Clean out the Netflix Queue: Hellraiser & Haunter

Part of what happens when you commit to watching everything on your netflix queue is that you immediately regret all the stupid crap you put on there. Case in Point: Hellraiser is a terrible, terrible movie. From what I've seen so far, this series is solely based on the fact the Pinhead is a really cool character design. Unfortunately, the guy has about 3 lines of dialogue in the whole movie. the other 89 minutes is filled with awful acting and people acting in ways that no human has acted ever. This is a movie where you can't wait for everyone to die just so the movie will be over.

F-

On the other hand, sometimes you find that you've put a truly hidden Gem on your list. Haunter is a fantastic ghost story from director Vincenzo Natali and starring Abigail Breslin. This movie has moved onto my top 10 horror movie list. I put it on with the idea that I would just have it on in the background, but I got sucked in very quick and soon I was jumping at every noise I heard. I'd love to tell you all about it, but I won't. Just search for it in Netflix and hit play.

A+
