No need to hide, Piranha 3DD a pretty solid movie. Its only big flaw appears near the end... If you know of whom I speak Lets just say I don't need to be reminded of X Factor or any of those shows in a horror movie

Yeah! Ok. I lied about Speed 2 Cruise Control being better than Speed.

Return of the Blind Dead is my favourite of de Ossorio's Blind Dead series.

If i'm honest i couldn't choose between the two sequels as to which was best. I've watched Return of more times though.*

*This may be because i've owned it for far longer. The R1 Anchor Bay two film set was one of my very first dvd's way back at the tail end of 1998.

Might be one of a few people but hellraiser 2 is better than the first.

I think Bizarre_Eye would agree with you.

Whilst I do prefer the first, Hellraiser II is definitely one of my favourite sequels.

Double agreement on the first two Hellraiser sequels. Hellbound is better than the original, while the third one, though not (quite) up there with Hellbound, also trumps the original.

Bloodline was an interesting concept. There was room for improvement however I'm aware it suffered what I call the "Superman 2 treatment" where the studio **** with a film during filming or afterwards. In this case, I believe they began the re-edit after the fact. So based on lousy studio interference, I'll let it off the hook as far as its weaknesses in the editing go. Good overall.

I watched Inferno (no, not THAT Inferno ) immediately after Bloodline and have had no desire to revisit it... Maybe I should though. But the story I remember hating...

I've seen none of the further sequels.
