Hell on Earth gives the Pinhead character a bit more of the backstory hinted at in the previous sequel with some mixed results. The female friendship between the two leads is refreshing and grounds the film well in between scenes of people having their skin ripped off by hooks and partygoers being impaled by flying compact discs.
Warlock was an 80's horror film I'd avoided for some time, but having caught it on TV recently, I must say that my fears were unwarranted. It's an imaginative and entertaining fantasy, horror, and action movie hybrid with some impressive set pieces when you consider its low budget and limited resources.
Though Brian De Palma would soon finesse his style a bit with his next few films, that trademark wit and love of suspense are already present in Sisters, but it just comes with a layer of low budget grit over its canvas. In some ways this only adds to the bizarre story of two Siamese twins - one sane and the other insane - who are trailed by a nosy reporter after she witnesses one of them murder someone across the street from her apartment.
