Reviews

[Dannii Elle · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the fifth instalment in the Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Bestiary series.

I've awarded this entire series a solid four-star rating and this penultimate volume was no exception. As usual, two stories featured before a continuation of the 'The Hunted' story, that has played out in instalments across each volume. I enjoyed all contents equally and have loved my immersion in the horrors featured. It has provided me with the thrills and chills that I had anticipated but also some added information about Barker's creations that I did not forecast this to also include.

Probably the worst of all 6 issues of this miniseries. First one would be a nice horror story if only there isn't Hellraiser connection. Another forced story. Second one also. Twilight Zone, sure. Hellraiser, hell no. Also, art style is not something that shines here. Hell priest John Wick stars again killing bad Catholic priests and mercenaries.

Eh

I didn't like this one as much as the others. The stories just weren't very good, to me. It's just okay.
