Love and the Demonic Psyche
Love and the Demonic Psyche
A hallucinatory retelling of the Greek myth about Pan and Syrinx's brutalist romantic love. Inspired by the short films of Maya Deren, Curtis Harrington and the art of Rosaleen Norton and Brett Whiteley, 'Love and the Demonic Psyche' channels French poet Arthur Rimbaud's proclivity for a derangement of the senses, culminating in a Cocteau style blood painting invocating the horned God of Panic. Encompassed in psychedelic visuals and Moroccan trance music, this film should be viewed in the spirit in which it was made.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Watched this with an open mind & had to say it was very very good, though not as good as Inferno, was & still is a great & epic sequel! The film centers around a man & his wife who have a car accident in they crash & go off into the river, he lives but his wife drowns & dies! But things starts to slowly piece together as it wasn't as simple as this man thought it was! He starts to lose his touch with reality & other things start cropping up in his life as after having a head injury he starts to remember things which actually happened, he even remembers the infamous Lament Configuration Puzzle Box & remembers opening up the gates to hell with Pinhead & the cenobites in tow!The film had a dreary & unsettling vibe about it. It was complex but easy to follow. Though it was a bit confusing here & there, I did enjoy it & found the revelations in this film to be pretty airtight until the big reveal. The effects were great as always, bloody & gory as they came! The story itself has some interesting things about it & also kept you into the story!Though it wasn't as good as Inferno it was bloody close to being on par! 9.0/10

The original Hellraiser was an innovative, twisted bit of filmmaking that stands up today as one of the great horror films. This one is certainly a mixed bag as it's quite watchable and has lots of screwy visuals; despite the fact it feels a little off-kilter and for the most part doesn't make much sense. What we get in HELLSEEKER is a series of events, where some kind of violence or demonic activity occurs, only for Trevor to wake, finding it was all a dream, or a hallucination. Sometimes we have him waking up after he has already awoken. Wow, dreams within dreams.All these non-events are supposed to be deep, showing us that Trevor isn't a nice guy,there are some interesting ideas (and I really like the tone they set in the opening, but it doesn't last); but it's only really for fans of the series.The other films in the series are: Hellraiser, Hellbound: Hellraiser II, Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, Hellraiser: Bloodline, Hellraiser: Inferno, Hellraiser: Deader, Hellraiser: Hellworld.

Hellraiser: Hellseeker sees the welcome return of the very lovely Ashley Laurence as Kirsty, but unfortunately she's not really in it for very long, quickly disappearing into the murky depths after her husband Trevor (Dean Winters) crashes their car in a river. The remainder of the film centres around Trevor as he struggles to remember the events leading up to the accident, tries to convince the police that he didn't kill his wife on purpose, suffers from a series of terrifying episodes that make it hard for him (and us) to tell what is real and what is imagined, and occasionally bumps into old Pinhead (Doug Bradley).One of the most predictable and overused twists in horror is the 'they were dead the whole time' revelation as seen in films like Carnival of Souls, Jacob's Ladder, Reeker, The Sixth Sense, Dead End, and The Others. Hellraiser: Hellseeker also goes with this trite revelation, despite the previous chapter in the franchise, Hellraiser: Inferno, utilising a similar plot device (slightly adapted so that the main character was revealed to be forever trapped in his own personal hell). If you've already seen Inferno, you'll get a strange sense of deja vu with Hellseeker. While it's not a completely unwatchable movie, it does prove a rather disappointing one simply because it offers virtually nothing new to fans of the series.

Husband Trevor and wife Kirsty are traveling along in a Volvo, having a lively conversation, then a lengthy kiss. Unfortunately, neither of them was looking at the road ahead of them. They run off the road into a small river. Trevor gets out. Kirsty gets free of her seat belt, but the door that Trevor opened wide for her mysteriously closes. Trevor wakes in hospital later, but Kirsty did not make it back with him.Trevor returns to work and gets a barrage of questions rather than any sympathy at all. His female boss expects Trevor to return to his habit of servicing her. She and his coworkers remind him that they are always being recorded.Kirsty's body is not found. Eventually the police investigation contacts Trevor, and he has some explaining to do. Trevor continues his wayward ways, and the hallucinations start. He seeks help from psychiatry and from acupuncture. However, both of his caregivers turn out to be self-delusions. Or were they? The film takes a few turns on that point.Things get much worse for Trevor, but do they ever get better?-----Scores----- Cinematography: 6/10 Fuzzy, VHS quality over Netflix.Sound: 7/10 The score is somewhat helpful in setting a creepy tone, and accentuating painful moments.Acting: 5/10 Dean Winters is a more or less serviceable supporting actor on television, but has no business being the lead in a feature film. The supporting players were not all that memorable. It was nice to see a more mature Ashley Laurence in a short but nice performance.Screenplay: 5/10 The story for this film is reminiscent of HR5, in that it seems to be about the tortured conscience of one particular wrong doer. It is on the simple side, so the quality depends on the execution, and the acting was not all that good. Pinhead in this film is just a prop, not really an essential character. This film has clearly lost the mission, and should call itself something else.
