I adored this video! Clive Barker has been one of my heroes since the mid-90's when I first got into Hellraiser and then his Books of Blood short story collection. Infact, one of big reasons I loved the new Hellraiser movie (I've been calling it a remix! haha) is because so much of it reminds me of Clive's the Books of Blood stories. Down on their luck weirdos (usually marginalized people) getting caught up horrifying situations that are so much bigger than them! I watched an interview thing where the writers basically confirmed this. Although, they mentioned The Damnation Game, Weaveworld etc it still feels very Books of Blood to me. I think it nailed that vibe, which is why I loved Odessa A'zion performance as Riley especially on my rewatch. Although, I do think the remix is pulling more from Clive's The Damnation Game more than Hellraiser in some ways. The whole Faustian bargain is a perfect example of that! When David Bruckner says he understood the assignment about Clive's work I think he absolutely did, but from different areas of Clive's work! He gets some of it, but I still think he could've upped the sex, gore and griminess (the apartment where Riley lived should've been filthy!) But I think that's just him because in The Ritual he made the freaking outdoors so clean! It's literally the cleanest forest in horror haha I like the new Cenobite designs because they're different. I watched a whole freaking video on Ed Martinez's youtube channel about how they made them. It's great check it out! The original Hellraiser is basically part of my DNA at this point. I don't compare the remix (yes, I'm still calling it that) and the original. They're very much separate things to me. I don't compare Doug and Jaime either. I'm just happy that a new Hellraiser movie is being made by people who care about the series. Whether you like it or not, you can definitely tell they care. I just recently watched Hellraiser Hellworld and the ending pissed me off so much. I never get angry at movies like that, but it made me so angry! The ending was overthought, stupid and insulted my intelligence. I'm not over it! Last thing, I know this is going to be one of my favorite videos of yours maybe ever. I love Clive Barker so much and seeing him get recognized like this makes me so happy. I've been a huge of his for such a long time and his influence has largely faded a bit which sucks. With the new Hellraiser his work is finally being talked about again! He has so many amazing novels and short stories that I can't recommend enough. The Hellbound Heart and Books of Blood are great places to start cause they're so short with a low time commitment! Anyway, can't thank you enough for making this Kylie! I know I'll be rewatching this several more times over the next few weeks (probably starting tomarrow!). You did an amazing job! One of my fav youtubers talking about one of my horror idols. Better than I could've hoped. I sincerely mean that, and I retweeted the video haha

An old boss of mine back when I worked for the studios worked with Clive Barker and said he is absolutely the most amazing artist he ever worked with. I honestly feel that he doesn't get enough attention in the horror community.

I love the britishness of the first movie .... I cannot explain it

BEST Intro Ever😆😆 I've Been Missing Myself Some Jessica Rothe In My Life & I Definitely Needed That Tonight 😂🥰

The First Two Hellraisers films are the Best.

Dude a surreal alternate reality drug trip metaphor vibe would’ve been sick!!!

I love how Clive described the original as a story of what would you do for a good fuck LMFAO

If the cenobites really want to get their jollies off torturing people, they should make their victims watch all the hellraiser sequels.

Hands down I find Julia to be a far more interesting villain than even pinhead. Especially with how her arc turns out in the sequel. I very much like to pretend those are the only movies in this franchise that exist. That and the new one. I went weak for some of that cinematography man. Made me wish it played in a theatre!

I love seeing this channel blowing up!

I totally agree about the new movie being dry sex wise. I don't think the actors playing Frank and Julia showed anything nudity wise, but they still had some of the most intense sex scenes in cinema history. Also Frank could just look at someone and it's on. When Julia opened the door and Frank introduced himself in the flashback he exuded sexual energy like radioactive waves following a nuclear bomb. All he said was I'm Frank and it was on. You could feel it through the screen. No actor in the remake came anywhere close to giving off that energy.

lol ‘Deep Throat’ 😂 could you image if they’d used that title??? Hahaha

This was by far the best review of both film's but the new one especially. I felt the same in every way about every character and plot in general. Also all the behind the scenes info was top notch . This was one of the most phenomenal reviews I've ever seen.

Kind of blows my mind that I was only pumped for Halloween Ends and it happens that Hellraiser 2022 blew that movie out of the water.I always prefer the book but both movies were amazing. I also 100% agree the score is the best in all horror.

