Hellraiser: Prophecy (2006), fan film directed by Jonathan S. Kui, based on characters from the novella The Hellbound Heart Two hundred years later, the time has come again to try the great work of bringing the Imajica together. But there are no more Maestros - the Tabula Rasa, descendants of the former Maestro's surviving followers, have done their best to wipe Britain clean of all things magical.

Guardian Angel: Pie seems to fulfill this role for Gentle at first (he's not very good at it, sadly). Later, it's Clem and Tay who fulfill this role. Deadpan Snarker: It's easier to list who actually isn't. All the major protagonists fall into this trope at times. Clive Barker ( Liverpool, Anglia, Egyesült Királyság, 1952. október 5. –) angol író, filmrendező. Leginkább fantasy és horror témájú munkáiról ismert.In 2003, Clive Barker received The Davidson/Valentini Award at the 15th GLAAD Media Awards.

Freudian Excuse: The Autarch, being the clone of Gentle, he struggles to find a place in the world that's not taken by his "brother". Unfortunately, this tends to make him The Antagonist. Disclaimer: I've listened to Imajica as an audio book. Its length is 37h 20min. I stopped at roughly 10 hours in. Couldn't finish the book, but I still wanted to write a review to get it out of my system. Also, writing is fun! Michael, Dennis (5 November 1998). "The 'Gods and Monsters' of James Whale". CNN .

About the Collaborators

I See Dead People: A little magic in knowledge is necessary, but it still means that lots of people can see them. Actually a plot point as the dead souls can't find the way to the afterlife. Aerith and Bob: Naming conventions in the other Dominions are somewhat... unconventional, so beside characters from Earth like Clem, Oscar, and Judith, we have characters from the other worlds like Peccable, Huzzah, and Hairstone Banty to name just a few.

Be as Unhelpful as Possible: Pie knows something about Gentle, but despite the latter's efforts, he never breaks Pie open. Actually subverted, Pie would love to tell him everything, but due to the magic he used to make Gentle forget his past, every time he tries to explain it all, Gentle loses consciousness. Alas, Poor Villain: Sartori. Mass murderer, sadist, power-drunk. But in the end, he's just Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life. Another classic Barker at his finest with that perfect blend of horror an fantasy, although with this read the direction is more fantasy with a nice splash of the erotic thrown in. It's not always an easy read as it is over 1000+ long!!! Clive Barker to form Midnight Picture Show". Advocate.com. 26 May 2005 . Retrieved 30 October 2014.I wish the author had...i dunno, sat on the book for a while, taken more time away from it, or put more ruthlessness into its revisions. You could probably excise half or more of the second volume, and greatly improve the entirety of Imajica. The Antichrist: Hinted at: the baby of Sartori and Judith looks like that, but it's subverted when it's a nice little girl who comes to the world. Book of Blood (2009), film directed by John Harrison, based on short stories " The Book of Blood" and " On Jerusalem Street" Imajica is not immense because of excessive detail or too many characters. In fact you could argue Barker's Imajica only really has three characters (or perhaps only one). It is not immense because of geography. It is immense with ideas.
