Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart's last(?) (or so they say) outing as Wolverine and Professor Xavier respectively, this is a violent and bloody R-rated stand-alone that owes more to classic Westerns (in particular Shane) than to any of the other X-men movies to date.


Very loosely based in the Old Man Logan graphic novels, in that it follows an aging Wolverine in a future society following an undisclosed disaster, with that about all it takes from those stories.

The Lament Configuration, that little box of pain and misfortune along with the cenobites had me at hello back in the day when this was released as it satisfied my horror fix and was certified X rated, which could be seen as a little heavy handed nowadays.
This film explores many subjects including sadism and sex and Clive Barker interweaves these wonderfully with gore and creepiness and pinhead the leader of the cenobites became a cult character that helped spawn many sequels, although I hear they never reach the heights of this classic.
