The reshoots probably had a lot to do with its silliness tbh.
STOOPID.

Hellraiser (1987)

Clive Barker's brilliant story of forbidden love with gritty murders, gore and Cenobites.

I was impressed how nice the Arrow Blu-Ray looked. Sadly the HD means the London burbs look even less like New York then they ever did.

Were they meant to look like New York? I never realised the original was even set across the pond.

From a Clive Barker interview with The Guardian

"They got us to relocate the story to America, and overdub some of the accents – which I didn’t feel great about because the original story had been so English."

I think to us Brits, the film is unmistakably British and no amount of dubbing is going to make us think it's in the US, do they even have houses like that over there?

I thought it was my eye sight that was going, glad someone else picked up on that.

This. I'd never clocked it. The film looks distinctively British.

Ahem.
Regarding Black Widow, I was wondering if there would be a time if there was Marvel fatigue. This was meant to be out last year and this was coming after those 3 Mini-Series.

Or is it just a bad film period?

I got Marvel fatigue half way through Avengers Infinity War.
