What do you feel to be
THE worst Clive Barker adaptation?
#2
Since it has to be an adaption I say Dread. If you asked worst movie based on Clive's written work it would be Underworld aka Transmutations. But since you didn't Dread is the worst. Lousy acting and poor direction. And where was the budget for the film? Nowhere.
In fact I found myself wanting this to be not Clive Barker related.
BTW, I still have not watched Hellraiser Revelations and won't ever even though it is on Netflix.

Dread was pretty bad.
Before I was also thinking maybe the Tales From the Darkside episode. It was a bit silly but it wasn't THAT far off from what I remember from the story.
LOL You'll probably torture yourself one day with Hellraiser Revelations then regret it.

Underworld for sure. After that, maybe Saint Sinner, if that one can even count.

I don't think so. Remember my rant about Troll 2? I have learned my lesson on watching things that have "BAD IDEA" written all over them.
Don't let Fallon hear you say that. I myself liked Rawhead for what it was.

Both of those are questionable as for "adaptions." To me those are original screenplays since they don't appear in any other format that I know of. Saint Sinner did appear in the comics but in title only. Clive just reused the name because he liked it and the comic is considered a failure... (not in my eyes though because it was my favorite of the Razorline titles.)

Saint Sinner movie wasn't written by Clive, and Underworld script was re-written, so in that sense it could be called an adaptation.

Good points. I would have to agree with all.
