It's terrible.<br /><br />I agree that a remake is not necessary, but this is definitely a series that could go on with different characters and a different stories that deal with Hell and the Cenobites. Movies along the same vein as Inferno and Hellseeker, for instance.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and I'm glad you enjoyed!Michele (TheGirlWhoLovesHorror)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03309044766117909683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459781420607928525.post-81995469095077453422015-10-23T00:23:49.941-05:002015-10-23T00:23:49.941-05:00Wow, sounds like a real sad way to end a good seri...Wow, sounds like a real sad way to end a good series. I heard the production on this one was really rushed and pretty much done by the studio to keep the rights (as another poster mentioned). Sad that it came to that. Part of me would like to see the franchise revived in a way closer to the original two films. There are lots of interesting avenues to explore with the box, the hell dimension and the cenobites. We don't even need a remake to start it off, just a new film that gets the ball rolling the right way again.<br /><br />Thanks again for the coverage of this series. It was fun to read them all, and you did a fine job.Roman J.

There's certainly a lot that could be done with the story, you're right about that, though, so hopefully if someone does get ahold of it for a remake, they do a good and honorable job.<br /><br />Thank you!

Or have those little factoids been so discussed we now assume everyone knows them?Serpenthropehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16419505237938976077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459781420607928525.post-59919859683080278002015-09-15T09:26:22.400-05:002015-09-15T09:26:22.400-05:00Hellraiser strikes me as one of the few classic ho...Hellraiser strikes me as one of the few classic horror movies that could benefit from a remake. The original was great, but it had a limited budget and was Clive Barker's first feature film. I think there are interesting possibilities that could be explored in a remake with a slightly revamped story. More of the cenobites and less of Larry (of the central characters, he's the only one that's just dull).<br /><br />Anyway, I've enjoyed your coverage of the franchise. Looking forward to the next one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459781420607928525.post-78055290997938346982015-09-13T22:06:42.027-05:002015-09-13T22:06:42.027-05:00Such a shame the series ended like this.

If the remake does eventually come to pass, hopefully it's a decent watch.<br /><br />As well as Hellraiser, you already tackled the Puppet Master franchise, didn't you? Great job! I've really enjoyed these reviews.Chris Hewsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11566568274862884325noreply@blogger.com
