Clive Barker's feature film debut has "Clive Barker" written all over it, and that's why Hellraiser works so well - it's one man's vision to marry gore and sex, repulsion and glamour. The story is fresh and unashamed of its perversity, Ashely Laurence shines in her first movie role as Kirsty, a bad ass Final Girl up there in the ranks - I mean, she's fighting demons (or angels?) from hell and she holds her own...
When your film has only three characters, you know that those three actors are going to be giving some intense performances, and Dead Calm doesn't disappoint. Sam Neill, Nicole Kidman and Billy Zane play to the rafters and do some really impressive stunts - including under water work, fight and sex scenes AND Nicole Kidman actually steering a yacht in a storm.Support the show
It starts out as just a good old fashioned sorority & fraternity hazing ritual of spending the night inside the infamous Garth Manor where hideous murders occurred and where some of the "gorked out" survivors maybe still live - and it's only going downhill from there. Linda Blair shines as Marti, who is going to go through the wringer tonight along with three other pledges, when unexpected visitors turn this seemingly innocuous Halloween prank into Hell Night!Support the show

Anyway, many voodoo frights await him in this moodily directed, surprisingly political horror flick. Support the show
