Review #17: No More Souls: One Last Slice of Sensation (2004) - Fan film

This six-minute short is the first fan film I've watched. As you may be able to guess, it's a Hellraiser fan film, and relatively well-liked by those who've seen it. It's not overly difficult to see why.

Country of Origin: USA

Director: Gary J. Tunnicliffe [Within the Rock, No More Souls: One Last Slice of Sensation]

This film opens with a quote quite befitting of the situation.

Humanity is gone - Earth's population was decimated due to nuclear weaponry, and is now uninhabitable. Pinhead laments this fact, as now, there are no more souls to condemn to eternal suffering. In short, he is bored. Too impatient to wait millions of years for more humans to arrive, he decides to end his suffering, and open the Lament Configuration.

This movie is short and to the point. Pinhead (played by the director, Gary Tunnicliffe) has a great monologue for most of the short, showing the boredom of Pinhead and the restlessness of the Cenobites quite well.

Despite the absence of Doug Bradley, I feel that regardless, the film does a good job. The make-up is solid, due to the fact that Tunnicliffe was responsible for the make-up in many well-known horror films, among them the third, fourth, sixth, seventh, and eighth Hellraiser films. Of course, he also worked on the make-up in Hellraiser: Revelations, so perhaps he shouldn't get all the credit.

No More Souls: One Last Slice of Sensation is short, sweet, and to the point. Apparently, this is an Easter Egg on the Hellraiser: Deader DVD, if you wish to purchase it. It can also be found online with relative ease.

My rating: 8/10
