Necromentia (2009)

August 16, 2010

Just finished this one, and my feelings on it are mixed. It contains some scenes that border on brilliance, but it also has some that are sleep inducing. It borrows heavily from Hellraiser, and throws in a little bit of Saw for good measure. There’s a creature that looks just like one of the cenobites from the Hellraiser movies, and the lead demon is based on Pinhead, but has a voice that reminds one of Jigsaw. It has an excellent torture bit, and a wonderfully twisted scene with a fat guy wearing a pig mask while dancing around and singing a demented kids song about suicide. The main problem is there’s not enough of the twisted stuff to make this a great movie, and too much of the sleep inducing stuff. 5/10
