Henry Cavill

The Ultimate "I Know That Guy!" Horror Movie

The next time you're watching Hellworld and Henry Cavill appears on screen, resist the urge to yell:

"SUPERMAN!"

Although, let's be honest, that's probably impossible.

Because once you've seen him in the movie, you can't unsee it.

There's young Henry Cavill, years before the blue suit and red cape, wandering around a Hellraiser movie while Pinhead is busy doing what Pinhead does best.

It's one of those wonderfully strange pieces of movie history that makes horror so much fun.

The genre is full of forgotten movies.

It's full of strange sequels.

It's full of questionable fashion choices.

It's full of actors who went on to become famous.

And occasionally, it's full of Superman getting invited to a Cenobite party.

So if you've never seen Hellraiser: Hellworld, give it a shot.

Not necessarily because it's the greatest Hellraiser movie ever made.

But because somewhere between the Cenobites, the online gaming, Lance Henriksen and the questionable early-2000s party aesthetic is a fascinating little time capsule containing one of Hollywood's future biggest stars.

Before Henry Cavill was Superman, he went to Hell.

And apparently, he brought a DVD player.