Hellraiser 87 is everything. Part 2 even more so

This was such a cool, thorough breakdown. Your point about how the remake should have leaned into Riley seeking more of the sensations that drugs give her. That exploration could have made for a REALLY cool movie. I was sort-of expecting that upon the first viewing, but I hadn't thought about it again until you said it. This video is phenomenal. 🙌🖤⛓️

This was SO comprehensive and enjoyable! First video I've ever seen of yours and I'm absolutely in love with your style, intelligence, insight, passion and love of this genre! I adore the fact that you delved into all of those complex themes that were so deeply embedded in the original in the original. I subbed to your channel and I'm excited to see more of your content! Horror has been my life for as long as i can remember, but i vividly remember seeing the first Hellraiser film in the theater when i was 11 and it was the last time i ever really felt scared again. Seeing Frank being ripped apart was like my metaphorical horror cherry being popped and i never looked back, lol. P.S. I wrote my own review when i first saw the re-boot as well. ;)

Merry meet, merry part , merry meet again .

I loved Jamie Clayton in Sese8. It is so great to see her land a role like this. She's amazing, and she nailed the Hellpriest perfectly. This was the first time since the Hellraiser 2 that I felt like I was watching the character from the book. I'm really hoping this acts as a springboard to more roles for her.

Excellent video. It's also worth noting that Clive Barker wrote the source material for Candyman, another effective horror classic. It's quite rare that a contemporary writer has two established horror franchises on his or her resume. Barker also wrote Nightbreed and Lord of Illusions; not quite up to Hellraiser's standard, but perfectly watchable.

Riley is a pretty awful person. At least in the beginning. But I did appreciate the fact that they created an unconventional final girl character. Also, I would've liked to see more of the cenobytes in action in the 2022 version. I liked the remake but it just needs something more. More gore and likeable characters, for instance.

Never expected this sort of video. Very, very well done video essay

This was awesome. I'm glad you finally did a video on the original Hellraiser. It's a favorite of mine. The first 4 are really along with this new reboot. The rest are a slap to the face to a hard-core fan like myself. They weren't even Hellraiser films from the start. Just detective films with pinhead and other Cenobites shoehorned in. No respect for what came before. I wish more of The Books of Blood were made into films. Hellraiser or the novel The Hellbound Heart is just one excellent story within the Books of Blood. So many great stories. Awesome video.

Jamie absolutely nailed it I honestly never thought anyone besides Doug Bradley could ever play the HellPriest but it genuinely worked so well with Jamie in the role she felt so much closer to the original vision Clive had for Pinhead

I agree with 2022 being too clean, even though I know it's impossible for movies today to capture the grittiness of 80s flicks. I LOVED the new pinhead/priest. I think why straight sex tends to be so bland (to me), is that it Iacks passion most of the time.

Loved hellraiser 2022 ! I respect what came before so much. The new cenobites were so menacing . I totally recommend checking it out !

I like the reboot of Hellraiser but I have to give the edge to the original of course for three reasons. One it was darker in tone and really gritty and you actually felt dirty watching it but in a good way, two the practical effects are absolutely stunning and the level of craft and love put into them just shows every time you watch it. Finally reason number three the shock level of it. Everything done in the original has a level of shock to it. The scene where Frank opens the box and the chains rip him apart, the scene where Frank is re animated from Larry’s blood, the first time Julia uses the hammer to kill her first victim is not only shocking it’s brutal especially when she finishes him off. It’s not conventional like the reboot it’s really hard to sit through at points but with Hellraiser even when I’m cringing and slinking in my chair I still can’t look away because it’s a beautiful film to look at.

Damn, this is a top tier breakdown/mini-documentary/commentary. You showed some behind the scenes stuff I didn't even know about and I like the original even more now. Also you convinced me to give the new one a chance. Kinda wrote it off as yet another modern remake of a movie that doesn't need one. But you made the two dimensions mixing up and especially the new Pinhead performance seem really intriguing. Although I am still very disappointed that they got rid of all the sexuality, eroticism and wetness, which you're spot on about. Also, can we expect you to do a vid on Terrifier 2? Really interested in your take, especially with the characters, story and lore. And the gore of course cause it goes places other modern movies just don't. It also has a ton of behind the scenes stuff and interesting, funny and absolutely wholesome interviews

Met Ashley at a con many years ago, had a delightful late night walk with out Chihuahuas on the hotel grounds. Friendly, passionate, and an animal lover❤️

Clive had such sights to show us! lol. Great Review. I Subscribed a while back you have a fan in me!

