"It's 1957, the small mining town of "Hellgate" experiences an inexplicable force culminating in a savage attack on the local beauty, Josie. In 1989, four college friends unearth the evil that lies buried in the ghost-town of "Hellgate" as they begin to experience the special brand of hospitality given by Josie and her zombie friends... can they survive?"

Can they hell! Good mindless zombie flick. Don't expect too much and you won't be dissapointed.

"When Frank Cotton solves the mystery of a chinese puzzle box he enters the world of the cenobites. A world where these cruel sadists thrive on pain. Later, restored to life by the blood of his brother Larry, Frank rises to feed on the life force of others. When larry's wife agrees to provide the sacrifices he needs, the spills, chills and thrills are just beginning. Written and directed by the brilliant Clive Barker, Hellraiser is a film that cannot be ignored."

Absolute genius. The first glipse of Mr. Pinhead is superb.

A soul chilling nightmare, Clive Barker's 'Hellbound' ressurects the darkest horrors of Hell unleashed in his award winning horror epic 'Hellraiser'."

Another superb film. Unfortunately they used the tagline - "It will tear your soul apart... again". Apart from that it's great.

"Joey Summerskill is an ambitious TV reporter whose life is changed forever when she witnesses the horrific death of a tormented teenage boy, torn apart by bloody chains. Determined to find the truth behind this gruesome vision, she discovers the Lament Configuration box which opens the doors to the Cenobites' demonic world of pleasure and pain. Once again Pinhead walks the earth, creating a new army of Cenobites from the transmuted flesh of his victims... His one desire - to reclaim the box and free himself forever from the powers of Hell."

Guess what. He didn't quite make it. But that did open the door for another sequel. Hellraiser IV. It will tear your socks apart.

"A corrupt, drug-using, neglectful detective (Craig Sheffer), with an affinity for solving puzzles, chases a killer who leaves the finger of a child, who is still alive, at the scene of every crime. But every murder and every clue leads the detective back to one man: himself."

Wow, just when you thought it was safe to stick dozens of needles in your face, another Hellraiser classic comes along.

They run aground on Dog Island, which owes it's name to the vicious hounds kept by the only inhabitants, an old woman and her son, whom no one has ever seen. Searching for shelter, they keep seeing the grisly remains of all kinds of furry animals. But worse sights are in store for them. For they have yet to meet the woman's son, and discover for themselves the reason she has kept him there..."
