This is coming out sept 27th I think and looks pretty interesting. Its going to have four dics and the first 3 movies. Costing only £22.49 as well from play.com. I havent actually seen any of the movies, as I've been holding out for this boxset. So... will any one else be buying this and is it worth it???

"We'll tear your soul apart"

I used to have an exact replica of the hellraiser cube, complete with the ability to open a gateway to hell.

I got it confiscated one friday night, when during a long session with it, my mate got his face ripped off which caused the staining of my mums fine indian rug.

Fair dos, Defoe's a really good actor, but I preferred Dennis Hopper in the first Speed because the film was just so damn tense.

Now that does sound good. I've seen pics about 'Tortured Souls', and yeah, dis**turbing is the word id chose to use!!!! Creepy sh*t.

Speed 2 was awful, it's no wonder Jan De Bont got slated for Tomb Raider 2, that guy really can't direct sequels.

As for Hellraiser, I just learnt that there are two new Hellraiser films, and from what I've read, They sound like two of the stupidest films of the series to date. Hallraiser: Deader sees a reporter going to investigate a cult called the "Deader" who I’m guessing, probably worship Pinhead or something equally as dumb.

The next one however goes even further. Hellraiser: Hellworld is about a group of kids who unlock Pinhead from his hell after completing the puzzle box on an online gaming website. I'll leave you a little to let the stupidity of that idea sink in.

Luckily not all is lost, Clive Barker who wrote and directed the original Hellraiser is also going to write and direct "Tortured Souls", a movie based on a short story he wrote for a group of action figures he designed for Todd McFarlane, who look fairly similar to the Cenobite of the Hallraiser films, only a lot more disturbing. Should hopefully be good.

I guess. I suppose I only think of it because I've watched it about 6 times on itv at some stage. And I've only seen the first one about twice. You gotta say though, that willem defoe acted every one else off the screen. He makes a great badguy. I suppose thats why he was cast as the green goblin in spiderman.

The film should've never been made though. Bullock made the huge mistake of associating herself with that piece of crap after Reeves refused it. I hated it, not a patch on the first, and moreso, the leeches thing just annoyed the hell out of me.

I cant understand why speed 2: cruise control is in the bottom 100. Thats an alright movie. Willem Defoe is a great bad guy in it.

Fair play. And Catwoman is ranked in the Bottom 100 on IMDB. I thought it was watchable. Not that good, but there's films a lot worse that should be on there rather than Catwoman.

I dont always agree with the IMDB ratings. Sometimes its just pruddissh people who slate movies. Or people who've never seen a movie made outside of hollywood in their lives. For example the straight to video release of the dentist gets about 4/10 on average. But I've watched it recently and thought it was quite good. Its pretty gory and disgusting and the acting isn't bad for a movie like this. Its directed by Brian Yuzna. Im still waiting to get the sequel, which is meant to be even more disgusting.