Original Pinhead I perfer his voice is creepy and badass and British accent

real thorough breakdown, loved this!

I loved your Channel and sassyness! Also your video made me motivated to see the first hellraiser, commenting because i love your vibes and big data stuff lol.

Straight guy here. 100 percent agree the sensuality was sorely missing. And definitely not a bad idea. Riley spiraling and chasing the ultimate drug high would have been the perfect angle to tie in with the addiction plot. Drug high melding in with the distortions of the 2 world overlapping is…chef’s kiss. Beautiful idea. Bummed they didn’t do that. PSA: Traumatized and counter culture straight men are definitely not boring sexuality. But we can be hard to coexist with.

I'm glad I personally didn't see much hate for Jaimie. I was over the fucking moon when they cast her - casting a trans woman was just so perfect for Pinhead and I honestly prefer her version of Pinhead (sorry Doug).

FASCINATING FACT☝🏽 Hellraiser was filmed just around the corner from where my family used to live in Dollis Hill. I was 5 at the time & we had no idea what was going on until we rented the video from Sight&Sound years later & my Dad was like “Waitaminnit...😳” OK, that fact was only fascinating for me 😊 One of my favourite films was filmed in my old neighbourhood 🤘🏽

Yes! You put it perfectly. The new cebobites are too clean and all too clinical in a way in the remake

This was superb. In depth with analysis I hope (sincerely) Clive Barker sees, because it’s that good. Well done and thank you.

I loved the new Hellraiser, great video !

I really enjoyed the new hellraiser,and the original obviously is my favorite but this new one wasn't bad at all,great video by the way like always.

I had no idea Hellraiser was made by a queer man. Definitely explains why I love it so much.

Doug Bradley's version will always be #1 for me. They nailed whole look, attitude and voice with him, and inwas drawn into every scene he was in. That being said, I think Jamie's version is badass as well! I wasn't sure what to expect, especially after the last few Hellraiser movies without DB. But I thought they did an awesome job with her appearance, and she did an awesome job with the voice and just the presence of Pinhead. I hope they do more with Jamie as PH, but maybe not with the Riley character. That character didn't come close to Kirsty IMO.

Now you got me in the mood for some 1987 "Hellraiser", and opened an entire new, heightened appreciation for the film, even more than I had before. (you also nailed everything I feel about the 2022 film - no characters, no vibes, no nothing for me). So in these regards, your video and analysis was - may I say so - indeed sexy. You do tremendous research and wonderful presentation, some of the best videos I have seen on KZfaq. It's thorough and grounded, always brings new aspects, and so much joy. Thank you for all of you do. You're one of a kind!!

Let’s do this 🎉

this was a fantastic analysis on the contrast between the two films. the original just can't be beat! btw love your hairstyle 👍

Great video! I enjoyed the hellraiser from 1987 more than the 2022 remake. I have only seen the first four movies. I havent watched the rest of the franchise because I have heard a lot of KZfaqrs say how the rest of the movies fell flat. I have heard that revelations is the worst one lol. I’ve been debating about watching the rest of the movies but I don’t want to waste my time watching movies that are “bad” lol . I feel like pinhead is such a unique horror icon. I loved the original, pinheads look, and the story was very intriguing. I also loved Julie! Her performance was wonderful! I enjoyed the 2022 remake. I was surprised that it was decent for the most part. It kept me interested. I agree with you about the cenobites looks in the 2022 remake because the looks gave fashion/couture lol if that makes sense. I wanted more oomf to their looks because they were too clean. I didnt enjoy Riley’s character too much. I like the way they explained the box. The 2022 remake wasn’t that bad but the 1987 original reigns superior 💁🏽‍♀️

i didnt think anyone could live up to Doug Bradley, but Jamie Clayton was AMAZING in this franchise. it's kind of a shame that she didnt get to bring a little more personality to Pinhead, but hopefully next time she can.

