Featured review
The surreal, hallucinatory, bizarre and nightmarish antecedent of Hellraiser
This film was inspired by the myth of Faust and already presented elements that would later be used in the Hellraiser saga, since the images of the film represent forbidden pleasures, which is a concept that Barker used later in his novel The Hellbound Heart and finally in the film adaptation Hellraiser and that is how one of the most popular sagas of horror cinema was born. The funny thing is that when Barker wrote the Candyman story, he also decided to call it The Forbidden, perhaps because he couldn't think of a better name. The Forbidden has a mix of negative tape with black and white, which makes it look very strange. It is a whole sequence of erotic, dark and nightmarish images which make it a very unusual and curious tape. With this film, Clive already gave a small sample of the chilling world of his works. My rating for this film is 8/10.
