10 Terrible Horror Movies (You Couldn't Stop Thinking About)
5. Hellraiser: Revelations
Hellraiser: Revelations might sound like just another whatever Hellraiser sequel, but it's so, so much worse than that.
This, the ninth film in the series, was rushed into production by Dimension Films in 2010 to stop them from losing the rights to the series.
As such, it was shot in just three weeks on a budget of $300,000, and without the involvement of perennial Pinhead actor Doug Bradley.
Hellraiser has had plenty of mediocre and outright awful sequels that you won't much remember, but Revelations is a uniquely terrible beast, given that it basically resembles something produced by a die-hard Hellraiser fan with an inheritance to burn but not a single creative bone in their body.
With aggressively naff production values, a shambolic script, dud performances, and a laughably brief 75-minute runtime, Revelations is nothing but an embarrassing testament to the desperate lengths companies will go to retain the rights to a beloved IP.
Shortly after the film came out, franchise creator Clive Barker hilariously tweeted of it, "If they claim it's from the mind of Clive Barker, it's a lie. It's not even from my butt-hole."
