Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MUST for Horror movie fans!
Review: What can I say about this edition? It's just perfect as a specimen of how horror movies were once made... No computer effects - just great makeup....BUT when you get to watch such a movie in DVD crystal clear form unfortunately most of the make-up magic is gone. It's not so scary any more... but still I don't think that anyone would settle for bad VHS picture just because the make-up shows it's flaws! The sound and picture is excellent, so is the metal box and all the goodies included.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Is this true? I would give 6 stars but...
Review: When I first read about the release of the Hellraiser/Hellbound: Hellraiser II - Special Edition I was very happy. I love the original movie and the sequel, I even would die to see DIRECTOR'S CUTS for the third and fourth part. And that's the point...

I WANT TO GET MY HANDS ON DIRECTOR'S CUTS!

But the problem with this Hellraiser release is that it might be the same lousy version they put in the limited LaserDisc Box which I bought for over $100 years ago. Will they ever learn? Who wants such highly CUT versions of the best horror movies of all times? I can't believe that people give this release 5 stars. Does anybody ever heard Clive Barker's Commentary? He comments on every scene the MPAA forced him to cut out of the movie. Why can't we get an UNRATED release with all scenes?

Hellraiser 2 will hopefully be UNCUT but it won't be the Director's Cut which was released on LaserDisc a few years ago.

Be very carefull with this release...

Don't get me wrong. I would give 6 stars not if it would be possible but if AnchorBay would release the correct versions of the movies.