Excellent comparison video! There's something really interesting about the overall themes of Hellraiser, the way they make hedonism of, if not the, main theme of the franchise is a pretty cool concept. In a way, the Cenobites are sort of symbolic of hedonism as well as sexuality, given they explore the far reaches of experience. There's a lot of different ways that they could take the franchise, which makes it really unique compared to other horror franchises. Also, I agree that making Pinhead a woman in the reboot is actually pretty cool. Sure, Pinhead in the original film is a man and the Female Cenobite is...well, female, but The Chatterer and Butterball didn't seem to have any overtly male or female qualities. They seemed really alien and weird compared to the other two, and I'm glad that they chose that route with Pinhead. I love Doug Bradley as Pinhead, but I think Jamie is fantastic, too. She's particularly good at the voice for Pinhead. It sort of reminds me of Pazuzu from The Exorcist or Satan from Hazbin Hotel: Journey to the Light. Pinhead's voice is very androgynous, it makes her feel more ethereal, mysterious and powerful like the Cenobites should be.

I think a lot of people don’t realize that Riley was not meant to be likeable. The whole time they clearly state that everything is her fault, her lack of judgement is causing everyone around her to “die”. We all sided with the cenobites by the end of the film. So when she makes her choice we all know what’s going through pinhead’s head, and we all agree with them that Riley is not only a pain but she’s caused so much pain just for nothing.

It’s funny I never saw anyone say anything negative about the new interpretation of Pinhead in the new movie. I only saw positive things.

Completely agree with the comparison. For me, the "clean" look to the cenobites in the new film seemed too jarring to the atmosphere of the movie.

I'm a Hellraiser fan since the beginning and you really touched upon it, the whole lust aspect and where lust will lead you. As they're killing together their lust only grows, and that is a very creepy idea! That was Clive's original idea. Pain and desire. I like some of the other sequels but they miss that whole sexual aspect. They forget the point of the first two. And you're right, I've never seen another horror movie where that sexual aspect was so strong.

"Today is basically all about depravity." Salo: Hold my beer.

Yes! I think I agree with all of your points, especially the bit about the new version being very dry. The original is definitely moist and squelchy and I love that about the original.

Tw ; loss and drug use Man, hellraiser 2022 was a wild experience for me. My mom was on her deathbed in the hospital, and I came home one night and tried Kratom for the first time, got super super high, and watched hellraiser 2022 and that was a trippy experience to say the least.

There are few things that I think that I may have not liked. In the original they blur the lines between pleasure and pain, and the inherent warning is that you can take pleasure too far and to be careful how far you reach. In 2022's Hellraiser there is a clear segregation between it and a few other things --- and given that, who would ever elect for pain even if there was anything positive to gain? With clearly defined choices presented by Leviathan it gets less murkier, which sort of ruins the mystique in my eyes.

Maybe I'm just getting jaded & pessimistic in my old age, but I just have NO desire to watch any more remakes or re-quels. I'm content with the original continuity of franchises that I've been watching for the last 40+ years🤷

Are you going to do Terrifier or Terrifier 2????

I loved your idea of how the 2022 version could have explored the theme of addiction. If they went the direction you described, that would have been bananas and such a fresh take on the material! At first I liked that they made Riley a drug addict, it seemed very fitting for a Hellraiser movie. I thought it would work well thematically, a character always trying to stimulant themselves paired with the cenobites who are all about exploring sensations and thresholds of pain. Sadly, the new one didn't go that deep with it. Overall I found the movie enjoyable, but it fell short in certain ways.

I love Hellraiser, but I've never thought it was sexy. I always thought it was surprisingly tame

I like both films. I was surprised by the initial backlash about Pinhead being played by a female too. If you're a big fan of the series or Barker, I figured you'd know that Pinhead was androgynous originally. I though Jamie Clayton was great as that character.

I love the original Hellraiser, it´s one of my favorite movies and I consider it a great movie beyond the genre. It has something special, it oozes intelligence, poetry, mysticism and sex. The new film is not bad at all, but for me it is just ok, it doesn´t make me feel something deep inside as the original can.

New to your channel, gonna enjoy sifting thru your content.

I really didn’t expect to watch all of this but you really did great on this video. I do think having boy friend in the final showdown in the original Hellraiser was pointless but I do think he does add to the movie showing a parallel of a more wholesome, healthy relationship compared to the depravity of Frank and Julia.

I like thinking of Larry and Frank as opposites. Larry as the kind, lovely and caring father. While frank is the perverted selfish bastard. Also creates the clash between worlds even more evident. Kirsty and Larry as the innocent ones, Julia and Frank as the monsters.

I admit being sceptic beforehand about choosing her for the role, but she did a great job, even though the movie is not as good as the original, but that's not due to her. I would enjoy seeing her again in the role.

