HR3 would have been 10 times better without Terry Farrel in the lead, her acting was atrocious and singlehandedly ruined many scenes, including the pivotal one.

I think they should've stopped after part 2, personally. The first one's pretty fucking overrated, and the rest of 'em seem to have some good plots and decent pacing but just suffer from a lack of overall quality.

 

Mmmmmm...Tromeo & Juliet 2-disc, you say? I'm so fucking there. Got Terror Firmer and Citizen Toxie 2-disc sets already, so now I can see the first "good" Troma flick on digital quality.

 

Definitely need to check out Cemetery Man and From Beyond as well.

Interesting Fact: "Dagon" was originally meant to be the follow up to "Re-Animator" (and was going to be called "The Shadow Over Innsmouth", which the movie is based on) but the studio thought it was too weird, and had no major appeal. Ironically, "From Beyond" is considerably weirder than "Dagon". I'm still waiting for the DVD date to that one being announced.

 

Also, I always thought that "Hellraiser III" was the beginning of the downfall of the series. Here, Pinhead became more of a jokey Freddy Kreugeresque character, and all of the Cenobites were goofy instead of frightning or S&M based.

^^ yeah part three turned the series to a slasher but it seemes that it has gotten back to its roots in the last few films, excluding Hellworld as I have not watched it yet.

With Hellraiser 1 & 2, you knew they were Clive Barker Films.

 

The rest of the series basically featured characters created by Clive Barker.
