The beloved cult-classic, Hellraiser, received a much-anticipated remake. The original movie was released in 1987, and fans of the film were quick to gear up for the remake announced in 2006, but it failed to come to light until 2022.
Hellraiser follows the story of those seeking a gift from the Leviathan that rules over hell. In order to be granted this gift, one must solve a cube repeatedly and use the unlocked blade in each solution upon a sacrificial victim. It's a unique twist in the Horror genre, but not one that doesn't have other movies for fans.
6 Candyman
Bloody Mary isn't the only Horror icon that can be summoned by saying a name in a mirror multiple times. And the Candyman's story is a tragic one that leads to more death and destruction, all for falling in love with someone. Summoning an entity that will kill and torture those in its path is something Candyman and Hellraiser share.
Candyman follows the urban legend that if you say his name several times in a mirror, a ghost will come and murder you. The folktale stemmed from the murder of an African-American man in the 1800s whose crime was falling in love with a white woman. Each movie follows this folktale down the line as murders crop up in mysterious ways. Candyman (1992), Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh, Candyman: Day of the Dead, and Candyman (2021), each movie takes a turn as one person is put at the center of these murders performed by a summoned entity.
Must Read
5 Saw
Torture is a pleasure to Cenobites, and torture is Jigsaw's way of testing someone in order to rehabilitate them. They both have their own unique ways of working to break someone down to their most vulnerable state.
Saw has nine titles, but the first three focus on the original Jigsaw putting his victims through the wringer to see if they can survive his tests. Films 4 through 8 follow the storylines of Jigsaw's apprentices and show glimpses into the original killer's mind through his apprentices. However, unlike Original Jigsaw's tests, their games don't always have a solution that allows their victims to survive. The 9th film is an outlier in the series that has a copycat trying to be the next Jigsaw by claiming to be the original.
Robert Thorne covers electric vehicle innovations, autonomous driving systems, global mobility trends, and automotive engineering developments.