The whole movie is just right from the core like it should be, thrilling and smart, you really know what you're talking about... Greetings.

The new Hellraiser didnt make me feel... icky enough

I agree and great video 👍

I enjoyed the remake for what it was, but agree it didn't hold a torch to the OG

I liked the “transformation” scene at the end. I was reminded of the “leviathan” scene from 2 where Channard is transformed

The iconic classic original directed by Clive Barker is easily the best in my opinion. It had a raw punk like attitude about it :-)

Ashley Laurence is a hand chiseled goddess shaped and crafted to be perfection.

I don't agree with how you mention how both pinheads play their role with the non/sexuality. For me it does not make it a factor of how they both play that role. They both play pinhead great and in their own way. Also, straight male are not boring. It all depends in the individual, because sometimes it is hard find a partner to accept you in all aspects. Haha

Yh, I can't believe ppl are complaining about wokeness in the 2022 Hellraiser like it's still a hot take. People obviously have not read the original novel or know about anything other than the 1987 movie. So how big of a fan are they really.

After hearing your thoughts on the comparison of both Pinhead portryals, I'm gonna give the remake another shot. I wasn't a fan of the movie in general when I watched it, and I did go in with the bias of, "Jamie isn't as imposing as Doug.". But taking what you've said, if I go into the movie with the mindset of her portraying Pinhead as more of a Slaaneshi deamonette, then I might find that she was more suitable to the role than he was. Uh... for those who aren't aware of what a Slaaneshi daemonette is; its a Warhammer 40k thing, which can be a rabbit hole if you aren't careful

PG-13 for Hellraiser?! I knew about Lussier and Farmer linked to the Remake, but never knew about the PG-13 stance by the lowly, disgusting Weinsteins! Really informative video!!!!!👍👍

Love the original. The new one is super mediocre. The main character is truly annoying. Cenobites lacks charisma and not being scary at all. The new movie is a bit boring and all the interesting things happen by the end. It isn’t horrible but it’s definitely feel like low cost movie with not particularly good screenplay and direction. I awaited more.

I've only seen the og Hellraiser and really enjoyed it. Heard alot of mixed things about the remake but I might check it out when I get Hulu. Love these types of videos

As a huge fan of the original 3 Hellraiser movies, I have to say thet the 2022 remake ist absolutely amazing. And I don't care that Pin-Head is now different. In the books Pin-Head is neither male nor female

I agree the original is sexier, but I LOVED everything else about the reboot. Odessa A'zion is amazing in this movie, I really like her. And what to say about Jamie Clayton... she's so great!

The original hellraiser is much better. 😀👍

Thanks for the commentary. Hellraiser 2022 didn't quite grab me, but it was definitely watchable.

good video

I agree with you on the remake. They can take bigger chances with a sequel to the remake. Cool video.

The only thing I didn't like about the new Pinhead was her voice. They put so much processing on it that I couldn't understand a word.

The remake for me was missing the grossness, the icky feeling, the sex, more likeable characters, the commanding presence of Pinhead and needed a lot more gore. Hellraiser movies in terms of gore should be making the SAW movies look tame by comparison. It should be as if Jigsaw witnessed what the cenobites were doing to people and he tried (emphasis on TRIED) to emulate some of it with his contraptions... I should be feeling as though I shouldn't be watching the movie. That to me is a Hellraiser film. It needs to get under the skin, so to speak (pun). I think going sexually deviant/torturous with the new female Pinhead, having her be a sexual fantasy or even a love interest of one of the characters (male or female I don't care) would have been better, and at the end showing her go full gore mode with elements of a Doug Bradley esque commanding presence, forceful words, and brutality on a level we haven't seen yet. Perhaps dishing out the pain on sexual parts first which we haven't seen done before. And yeah you could say that would never happen, that it's too obscene for film, and I agree, but, this is a Hellraiser movie. It kind of needs to explore down that path or it shouldn't even be made really. It should be pushing boundaries. It at least needs to be otherworldly gory. Pleasure+pain is supposed to be the cenobites game, and so they would be getting sexual at times as we have seen in other Hellraiser sequels. I also appreciate the costume design of the remake, though, I do miss some of the black leather. Maybe they could have used half black leather and half of the new skin designs to satisfy both worlds. All in all I rate the 2022 Hellraiser pretty high, I just think it needed more oomph in several categories and it wouldn't have been that difficult. It needs to be almost taboo in a way, not normalized into another teen slasher flick.

