One of the very best slashers of all time that manages to capture your mind and attention. This movie makes you feel like your part of the horror and truly picture the kills. A lot of people probably would be surprised to go back and see just how little gore is seen in this movie but how many kills you swear you can remember seeing in full gruesome detail. Michael Myers movements and expressionless behavior just adds to feeling of no remorse to a level where it could even come across as supernatural. Overall I love this movie and feel like it was always be a timeless classic for the horror genre. 10/10
This was a fun watch with friends but I would not say its ground breaking or even a solid addition to the Hellraiser franchise. The visuals, art direction and score are all what made this movie a little better then a lot of other modern horror movies and this was likely thanks to Clive Barker's amazing hellish design that's presented in the source novel. My major disappointment is that the characters are just not likeable or relatable. This is important because of the thriller/mystery aspect going on. This leaves us often watching upper class drug addicts run around with little to no direction bumping into each other and some how still solving pieces of the puzzle despite their lack of mental acuity. Id stick with the original or the book on this one but its still a "fun" movie to laugh at and appreciate a few scenes with friends. 5/10
The first Horror movie I seen as a child and still defend to this day. Its amazing ability to make you jump back in your seat and in more recent years laugh till you run out of breath is truly a testament to what a great movie this is.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere this movie achieves. It might be unintentionally created by the score, acting and filming techniques but the movie really make you feel like you are having a drug fueled nightmare or stuck in sleep paralysis.

The definition of a late 2000's horror movie.. goofy practical effects blended with PlayStation 2 level CGI. Still this movie was made back when directors dared to have original ideas and felt more art driven then money.
7/10
I have not found a movie in a very long time that is capable of creating such a fleshed out atmosphere as The Shining. I am shocked to say that this movie takes that atmosphere and emotion seen in The Shining and amps it up to new levels not yet succeeded sense this movies debut. The score, the lighting and the actors performances are all spot on.

This show serves as yet another reflection of television and movies made in 2022 without feeling like middle earth at all. Years from now we will look back and laugh at how pathetic woke movies and television shows where when we noticed we always had great movies with characters of all backgrounds and gender identities without having to smother people with it. I'd even argue shows like these are going to be seen as pandering and destructive in the near future.

It was definitely a fun movie but it was hard to ignore how "powerful" the main character was. They literally made all the characters by the end of movie bow down to her and tell her how much smarter and stronger she was the whole time despite not being a skilled hunter more less at all in the whole duration of the movie. She also almost drowned in a mud pit that she later tricked predator into falling into. This movie had some really cool visuals and slightly comedic moments but I cant help but think it could have easily been an 8 or 9 with a little less modern day failed writing techniques. Final thoughts would be that its a fun movie not a great one. They should have taken a tasteful alien approach to a strong female lead instead of the 2022 approach and don't even get me started on the hatchet on a string physics.
