It is a very interesting idea to have a group of people be outcasts in a society that “only they can protect....

Originally, the legendary Pinhead character was played by Doug Bradley in the first Hellraiser along with most of its sequels. Clayton will be the first female actor to take on the role following prior movies featuring Stephan Smith Collins and Paul T....
One thing that cannot be denied when it comes to movies is that, no matter how good the plot is, what happens just before the end is what sticks in our memory and makes us remember it afterwards. However, sometimes the audience is not mesmerized by how the story ended, but rather by the uncertainty of that ending, and whether the story will actually continue. At times open endings can be frustrating or unsatisfying, ruining the whole experience for the audience, who will only remember the movie for that last bitter moment....

The Christmas season has come and gone. Now that the snow has settled, most would agree that this year has been tumultuous, to say the least, and it was no doubt reflected in its horror offerings: Men, The Seed, Smile, and Barbarian released alongside remakes of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Hellraiser, the latter two films being known for their depraved content and deeply-unsettling imagery. It wasn’t all doom and gloom, however, Jolly old Saint Nick also got chopped up into a handful of horror titles, from self-aware Santa-slaughters like Christmas Bloody Christmas and Violent Night, to more solemn outings like Shudder’s The Apology....

Ever since its bloom in the 1970s, art-horror has never been the most palatable subgenre for most cinema-goers. Taking on an already polarizing genre, it adds an extra layer of inscrutability or just flat-out “weirdness” to films that are already usually pretty weird. It’s not hard to understand why even the genre’s most commercial, revered films, like Rosemary’s Baby and Black Swan, might not be everyone’s cup of tea. However, art-horror has been undergoing something of a renaissance over the past decade, thanks almost single-handedly to A24....

Over the decades, only a handful of films have caused such distress in audiences that they have earned a reputation of being truly horrifying to watch. Among these are cult classics and fan favorites like The Exorcist and Irreversible, which both caused audiences varying degrees of distress – some to the point of the film being re-edited or outright banned from screening. When a film is so scary that it causes sickness, fainting, and running out of the theater in a panic, one has to wonder: how scary is terrifying?...
