Epigenetics is still largely unproven so I wouldn't say it's "genetics 101" but I personally believe it's true.
There is a sizeable number of people out there who literally think trauma is written into your genetic code regardless of your upbringing and environment. As in, your mother survived a brutal attack at some point in her life. She gives you up for adoption immediately after birth. You never know her or her history, but you are still afraid of men because her trauma is literally written into your genes. I think this is bullshit.
When I was studying it, it was a large part of the first few lectures. If I'm wrong then I blame the university.
What your mother experiences will impact your time in the womb. Lets say she had a brutal attack so now she's scared of men and is anxious around them. In the womb you're going to be flooded with anxiety hormones in a way someone else isn't. Which is going to impact how you develop. You might not be afraid of men but you might have a higher degree of anxiety. It makes sense that unborn babies are pre-birth prepared for what they're going to come into. Like how famines impact how unborn babies process food differently.
I literally cannot decipher what you are trying to say here. Do you have a problem with the word "icon" specifically? Why in the hell?
I have a problem with the term icon because it's fag coded as the kids say. The concept of an actual icon is long dead and now faggots call everything an icon for no reason.
I watched Hellraiser Inferno. It's a fantastic film and I easily give it an 8/10, maybe 9/10. It's a noir detective story where you're never sure what is real and isn't. Which is exactly my kind of horror film. The worst part of the movie is Pinhead, not because Pinhead is bad in any way but he doesn't fit the rest of the film. It's the best Hellraiser movie so far but it's the least Hellraiser movie. The first 3 have bad last acts but really shine in the special effects. 4 is just a mess and shouldn't have gone to space. Cut the past, cut space and just tell the story of a man who unknowingly built a giant cube and now has to shut it down before it opens and unleashes hell.
I like Pinhead but he's poorly used in most of the movies. He really needs to be a general leading from the back, spreading corruption like he does in the black mass scene. But the movies don't use him well and he often comes off as silly when doing body horror stuff.
The space one also having a scene where two brothers discuss fucking a tranny is really off putting. I know Hellraiser is fag bondage turned into horror, but it crossed a line there and it felt like the director justifying fucking trannies. It doesn't even come back into the story in any way, where it could have been shown as a sin of lust to punish.
