    By Leslie Felperin

    Mia’Kate Russell’s 80s-set Ozsploitation horror is a tad slapdash, but the grungy gore and seething catfights save it from dud status

  23. Behind the Monsters on Shudder was amazing. the first six episodes were six of the biggest horror movie monsters of all time and ended with a splash with Pinhead from Hellraiser. I am becoming a Clive Barker fan very rapidly. I love the original and the rebooted Hellraiser. I have seen Hellraiser 2 but I’m behind on the sequels. It was a great episode. The whole series was worth it. #horrorMovies #horrorDocs #horrorSeries #horrorFilms #hellraiser #cliveBarker #queerHorror
