The Scarlet Gospels by Clive Barker
4.0
The character descriptions and actions are very explicit in more way than one. I found the use of the main characters mystical tattoos as a signal of danger he couldn't fully comprehend to be a great device to signal danger while still making Henry feel inexperienced.
The narration generally jumped between a few vehicles and this is fine but I think maintaining an observer outside of Pinhead himself would have better maintained the mysticism surrounding his legend.
Pinhead seemed slightly out of character at times when it was convenient for the plot but still as brutal as ever. My only experience with this character outside of the films is in The Hellbound Heart where he's not nearly as fleshed out as he is here, no pun intended.
