    Yes, nothing better than watching a DVD projected onto a big screen. At teh very least I would expect them to have gotten one of the prints still in existence but alas that's not the case.

    New entry in the series out in the US this week. Reviews are very poor and considering that it was shot in 2 weeks so the rights could be held on to expectations should be low as they get. That said some of the practical effects is supposed to be quite good as are the kills and at 70 minutes I doubt it will out stay it's welcome.

    They change completely in style and tone from the fifth one onwards. The effects are better, acting of higher quality and generally, the films are much darker and morbid - more conventional horror, really. Though I haven't seen the last one out, never bothered, it looked quite poor. The first 4 are great but they're so cheesy it's unbelievable. Love them though. Especially hellraiser 3.
