks ass. Not too big on the main demons hair being seen but still good nonetheless. Alot of work went into this and I applaud you for that. Just I dunno step up the acting a notch its like watching days of our lives. Kinda reminded me of Buffy.

A Hellraiser movie with out Pinhead? Hmmmm...
smedt0meister 3 years ago
From the website FAQ: "this film is intended for die-hard fans of the Hellraiser series, including its films, literature and especially the comics. The Hellraiser mythos goes much father than just Pinhead, but rather extends out to encompass Leviathan and the entire army of Cenobites. Pinhead is but one Cenobite. This film features four of the others as previously seen in the films." Again, though, we will have Pinhead in our next fan film HR: WINTER'S LAMENT becaues the backstory warrants it.
jonathankui 3 years ago
Good luck with that..´I think this is a great horror-movie. I'm also working on a horror movie, almost done with script.
I Think if they ever are gonna make a new Hellraiser movie 8 or 9 or how many there now are, I think they should call you!!!

From the website's "Story" link: "The Hellraiser mythos goes much father than just Pinhead...

That being said, I've relented in the past two years; our next fan film has Pinhead, but not doing anything you haven't seen before. Literally.

HerrGroobee 3 years ago
Pretty damn good for a movie on a budget. The only thing that really bothered me was the acting - mainly that of the Cenobites. It just seems like the woman playing the "lead" Cenobite overacted a little bit. I did, however, like how you handled the whole situation - it must not have been easy to pull of the look of the Cenos as well as you did, so, props for that. After this experience, I'm sure everyone has grown with the experience and I for one would love to see another take on this. Bravo

I'd respectfully recommend that you re-watch Hellraiser 2, 3 and 4, as Pinhead doesn't just fuckin smile, he outright laughs in each. (He may also laugh in the other films, but that was just off the top of my head.)

shame the whole this looks incredibly amaturish. the original Hellraiser probably didnt have much more work put into it and the latter 2 movies definitely didnt. They could have made the whole things looked proper if theyd used a wide angle lens instead of a fecking camcorders regular lens i mean like theyr 30 quid or something, if your going to all that effort you could have put a little more into it...
Trybrow 4 years ago
Biology students generally don't have camcorders lying around that support changing lenses. This was our first attempt at a film, and all we could afford were fecking home camcorders, not even prosumer ones. The original Hellraiser had 5 producers, a film studio and over 100 crew according to IMDB. We had about a dozen biology students, my credit card and zero experience. So a little perspective might be in order here. Sorry your free entertainment was so disappointing. Yours will be better.
jonathankui 4 years ago
It's pretty good, I realize there are a lot of limitations when it comes to making a fanfilm, but I have one complaint.. the actress playing the female cenobite is way too.. fidgety. She's always moving.. like any average human would when they're talking or just standing around. It kindof takes away from the presence imo. I think a cenobite should be more graceful.
