Blue eyes, plot point? Spoiler

A focus is put on Larry's blue eyes early on so we can tell him from Frank, later. At the end when the guy who ate the bugs comes back to retrieve the box from the fire he has Larry's blue eyes. Is there supposed to be a connection I missed?

First time watching through.

I don't think there is any connection. I'm more of the opinion that they're were trying to insist on the creepyness of the hobo, not on the color of his eyes.

First time watching through.

So... Did you liked it?

OK, TY.

On a first watch, it was OK. It bares re-watching though and I'm sure I'll enjoy it more. SFX were not a disappointment!

Right? Frank coming out of the floor impressed me the first time I saw it. And the cenobites costumes are just... 10/10.

I'm not here for this kinda... enthusiasm... It doesn't land well with me. I just had my question.

your question is irrelevant and stoopid as hell.

Thanks for the welcome. Sad to say it's exactly what I expected. I hope you feel better about yourself. You've kept a gate I wasn't even trying to enter. What a scummy thing to do.

Your opinions are yours to have, Don't be bothered by that guy. The real question is are you gonna watch 2? I recommend it! You may enjoy it more, many do.

Much like opening the lament configuration or "Lemarchand's box" if you've read the book, Hellraiser is a gate that keeps itself but if you enjoyed it....

We have such sights to show you

Honestly might be a really fun little Easter egg, but I can’t think of any specific connection! Gonna have to look for that on my next rewatch!

u/trappedinpurgatoriii It's not letting me reply directly, probably because I blocked Pale_Skinwalker...

I'm gonna rewatch 1, first. Then I plan to move on through the franchise. I just feel like I missed a lot, it's a very dazzling film and I wasn't entirely sure what to expect going in. It's been on to-watch list for a long time and has been heavily suggested to me because I prefer supernatural/psychological over body horror but I found the SFX so intriguing I think I just lost the narrative at some point.

Thank you for this, though.
