  • DIRECTOR: Clive Barker
  • ACTORS: Andrew Robinson, Clare Higgins, Ashley Laurence, Sean Chapman, Oliver Smith, Robert Hines, Doug Bradley
  • PLOT: An evil pervert (Chapman) escapes a hellish dimension and convinces his sister-in-law (Higgins) to lure victims to assist in his resurrection, ticking off the extra-dimensional beings as a result.
  • EVALUATION: If you ever wondered whether there is more to this film than the iconic "pinhead" imagery, the answer is a resounding 'no'.
  • WRITING: I am baffled that this was adapted from Barker's novella since it doesn't really have much of a plot.
  • FILMING: When it focuses on makeup and visual effects and does not rely much upon acting, pretty good!
  • BEST PART: The admittedly disgusting reassembly of Frank.
  • TRIVIA: Andrew Robinson is better known to me as Garak from Star Trek: Deep Space 9.
  • STINGER: Unexpected giant Jesus statue topples out of the closet.
