3 stars (Good Enough) Another Clive Barker horror, with some very strange creepy characters and outstanding effects. Forget the story; Pinhead in particular may give you nightmares, and this is what we watch horror flicks for. ~Tom H

4 stars (Very Good) This (and the first sequel) are my favourite horror films. I think they have aged fairly well and it still looks great. The designs were groundbreaking at the time and hold up really well. I watch this on a very regular basis, love it. ~Anon

4 stars (Very Good) It's messed up, has themes of torture and lots of uncomfortable sex- Yet is a fantastic movie. Once accept these things you'll see a fantastic narrative with Interesting characters with distinct motivations- and the practical effects are terrific. ~Sevenhead
