yendiFor the most part, long sequences of horror movies cannot actually be charted on a straight 45-degree downward slope. The third, fourth, and seventh Nightmare on Elm Street movies, for example, are better than than the fifth and sixth. Similar patterns emerge in Friday the 13th, Halloween, Leprechuan, etc.
The closest you'll see to a straight line downward is Hellraiser. For seven films, each sequel seems custom-made to make the last film look good (and Hellworld, although better than some of the previous movies, was still pretty meh, mainly saved by some decent cast members).
The point being, the trailer for Hellraiser 9:Pinhead watches Turistas Revelations is now online, and man, does it look terrible.
