By the late 1980s there was something of a stigma attached to British horror films (parodied by Edgar Wright in the Grindhouse (2007) faux-trailer Dont, where Will Arnett talks over the silent cast the whole time). So, rather than drawing attention to being filmed in Britain (an early scene features Battersea Power Station, memorably trashed by Daleks in a 1964 Doctor Who episode), theres an incredibly half-hearted effort to suggest that Clive Barkers macabre masterpiece is set in America. Supporting actors are dubbed with Yankee tones, and the only unadulterated English people are villains Clare Higgins (literal stepmother from hell, Julia) and Doug Bradleys Lead Cenobite Pinhead. Its still weird seeing New York cops in Hellraiser II going over the British-looking Cenobite-haunted house (actually in Dollis Hill). Its about as convincing as the red phone box stuck on a California highway in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999). So maybe it shouldnt be on this listbut please dont tear my soul apart over it. Giveaway British Character Actor: Aside from Higgins and Bradley, the second one features a truly bravura demented performance from Kenneth Cranham.
