I didn't misunderstand it, but there is a vocal contingent of people who hated the later Hellraiser movies because "Pinhead" was only in them for a few minutes....LOL. Granted, the later Hellraiser movies weren't great, but there problem wasn't the lack of a character who played just as small a part in the originals he did in those films. It was that 5, 6, and 7 were adapted from non-Hellraiser stories and had very little to do with the themes of the first movies.
It was all downhill for the series after the second movie.Now you'd never call Erwin a "Wussy"
Nor label his working day "cushy"
But you might have to question
His endless obsession
With superpositional pussy.

I really like the first Hellraiser film. I even like the 2nd. From 3 onward though they start with garbage and get progressively worse. Seeing the franchise wither on the vine of straight to DVD movies makes a mercy killing too little too late.
The thing is, when discussing horror movies with my friends, I've always maintained that above any other horror movie, the first Hellraiser would benefit from a well funded remake. Remakes more often than not turn out badly, but this is a case where it could be justified. There is a LOT of imagination in this movie that is restricted by the time it was made and the money they spent on it. A movie about a mongoloid killing camp counselors isn't going to change a change enormously with more money and technological advances, but cenobites bring pleasure and pain from hell to Earth sure can.

The saw movies are pure torture porn but you gotta hand it to them with their ability to weave the story thru seven movies and fill in a little bit of backstory of jigsaw in everyone until it all comes full circle with very few of any reasons.

i just think the horror genre is dead honestly
maybe its just me but i think its pretty damn hard to try to recapture something that was basicly original
take nightmare on elm street for example
imo i believe they showed freddy way to much because in the original he was more like a shadowy type of killer.................................................. ..........................
