Watched Hellraiser with a woman who was seeing it for the first time. I don't know if it was the company or just the fact that I'm older and times have changed, but there is a LOT of subtext in the final act of that movie that I did not pick up on before.

It is a film that tells you a lot about the author.
Hail to thyself
For I am my own master
I am my own god
I require no shepherd
For I am no sheep.

I haven't seen Hellraiser for many years, I'll have to watch it again from that perspective to see.

If you want to view paradise . . . simply look around and view it!
