HELLRAISER: REVELATIONS [2011]

The 9th movie in the Hellraiser franchise was publicly ridiculed by Clive Barker himself, calling it not good enough to come out of his own butthole.
Director Victor Garcia's Hellraiser: Revelations is an insult to the series, it's creator and it's fans.  Written, produced and shot in just a few days over a month doesn't lessen the low expectations of this shitfest.  Instead they take all the gothic disgusting class out of the world and turn it into a cheap slasher flick with hokey villain monologues at the end ala Scream and a musical score that sounds like it's doing nothing to hide that it's a Marco Beltrami knock-off.  On the plus side, Pinhead looks something like Matt Lucas if he had slammed his face into a pin cushion, which is good for a slight titter.

I'd very much enjoy shoving Matt Lucas'face into a pin cushion.
