Shown on interrupted digital feedback on a video playback, Anderson’s Hell is some kind of spherical torture chamber modelled on the spaceship itself. Anderson’s sci-fi horror only contains a few seconds of actual Hell stuff, but it’s more than enough to scar anyone who’s seen it.
Charlie’s vision might just be a nightmare, but since the film revolves around the existence of Dog Heaven, it stands to reason that the other place exists in Bluth’s universe, too. Doggie Hell isn’t all just unchewable bones and unscratchable fleas either – it’s a bubbling lake of fire filled with skeletal dragons and biting demons that drag Charlie the German Shepherd down into the flames. It’s played for laughs, but there’s something uniquely terrifying about a Hell that tortures you with your own bad memories and anxieties instead of whips and chains.įurther reading: Original Ending of Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey Revealed All Dogs Go To Heaven (1989)Īnother example of a Hell vision that’s made so much worse by being aimed at kids, Don Bluth goes even darker by telling us that our pet dogs might end up “down there” too. Ted’s military academy future turns into Bill’s haunting childhood past, and characters from both start stalking them through a metal labyrinth. Things get a lot more gnarly (in a bad way) soon after though, with Bill and Ted each experiencing their own personal Hells. The first bit of Bill And Ted’s descent into Hell seems kinda cool – with Satan pulling the pair into the jaws of a big metal wolf head, looking like something from a Judas Priest album cover. As if it couldn’t get any worse, along comes Robin Williams to step on you… Bill And Ted’s Bogus Journey (1991) There are no flames, no demons and no red hot pokers down here – just an endless sea of upturned faces buried bodies packed tightly together to form a grey floor of living heads. Often overlooked for all the slushy bits, Vincent Ward’s heaven-set fantasy starring Robin Williams gave us just as much salt with its sugar – and the film’s brief detour into Hell is one of the most visually chilling (and horrifyingly restrained) sequences around. The bit at the bottom looked way worse, but the crumbling city up top was still stalked by half-headed dog demons – making this one of the most apocalyptic yet varied visions of Hell in the movies.

Francis Lawrence’s movie gave us an epic CG vision of the afterlife – with a nuclear wind washing over a crumbling cityscape above an underworld crowded with screaming souls being tortured by long limbed demons. Sit on a chair with your feet in a bucket of water and stare deeply into the eyes of a cat and you might just open up a portal to DC’s take on Hell. Pretty horrifying stuff, but she did kill that kitten… Constantine (2005) We find out midway through the film that the demons want Christine’s soul so they can “feast upon it while her body festers in the grave”, but we only see where she’s actually going in the shocking last scene – pulled down beneath the earth of the railway tracks into a Hell that’s basically just all groping arms and burning fire. To be fair, she does also kill a kitten in the film, so she probably deserved it. Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) pisses off a gypsy by denying her a credit extension and gets condemned to eternal damnation in Sam Raimi’s ultimate horror of slight over-reactions.