I know this video is old... but your buns with the orange scrunchies are a whole VIBEA

the problem for me in this film was Riley found her annoying the rest was top notch

The best alternate title for Hellraiser is "What Woman Will Do For A Good Fuck"

Great video - as a queer person, I'm surprised myself that neither film speaks to me on any level, but I thought the remake was particularly god awful. I gained new respect for the original after seeing that monstrosity. Both Pinheads are great though and can stand on their own side by side without need for further, unnecessary comparisons.

I want to fall in love in hell

I would say the new film is just another Hellraiser story. It can definitely stand on it's own but I don't see it as a remake Outside of casting a new Pinhead. I can see reboot in a way, but without erasing what has come before.

Personally, I love the new designs for the cenobites. I think it really played with that idea that they can’t distinguish the difference between pain and pleasure and I think that was a very smart move. However, what dialogue or interactions that were done that did not involve the cenobites, I unfortunately was not really interested

The original hands down in every way.

It’s Jamie for me 🐐

I didn't really know the actor that played the new hell priest was trans but then again I don't pay attention to that sort of thing, I'm more focused on if they look or act the part. Ian McKellen who's gay plays magneto in the X-Men franchise and I thought he did a damn good job so there's that..

Overall the original Hellraiser is better. So is Hellbound H2.

I don't have any problem with Pinhead being changed to a Woman, however, I think an even better turn of events would be if this Hell Priestess isn't, "Pinhead," or the same Pinhead... if you know the Comics, you know that Kirsty and Pinhead end up changing places... Pinhead becomes a Human and Kirsty becomes the Hell Priestess, (complete with pins in her head and all, lol.) And remember, in Hellraiser Judgement, Pinhead, (the Male Pinhead,) was turned into a Human by God as a punishment for murdalating that Angel Chick, lol. Now, obvis, it wouldn't be exactly like the Comics, since, if they would go this route, Pinhead would already be Human, so he couldn't exactly switch places with Kirsty like it was in the Comics... however, I still think it would be super cool if they would reveal that Hellraiser 2022 isn't actually a, "Reboot," and that they would make a Prequel to Hellraiser 2022 and show that Kirsty did somehow become the Hell Priestess we see in Hellraiser 2022... I just think that would be awesome, hehehe. 😁

Kirsty Cotton is my third favourite final girl. The first being Ripley from Alien and second is Ginny from Friday the 13th part 2. The original Hellraiser wins easily here. I bought a limited edition metal case bluray set. With the first 3, a number of years ago. The second one is my favourite. I think I’d probably put this new one, behind the first 4, maybe even 5. I don’t feel I’d ever watch it again. When they first announced that the lead would be a woman. I thought cool , because the one thing I remembered from reading the short novella, a decade ago. Was that the hell priest has a child like feminine voice. And that this would be more book accurate take. But Jamie Clayton, does not sound feminine at all imo. Her look, came across as very cgi looking to me. But I think it’s just the lighting 🤔. The pins with the diamond jewel tips, is accurate though. I find Doug Bradley, with the jet black eyes. Very ferocious looking and more intimidating. If I ran into the pair of them, I know which one I’d be more scared of. And agreed with the cenobites, they come across as androids in the new one. The original and my most favourite one, the chatterer. Kicks the fucking shit out of the remake chatterer. I wasn’t a fan of the new puzzle box either. And it didn’t explain how that plain iron fence, could keep the cenobites out. The house had 13 ghosts similarities. If I was gonna do a top notch reboot, I’d recall Ashley Laurence in a heartbeat. And on a side note, I’m not surprised Barker said he’s influenced by Dario Argento. All the American horror directors heavily watched the Italian stuff. Mainly the Mario Bava and Dario Argento films. Wes Craven obviously did that scream opening. As a tasteful homage to the first act in the Mario Bava film Black Sabbath. Where as Sean.S.Cunningham, just blatantly ripped off The Mario Bava film, Bay of Blood. The entire setting at the lake, attractive people killed one by one etc. the film pretty much setup the American slasher movie scene. Although he admitted to copying the formula from Halloween, one has to see Bay of Blood before a Friday the 13th. And also Friday the 13th part 2, even directly copied two of the kills from Bay of Blood. The machete to the face and the double impalement of the boy and girl in the bed. As always, I look forward to your next vid. Always well made 👌🏻
